“At the same meeting in California, the bishop aired a video documentary created by the USCCB as a part of ‘Justice for Immigrants.’ The documentary followed a Mexican family as they were led on foot, illegally, over the U.S. border. The film glorified the journey and gave it spiritual overtones. The audience was truly aghast that the bishops would be party to an act of breaking the law. (Yet this film is being shown in parishes throughout the United States.)
“Unfortunately, the film never explains why a nation’s control of its borders is trumped by the material needs of the citizens of another country.”
