Catholics causing a ruckus ...

Church stands firm in opposition to immigration reform bill

... The bill, which was passed by the House in December and must be still approved by the Senate, would make it a crime to help undocumented immigrants stay in the U.S. It would require churches and other social organizations to ask immigrants for legal documentation before providing assistance.

Msgr. Arturo Bañuelas, the pastor at St. Pius X, told the El Paso Times that the bill could send him and other church workers to prison for taking groceries to the elderly, driving people to doctor appointments, teaching English classes and other activities the church undertakes without questioning people on their immigration status ...

This makes a lot of sense to me. The Church is not a national entity, it is universal (or catholic ... wow!) and, even if it is illegal, it cannot be stop carrying out its mission of bringing Christ's love into the world. There's a difference between breaking the law by helping illegal immigrants get into the country and simply helping people who need it. Love transcends national boundaries.
