Human rights should never be subject to condition of birth. Every person deserves the same respect and opportunity, wherever born.
Today all around the USA, people are sitting in jail for the crime of being born in the wrong place. Though no ill intention, they have run afoul of the god-awful bureaucracy that is the ICE (formerly INS). Built by racist exclusionists through decades of law, this powerful institution enforces a confusing series of hurdles designed to block poor people from becoming legal residents of the USA.
Everybody knows this country’s immigration system is a mess. Now Congress proposes to fix it by making things even tougher for the immigrants. This may be popular with the prison-industrial complex, but to the humanitarians among us it is not acceptable.
People of every color and creed are taking to the streets. Join us! Write Congress, explain things to your neighbors, raise your fist in solidarity and cry out “No borders! No bosses!”
