Bishop Taylor, who is fluent in Spanish and has worked in Hispanic ministry for 28 years, said he believes being able to immigrate to another country is an "intrinsic human right."
That is an opinion, making matters worse. It mirrors the umma which to me is extremely offensive.
One of the reasons which, a a Catholic, led me to believe that the church left me, and is now part of the problem. Tolerance for criminal behavior, like charity, ceases to exist when it is coerced. I reject that perversion of "Christian" virtue.

"They do have a right to immigrate when circumstances require," he said.
It is not within the authority of a Bishop, nor should it ever be, to determine what is a secular "right." It's that simple. That is an essential part what separation of church and state means.

They are here because there is no way to get documents, not because they don't want documents.
That is an outright lie, a strange moral imperfection for a Bishop.
It suggests, clearly, that legal immigration from Mexico is prohibited. If he doesn't know better, he has no business pursuing any sort of leadership authority of any kind.

Fortunately, there are clearly more sober and rational minds at work :

The greatest dishonesty is the constant claim by the "open borders" crowd that legal immigration is impossible.

In 2009, the latest year for which statistics are available, Mexico ranked #1 with 15% of all the legal permanent resident immigrants allowed into the U.S.

Anyone asserting the the remaining poor and distressed people of the entire world simply don't matter, needs a serious attitude or common sense readjustment.
