Big role seen for Catholic Church under new law By Ed Jahn Staff Wrlttr
"We're doing some informal things but some people are anxious to get started," Plank said. "Many of the ones who have already registered haye qualified through other pro- grams and are very aware of this one." Plank said the Roman Catholic Church has naturally taken the lead in the new immigration reform law because of its existing national and statewide network for screening and processing immigrants. "We've had accredited counselors working with Vietnamese, Cambodi- ans, Laotians, Eastern Europeans, Ethiopians. We've had people from Afghanistan, war refugees from Iraq and Iran, and certain cases from Cuba and El Salvador. This is not strictly a prr.gram for people from Mexico," she said She added that religious affiliation is not a consideration for application. The diocese will be given $15 for each person it processes, Regin said. All non-profit providers will meet and settle on a fee they will charge with the stipulation that the fee can be adjusted downward if the appli- cants are indigent, he added. In addition, the INS will be charg- ing somewhere between $150 and $200 to administer each legalization request. Law firms, profit-making immigration agencies and notaries also will be processing_ applicants and the Universit of San Die o may process some applicants throu its law clinics, Regin said. Regin said it will take about 200 volunteers to staff the four CCS le- galization centers in the South Bay, North County and San Diego. About 10 will be INS-trained counselors and several will legal advisers, he said. "We will also be speaking at the parish level, letting people know what the procedure will be and when we can come to their location to help," Plank said. "We have to get out there because some people don't have transportation. We've found that some are also hesitant to come out at this time and make it known they need to become legalized.'' &----~-
track record of successful work," said E.B. Duarte, national director of the INS Outreach Program, which is aimed at encouraging as many peo- n.e as possible to participate in the legalization process. "All along, the Catholic Church has been right at the top of the list." The fact that the vast majority of the applicants will be Hispanics with roots in the Roman Catholic faith "is something that has not consciously been staled since we got involved in the reform in 1979," Regin said. "This is something the church is committed to and something we would be involved with regardless," he explained. "We have been in- volved in the legislation and the de- sign of the implementation. It is an extension of our involvement with the needs of the people." "The commitment of the church to immigrants in the United States, a~d in particular to the undocumented, 1s a long-standing one," Bishop Leo T. Maher said last week in a prepared statement. "The trust that immi- grants have in the church is a valu- able asset, not only for evangeliza- lion but also for offering assistance in a sensitive and confidential area such as legalization." Maher said the church is attempt- ing to alleviate the historic distrust ,nany undocumented aliens feel toward the INS, an agency whose job it is to arrest and deport persons who are in this country illegally. "The one thing we fear is that many, many people may get impa- tient and get taken in by unscrupu- lous 'agents.' I am sure that certain people will try to take advantage of this situation for their own, personal gain," Maher said. Patience continues to be the watchword at the CCS Refugee Off- ice at 4643 Mission Gorge Place, al- though people already have started making appointments to begin the application process, according to Gwen Plank, office director. In the Imperial Vally, diocesan programs will be conducted by the Centro de Asuntos Megratorios at 527

The application forms are still to be written. but the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego is already sign- ing up people ii will help to become legal U.S. residents when the new im- migration reform law takes effect this May The diocese doesn't even have a contract yet with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to pro- vide the screening and processing of the expected hundreds of thousands of applications in San Diego County. But even before the landmark re- form bill was signed last November, it wa a foregone conclusion that the Roman Catholic Church would be the major non-profit provider of assist- ance to the estimated 5 million peo- ple nationwide who will soon seek legal status. "First, we believe it is a service we've been involved with for many years in connection with refugees and now we feel it should be expand- ed to immigrants," said the Rev. Douglas Regin, exerutive director of Catholic Community Services (CCS) in San Diego, the main proposed con- tractor for the local amnesty pro- gram. CCS will subcontract with the Mi- gration Refugee Service of the U.S. Catholic Conference, an organization of the various dioc1>ses and an ad- mini trative arm of the U.S. bishops in programming and policy imple- mentation Regin said. "Also, it i an opportunity the Hispanic community has and we want to avail the church as a natural entity th people feel comfortable with. We hope they will feel they have acces with u more readily than the INS," he added. "When it comes to contracting w, h ,ion-profit agencies to provide legali.tation ervice.~. we will first look to the people wr have a proven See ALIENS o Page B-2 - --
