shyt, I am an economics major and this connection between illegal immigration and "the civil rights of African-Americans" is a load of horseshyt you feed to one of two people:
The "I'm smarter and more conscious of the world" Negro, who likes to say "its us against them" without actually putting any emphasis toward the reasoning behind capitalist subjugation of Black and Brown labour power.
or
The "I share the same views as your average White supremacist" Negro who isn't altogether all that bright, and dislikes Mexicans because FoxNews told him/her to, but thinks that they're pro-Black because they play basketball at the juvenile detention center once a year and read the Autobiography of Malcolm X like two decades ago.
