I’m with McQ, this isn’t about "Civil Rights" or at least the 1960’s concept. Blacks had a right to vote, to serve on juries, to own property, and the like, whites were denying them God-Given rights... Illegal aliens do not have these rights and we are restoring nothing.... there’s nothing to restore. I owe Mikhail or Manuel human decency and Christian charity, no more no less. I don’t owe them citizenship or amnesty or anything else. |

Big surprise for me to say this - it is not a civil rights issue, for all the reasons enumerated, and a nice example to boot.
Speaking of Polish immigrants,
I saw video of Polish flags at a rally today, and really wished someone had gone down to take a picture to see if Jan Kowol was carrying the flag, or Juan Herrero was carrying it, hired because Jan was too ’lazy’ and wouldn’t work for such a low wage. (snark snark) |

The civil rights movement was about some American citizens being treated worse than others. The rallies happening now are about lawbreaking non-citizens wanting to be given the same rights and benefits of those who came to America through the proper immigration channels |

This is a civil rights issue, but the shoe is on the other foot.
This is about the rights of those who are here legally. |

This is one more issue that the Democrat Party is in opposition to the bulk of black voters, the others being school choice and gay marriage rights. Blacks are on the whole often quite conservative socially and when someone brings up civil rights in regards to an area that has nothing to do with it, that tends to annoy blacks I know and read.
Civil Rights are rights granted by law or by our creator, and neither of those apply to citizenship in one country or another. Noone has a right to come to a country illegally, to work outside the system, or to be given citizenship simply because they demand it, are here in great numbers, and are a potentially useful voting bloc. |

If there is downward preassure on wages due to immigration Which group is hurt most? Blacks. And if there is more strain on social services due to unlimited immigration then who is hurt most? Blacks. This is an issue that could cause widepread realignment among Black Americans.
However, we know that wont happen because the Republicans are the stupid party. |

I’m afraid the left is in the process of turning the term "civil rights" into a generic catchphrase basically meaning "something you should give us just because we want it and we’re willing to shame you into giving it".
This is not new. The typical leftist today literally cannot tell you the actual meaning of the word "fascist". To them, it just means "I think you’re mean". They want simultaneously for the word to have its old connotation, vis a vis Hitler, along with the new ability to apply it whenever they want.
Similarly, they want the term "civil rights" to retain its connotations as something that the powers-that-be-white-male-oppressive-establishment won’t give to someone they like. And they simultaneously want to apply it to anything they think their allies should have.
If we can’t get the MSM to vigorously defend the actual meaning of the term, then the left will succeed in this shift in meaning. The average person in ten or twenty years will no longer understand what the term "civil rights" means, but they’ll know the left is labelling somebody as a deserving group, and those who won’t pony up as oppressors. |

I think the greater movement here is one of transnationalism, where national sovereignty and citizenship are bad things to be eliminated.
What better than to define such concepts out of existence?

Another touchy-feely catchphrase that the left has drained of all meaning it might ever have had is ’social justice.’ |

Finally, the first issue to unite black and white since 9/11. Remember, how we all felt like family after the attack?
If african americans and the despicable gringos do not unite on this, we might as well give them California. Hey, now that’s an idea..... |

Even with the bad shape the world’s number 5 economy is in now I would bet that if it went back to Mexico they’d manage to make it worse. I mean, they’ve done so well with Mexico and all. |

Look at it another way
1. The Blacks did NOT have voting rights before the Civil War and they had very limited voting rights before the Civil rights movement. Were the blacks then "Citizens without/with limited voting rights" or were they non-Citizens ??
2. If the Blacks were "Citizens without/limited voting rights", how can they even be termed "Citizens" without having the right to vote ?? Or having their right to vote limited ?
3. If the Blacks were not Citizens, all they did was fight for their "Citizenship", didn’t they ?? If so, isn’t the present situation similar to the Civil Rights Movement ?? |

Ivan ... they weren’t recognized as citizens before the Civil War so they weren’t entitled to voting rights.
After the war when they were Constitutionallly recognized as citizens many of their civil rights, including voting, were still denied by the white majority. That is why they had a ’civil rights’ issue - because voting is a civil right granted to citizens.If so, isn’t the present situation similar to the Civil Rights Movement ?? No. Illegals are not, nor have they ever been, citizens. They don’t enjoy any civil rights since civil rights are only granted to citizens. Hence those without citizenship can’t be deprived of something to which they’re not entitled to begin with.

Essential to any civil right must is that it originate in the law. There can be no civil right to violate the law. Illegal immigration is a criminal offense (though not for a first violation a felony) under 8 United States Code Sec. 1325. Therefore, there can be no civil right to illegal immigraton. A fundamental principle of law is that one cannot profit from wrongdoing. To allow illegal aliens to obtain permanent status or citizenship in preference to anyone who has applied for entry and is on a waiting list would allow the illegal immigrant to profit from wrongdoing.n |

Why don’t you walk through Los Angeles?
Look around. Stop at MacDonalds - only altino
kids. Look at a city crew at work. Do you see
anybody but latinos? Stop at a construction site.
Oh, you see a couple of black guys. What do you
bet they mexicans?
I am not a racist. I am sharing with you my
experience in Los Angeles. Anybody can see this.
The porblem is that it is difficult to compete
with so many illegals. Let us face it, illegals
will work for less. And they keep walking over the
border, and there is no stopping them.
I can see your problem with our president:
he gets two great black guys into his cabinet like no other president on one hand. On the other hand he is not about to close the border.
I would say this: you know how life has been here
for the last 20 years, and you had some control
over it. How will it be if we cannot slow down
the illegals? That is a big question. Or is it?
Stop and think. Is there anything you can do?
Good Luck. Eugene

Being a African-American and knowing the struggle of my people, from day one in the USA. I am absolutely shocked how people refer to ILLEGAL immigration as that of the African-American’s struggle. We were American citizens ILLEGALS aren’t American citizens. We have been in America since the 1600s WE are citizens. We were beaten, enslaved, given unfair treatment. Now, the civil rights was to give us freedom. Many African - Americans fought with peace not violence. A Illegal immigrant has broke the law. Making that a civil crime. Wich would be more like a CIVIL CRIME Movement. I am all for immigration, America will cease to exist without immigration. Just, that Illegal immigration is not what AMERICA needs nor, in the best interest of her people. |
