Why are illegal immigrants compared to Americans during the civil rights era?

[Pumas for McCain!]

According to Obama, illegal immigrants are just undocumented people who are like people from the civil rights movement?Obama, sharing his vision of America as welfare state with the annual meeting of the National Council of La Raza, compared last year's massive immigration rallies, led by Hispanics, to the civil-rights marches of African-Americans in the 1960's.To the Harvard-trained lawyer, the illegal immigrants are just"undocumented immigrants"who just haven't had a chance to get the paperwork done.It certainly is new for someone, campaigning for our nation's highest office, to see representation of the millions who are here illegally, as part of those responsibilities. ------
