Cardinal Mahony Condemns Arizona's Immigration Law

[onehandle]

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― The head of the nation's largest archdiocese says a proposed Arizona law cracking down on illegal immigrants encourages "German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques."

Cardinal Roger Mahony, who heads the Los Angeles archdiocese, made the comments in his blog Sunday, a day before the Arizona Legislature passed the bill.

If it's signed by Gov. Jan Brewer, the bill would require police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally.

Mahony, who serves a huge Hispanic immigrant population, says he can't imagine people turning in others who look foreign or because they might lack papers.
