As proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens stage nationwide protests and work stoppages, members of the black leadership network Project 21 point out that the movement's comparison of illegal aliens' quest for preferential and expedited citizenship benefits bear no comparison to the hardships endured by African-Americans during the civil rights era.
I'm glad that the black community seems to be onboard with this. Or at least some of it.

It's insulting that illegals are couching their protests as the same as those of civil rights protestors.
Nobody has said that Mexicans, or for that matter people from other countries who come here legally, are not welcome to go through legal channels to become citizens; and thus to be afforded rights as Americans.
