It’s the pro-illegal-immigration clerics who so often get the press (especially among Catholic clerics, if I may be parochial), but I just caught this clip of Denver Archbishop Charles Caput, originally in an interview with PBS’s Ray Suarez, as picked up by The National Catholic Register:

Archbishop Chaput said that the Church favors immigration laws that serve the dignity of immigrants and the common good.
”Breaking the law is never appropriate. And being an illegal alien is not good for the person who breaks the law, nor is it good for our country,” said the archbishop. “So the Church is not in favor of illegal immigration. The Church is in favor of changing the laws so that they work, they make sense.
”Most of these people are Catholics,” he continued. “the ones who arrive from Latin America, and I have a responsibility to be their shepherd.

What a nice contrast from, say, Cardinal Mahony.
