The demonstrations in Montgomery Alabama after the Rosa Parks incident in 1955 that you refer to were laws that were inacted against AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION deserved the rights they were being denied. ILLIGAL ALIENS do not have these rights and so the example you use does not apply. Many have tried to use the civil right movements to justify their actions and to be honest many find it an insult.

One that quickly comes to mind is the demonstrations in Montgomery Alabama after the Rosa Parks incident in 1955. Rosa Parks broke the law, and the demonstrators wanted amnesty for her as well as a change in the law.

The goals of the demonstrators on May 1st is rather similar. They want Amnesty for all those who have broken this law, and they want a change in the law as well.
