Beyond that, it cheapens Scripture to draw an equation between the Holy Family's temporary emigration to Egypt --- under threat of death --- and the illegal immigration of millions who have come here.  Relatively few of them have come out of true necessity, such as threat of death.  For them, there is refugee status, a merciful, right solution to their plight.  The great majority come simply because they want a better living than they can easily find in their own countries.   That's not sufficient grounds for claiming refugee status.  Hence, the comparison between the Holy Family and the ordinary illegal alien is bogus, a sham.  Fr. Brisotti should be ashamed of himself for using Jesus falsely to push a Democrat agenda.
