Tribune editorial: The Utah Compact remains timely, unfortunately

Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune "Strong families are the foundation of successful communities," said Bishop Oscar A. Solis, leader of Utah’s Catholic community. "That is why we oppose all policies that unnecessarily separate families. We champion policies that are supportive of families, that contribute to the welfare and well-being of all children." Salt Lake City business and civic leaders gathered Wednesday to reaffirm the principles of the Utah Compact, initially adopted in 2010. The compact emphasizes humane treatment of immigrants, keeping families together and focusing deportation on serious criminals.
