Agreed. I find the position of the pro-amnesty bishops quite scandalizing. They haven't made the case that US immigration law is an unjust law to be disobeyed.
And even if you are a member, you must be a member in good standing, that is, in the state of grace, free of mortal sin before you can consume the Body and Blood of Christ.
I find the pro-amnesty bishops scandalizing on this too. If, in discussing your situation with your confessor, he learned that you were violating the law here on an ongoing basis, would you get absolution without expressing firm purpose of amendment? Without some plan for restitution? What if he learned you were violating the law in another country in order to better yourself or your family? Would you get absolution?
I find it quite scandalous that Catholics here illegally apparently aren't bound by the same requirements--set in canon law, if I'm not mistaken--that you and I are. No wonder so many Catholics feel free to disobey Church teaching.
That is an excellent point.
