"Each nation must determine and administer its policies related to immigration. The Church does not advocate any specific legislative or executive solution. Our hope is that, in whatever solution emerges, there is provision for strengthening families and keeping them together," the statement continued. “We also acknowledge that every nation has the right to enforce its laws and secure its borders and that all persons subject to a nation’s laws are accountable for their acts in relation to them.”

The White House announced on Thursday it will endorse allowing 1.8 million immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children to seek citizenship.

The plan is set to be unveiled next week.

Prominent Evangelical leaders, including the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez and Russell Moore, have also praised the administration's move.
