Dean Johnson Comments for KCRA-TV on Catholic Church’s Help for Immigrant Children

Dean Kevin R. Johnson commented for KCRA-TV (NBC) on the Catholic Church's effort to assist undocumented immigrant minors who are coming from Central American to the United States. About 50 women and children who had been living in a government-run detention center have been invited to spend a few nights at a former convent in Fontana, about 50 miles east of Los Angeles.

Dean Johnson cited the growing poverty and violence in Central American countries as the reason immigrants are seeking refuge in the U.S. "There are no jobs, there's no future available for the people there. And so they're fleeing for their lives, literally," he told KCRA.
