 The television broadcast version adds at least 15 to 20 minutes of footage.  In this footage, Rudy does make it across the border only to be captured by  kidnappers with his friends. He is held for ransom in the house across the  street from his home and is rescued by the border patrol. When he hears that  Dolores will have to be sent back across the border, he marries her and makes  her a citizen. Thats why the priest is behind them in the last shot of the  TV versions.
