Rules and Rules

So it seems that church leaders are particularly interested in their flock following the rules/laws of the church.  But the same leaders seem to be for "illegal" immigration.  Well, by its very title it is against the law.  So what gives here.  The white flight from the pews can be replaced by the immigrants who have lots of kids and don't complain about the hierarchy.  Well, if the leaders can be OK about the breaking of the law, why not the rest of us when it comes to church laws?  Hmm.
