Gomez sets a bad example for all immigrants to follow. He became a citizen via the same opportunity that exists today for any legal immigrant in this country, but wants to reward illegal immigrants with amnesty:

USCIS Process
"At USCitizenship.info we believe that the process of becoming an American citizen should be easy to understand, simple to complete, and accessible to every eligible person. Assuming you already have a Green Card, this article will address the most common questions that individuals may have when going through the naturalization process:"

Or, instead of a "nation of laws", let's just do chaos instead, and let the battle begin.
WE didn't create this permanent underclass, Your Holiness. THEY did. By illegally crossing the border and coming to a country where they can never become citizens THEY created and joined this permanent underclass. If they had stayed in Latin America, they would be citizens. They would be legal. And with hard work and entrepreneurial skills, or with a clever invention, they could become rich in the same way that so many Latinos have become rich: by staying in Latin America, and using their hard work and their skills to make Latin America a better place to live.
The whole discussion about illegal immigration starts from a flawed premise ... or more accurately, several flawed premises. Start from the premise that the law must be obeyed, Your Holiness. And from there, the discussion will reach a fair and just conclusion for everyone.
One of the biggest gripes I have with the Catholic Church and many other churches. They simply don’t seem to recognize the concept of national sovereignty.
Protesters Question Clergyman’s Loyalty
At Archbishop Jose Gomez Residence
Dozens of protesters have shown up at Archbishop of Los Angelus Jose Gomez residence many carrying American flags and bearing signs questioning his loyalty to the US not Mexico along with many signs demanding equal rights for American citizens in Mexico.
The protest was apparently triggered by the clerics decision to push forward with his predesessors decision the disgraced Cardinal Mahoney with offering amnesty thus citizenship to Mexicans crossing the border illegally while thousands of Americans in Mexico suffer under 2nd class citizenship unable to own property and suffer indignantys let alone participate in Mexican elections while living there in Mexico.
A spokeswoman for the group, Harriet Hildegarden insisted her group consists of Catholics loyal to the church. “We will be protesting at other locations where prominent clergy of the church have sided with the Obama regime. Hildy” claims the church is supporting the democrat party which denied God at their convention and declared what she claims is war on the Catholics but would do collude with it on social engineering issues including “amnesty” .
When asked if she may be denied communion for her activities her reply was “Well it’s been known that when that happens quicker when clerics get personally attacked rather than when some politican challanges the church on the grounds of faith and morals” .

The vast majority of Hispanics vote for pro-abortion politicians. Anyone who wants more of them voting is objectively pro-abortion, and that includes Archbishop Gomez.
