text: The bishops have failed spectacularly in educating Catholics about the realities of immigration law.  This is especially ironic since the bishops have easy access to the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, which has attorneys and resources to provide that education.  
  Only people who actually understand something about the vagaries of immigration law can make informed decisions about what kind of policy they support.
  The often repeated instruction of "getting in line" is just one example of the lack of knowledge about this topic.
