well at least according to AG Holder
yes the premise that amnesty is a civil right is laughable but what really piqued my interest is this notion that illegals are someh9ow 'living in the shadows'.
Holder from a speech to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund:
I know that once upon a time in America illegals DID in fact live in the shadows because at that time, it was still treated by the government as being illegal.
I can't know how it is where you live but around here they are no more in the shadows than I am.
Why ? Because our government has generally chosen to view these criminals as not criminals.
This may end soon as its been ruled in court that they may not choose to do this but we'll have to see how this pans out. the administration has a habit of ignoring orders they dont care for.

Holder from a speech to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund:
"Creating a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country is essential. The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented – by creating a mechanism for them to earn citizenship and move out of the shadows – transcends the issue of immigration status. This is a matter of civil and human rights. It is about who we are as a nation. And it goes to the core of our treasured American principle of equal opportunity."
