... Catholic Church, such as the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
From the Pope's message announcing the upcoming 99th World Day of Migrants and Refugees on January 13, 2013 (link, bolding added):
...Certainly every state has the right to regulate migration and to enact policies dictated by the general requirements of the common good, albeit always in safeguarding respect for the dignity of each...
... UPDATE 3: Not surprisingly, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has come out in support of the evangelicals' letter.
6/14/12 UPDATE: The National Immigration Forum supports the Table too.
On a related note, one of the groups originally signing on is Focus on the Family, and that's created trouble in paradise.

... countries; see the link. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops are enabling bad parenting: they're encouraging people to put their children in a precarious situation rather than encouraging them to remain in their home countries and reform their systems. The Bishops are in effect encouraging people to try to cross the desert, with some dying along the way (see false compassion).

Between October 19 and 26, a group of far-left religious groups [1] will be conducting a "Media Violence Fast" during which they're encouraging their members to avoid violence in the media; that wouldn't be such a bad goal if all they were doing was avoiding entertainment programs. Of course, they aren't doing just that. Instead, they're using the "hate speech" label to both paper over the fact...
On January 12, 2006, the American Bar Association held a conference called "Fortress America: Comprehensive Immigration Reform" at the National Press Club in Washington DC in support of that "reform" and specifically in opposition to HR4437.
