Meanwhile in Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney held a special mass as sign of solidarity with undocumented immigrants. Mahoney has vowed to order priests to ignore a proposed law that would make it a crime for priests, social workers and health care workers to help undocumented workers. “Well, we are at a very critical moment in the history of our country with immigration and we have the opportunity that we haven’t had in many years to actually pass a law that is humane and just and deals with all the issues around immigration,” Mahoney said. Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers also spoke in Los Angeles: “This is really great right now. We’re seeing a new civil rights movement being formed by Latinos. The Cardinal having the mass is such good support because this is such a national organization. When the Cardinal says he’s going to commit civil disobedience on behalf of the immigrants, then this is going to inspire others to do the same. This will have an effect on Washington.” Across the country immigrant groups are planning for massive nationwide protests on Monday.
