". . . who can bring all their own richness to our common life . . ."

But there is NOT commonality.  Illegals --- especially those from Central and South America --- characteristically stick to themselves, refuse to assimilate, do not learn the language, and do not  embrace American culture.  (Although the last is maybe a good thing.)  It is hugely divisive for part of a population to speak one language and a large part of the population to speak another.  

" . . . and homogenization of our mutual culture  . . . "  Now I know you're joking.  Homogeneity --- a good thing --- is exactly what will be destroyed by the importation of the poorest and least educated of foreign cultures who resist becoming part of us.  Look at your own parish.  It's wonderful that your pastor puts immigration aside and has Mass in Spanish.  But where's your homogeneity?  Your parish is split, as are most parishes with large hispanic populations.
