Its overlaps, nothing is black and white, everything is subjective.
I would say it started as a enforcement failure issue and it remains that way but it also recently has become a civil rights issue.

If the law was enforced there would be no ILLEGALS here to complain about anything. So therefore this has nothing to do with civil rights; that is unless you're referring to the civil rights of these people in the country in which they're fleeing from.

Enforcement failure

From the two choices you offer....it is an enforcement failure issue. We just don't have the manpower to stop them from coming in, or the manpower to catch them once they are here and send them back.
The biggest and most helpful change they could make would be to empower local law enforcement to detain illegals for the INS. Right now they cannot do that.

It is a complete and utter failure of the enforcement of legitimate laws of the United States. And guess what American Citizens are complicit in the violation of these laws. I know a lot of conservative red state farmers in East Tennessee who are every day using Illegal Immigrants to stake their tobacco and harvest their tomatoes. They hate 'em on one hand and love 'em on the other.
Really people there is no excuse. Either we stand as a nation to discourage illegal immigration or we simply throw up hands, open the border and put Spanish on everything....ohhhh that's right...we are already doing that.....

An enforcement failure issue..
We can blame the past half dozen or so presidents...
Shameful neglect of their constitutional duties...
Of course, if we sealed the border & sent the illegals back, Mexico would collapse politically & economically within a year or two...

Border control failure issue

enforcement failure. It wwould only be a racial issue if we were to only expel illegal immigrants from a specific race and let the rest stay.

Neither one. It is a violation of the United States Federal Immigration laws and is a federal offense.
Elect me president and I will make sure that each and every one of those illegal 5'1' lazy pot bellied illegals with a Taco in each hand, will be returned from whence they came.

LAW ENFORCEMENT Failure
What civil right could it possibly be.
The right for illegal alien invades to enter another countries borders illegally?.
I say again illegal is not a race
