LOS ANGELES — A leading member of the Catholic Church has condemned a congressional resolution that, he said, further victimizes immigrants. He also took the occasion to initiate a campaign for immigrant rights.

Cardinal Roger Mahoney, head of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, attacked House Resolution 4437 as “a new attack on immigrants [and} a very malicious bill that imposes restrictions and penalties on immigrants [and also] those who offer them any kind of assistance.â€
