It would be easier to believe the man if there weren't an obvious political motive at play, but when modern Catholic Bishops talk about charity, it's not what they mean. They're often talking about government imposed actions, or encourage inaction, as in the case of enforceable laws regarding illegal aliens. No one at Tikkon, Commonweal, or the Sun Times is complaining about the separation of Church and State at least in this case. As long as Catholic prelates support socialist agendas, propaganda organs are eager to offer a hand or remain silent.
If this Bishop's statement didn't do violence to Church law itself (Canon Law advises obedience to the Civil Law), it would be easier to accept, but again, reality intrudes to contravene a pretty ideological presupposition which is really about being generous with other people's resources, other people's livelihoods and other people's lives.
More Americans have been killed by illegals than have died in both Iraq and Afghanistan combined, here, here, here.
