Nothing like the civil rights had happened before it.

Of course undocumented immigrants are not being lynched, but the level of opposition for parity (i.e., legalization) is very strong in the red states, just as the level for parity between black and whites was back then. Of course we are here without authorization whether we like it or not, and for us Dreamers that was not a decision we did, just as being born black is not a decision children do. And yet, we are being punished for it, not physically punished like in the 60's, but nonetheless punished. Just because it's not physical doesn't mean it doesn't affect people as much.
