Cardinal Roger Mahony: no boycott. Is he agitating foreign citizens in our country?

From this:

Cardinal Roger Mahony, an outspoken supporter of congressional proposals to allow illegal immigrants to become citizens, is urging immigrants not to participate in a worker and student boycott planned for May 1.

The planned boycott, coming on the heels of massive nationwide protests, calls on students and workers to stay home in support of immigrant rights.

"I believe that we can make May 1st a win-win day here in Southern California: go to work, go to school, and then join thousands of us at a major rally afterward," Mahony said in a statement released late Sunday.

Mahony suggested employers and schools set aside an hour on May 1 to discuss immigration reform. He also suggested they encourage employees and students to write letters to Congress urging sweeping reform...

It's good that he's opposed to the boycott. However, isn't he encouraging foreign citizens to march in our streets? Isn't he agitating foreign nationals who are in our country illegally? Are there laws against such behavior, or would those only apply if he advocates violence or breaking the law concerning the protest itself?

Note, of course, that Mahoney is giving cover to those who want to propagandize this issue in schools. What chance is there of there being a fair debate on this issue among those schools that heed his call?

And, will those companies that commit various acts of abuse against illegal aliens in their employ conduct such sessions?

As usual, Catholic readers are strongly encouraged to discuss Mahoney's plans with their church leaders and point out all of the things Mahoney effectively supports, as detailed in Cardinal Roger Mahoney admits to exaggerating about HR4437.
