After protesters shouting \u201cGo home\u201d turned back busloads of immigrant mothers and children in Murrieta, Calif., a furious Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, the Roman Catholic archbishop of New York, sat down at his notepad and drafted a blog post<\/a>\u00a0detailing his shame at the episode, writing, \u201cIt was un-American; it was unbiblical; it was inhumane.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When the governor of Iowa, Terry E. Branstad, said he did not want the migrants in his state, declaring<\/a>, \u201cWe can\u2019t accept every child in the world who has problems,\u201d clergy members in Des Moines held a prayer vigil at a United Methodist Church to demonstrate their desire to make room for the refugees.<\/p>\n

But around the nation, an array of religious leaders are trying to mobilize support for the children, saying the nation can and should welcome them.<\/p>\n
