This is true, but many other people read the posts on Anti-immigration threads and look down on B16.

The problem has never been Benedict. The problem is same as always, with the USCCB. So, get your own bishops straight, and you won’t have these problems.

we already had a reference, since the 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church says the same thing and it was always the common sense position of the Church, as one would expect.

CCC 2241: Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.
