Why is illegal immigration being twisted into a civil rights issue when it's actually an economic issue?
Answer:
People are making it race issue when it is a" breaking the law" issue. No one wants to believe it's an economical issue because they refuse to believe we are paying for the illegals.
It is both, and more!
I don't know...I understand what you are saying. It shouldn't even be an issue..it's illegal plain and simple; the law is the law.
Because it involves human beings, often poor, non white ones, and their emotions. It's not just mass quantities of economic units and their impact on the bottom line. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying; of course it's a civil rights issue, it always, always is a civil rights issue when it involves non-white, poor people.
It is a legal issue plain and simple. Laws are being broken by illegals and the employers that hire them. Enforce the law and the economic issues will take care of themselves.
Civil rights and immigration are closely tied and they ultimately lead to economics.
Cause the ones twisting the issue do not know the REAL intention of the Sonnet on the Stature of Liberty.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty was erected in 1886, when world population was little more than one billion and the U.S. population was 60 million. Many do not realize that the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S. from France, with the title, "Liberty Enlightening the World". The statue and its symbolism had nothing to do with immigration, but rather hope that the rest of the world would adopt Democracy. The Emma Lazurus plaque (it is not chiseled in the base), "send me your huddled masses" was added ten years later during the immigration peak of that age.
The sonnet, "New Colossus", was written by Emma Lazarus in 1883 as part of a literary campaign to raise funds for the completion of the Statue's pedestal. Not much attention was paid to it until the tide of immigration surged at the turn of the century. Proceeds that were raised from its auction were used to complete the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. This plaque memorialized the sonnet in 1903 and was placed on the inner wall of the Statue's pedestal. It currently is displayed inside the Statue of Liberty museum.
Since then, U.S. population has expanded by 4 1/2 times. The U.S. is the world's highest-consuming (and most wasteful) nation, and is no longer in need of settlement.

Because the spin doctors have been busy.
Its all that and more my friend. Until the US citizens realize the tragic consequences and contributions these ppl have on our economy, society, etc. then can we actually do soemthing about immigration reform until then congress will just blow smoke up our @**es like they have been!
It's a legal issue that has become a civil rights issue and has caused great economic impact on our nation. The illegals have no rights other than basic human rights, they've put our health care and schools and our public assistance agencies at a great risk as well causing our citizens left to foot the bill for these illegal people who are residing in our nation illegally;should be deported ASAP. Therefore eliminating all other problems and conflicts that they have created by their presence in our country.
