Catholic bishops go all out for illegals.
They foolishly go all out for these border bounding bastards, who upon arrival become Mormons, Baptists, Pentecostals, or join whatever church is serving the best sandwiches and has the best thrift shop.
The problem with the American Catholic Church is that it is still somehow madly in love with Pope Pius IX. If Irish-American Catholics' ancestors had been sentenced to do a little time in Papal Political Prisons, maybe they wouldn't have such a rosy view of their bishops and popes. The Papal States weren't exactly a loving democracy, ya know?
While old Pio Nono was penning his Christian Socialist Encyclicals with one hand, he was locking up political dissidents with the other ... and hanging more than a few! The Papacy gave up the Papal States only after a rather thorough military drubbing.
