Civil Rights was about American citizens. Apples and oranges.

Apparently you missed my point. My point was about doing the right thing. Also we have already established that American citizens are getting caught up in this.

No, I understood your point perfectly: I just disagreed with it, because you blurred a real and important distinction. I thought that was obvious but since it wasn't, thanks for the opportunity to offer this needed clarification.

We'll agree to disagree. I don't think that distinction is relevant, especially when legal immigrants and citizens are getting caught up in it. And I would further point out that my original comment was not made in a vacuum--it was specifically referring to whether Democrats should drop all immigration related issues because they are not popular, just for the sake of winning the next election.
