The Catholic church has no special place to be involved in this issue except for their selfish desire to fill the pews with Mexican Catholics.
This is not a moral issue. It is a political issue and therefore they should stay out of it!

As a Catholic it gets to me to see Cardinals and Bishops standing for the invasion of our country.
Would they feel the same way if the vast majority of these people were non-catholic, or Jewish?

I dont think they would. They need to mind their Church’s and stay out of politics and Mexican invasions.

You confuse Mahony's prudential statement with the actual teaching of the Church. They are, more often than not, not the same.

2241 The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.

Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.

A simpleton like you probably believes this idiot:

is an authority on the Constitution.

I do not think the Church gives a darn as to what country mexican catholics attend mass in. It is essentially the same mass in the US, mexico, south america, england, paris, etc.
