Immigrant Struggles

excerpt from NPR's This American Life

it's absolutely unfair how immigrants are repressed. listen to this girl's struggle with college and tuition. well qualified students are unable to apply for jobs after they graduate college.

if this is not a form of caste system, i'm not sure what is.

Liberals who support illegal immigrants are unknowingly siding with greedy U.S. corporations. Why? Because illegal immigration is about one thing --> more corporate profits via lower labor costs.

WHO WINS? Greedy companies AND illegal workers (earning FAR more than in Mexico).

WHO LOSES? The U.S. labor class (U.S. proletariat) via job losses to illegal workers & depressed wages.

Thus 120 years of U.S. wage struggles fought for since the Haymarket Rebellion of 1886 are being undermined.

this is a very insightful comment... there are many liberal misconceptions, and undoubtedly illegal immigration falls under that category, but at least their hearts are in the right place.

this video, however, is not about migration policy, but is about how we treat the immigrants who are already here. it's not idealistic to ask for reform regarding immigrants and education. our current system is nativist.

I talk to a lot of liberal immigration activists and I suggest to them they should be telling the migrants to return to Mexico and join EZLN and Marcos and fight for revolution in Mexico... it's long overdue; EZLN really needs more people. The Mexican gov't is so corrupt it makes our gov't look honest. The Mexican govt encourages their poor to come to the USA because they know if they didn't, revolutionary forces in Mexico could grow & threaten the power grip of the oligarchy that runs Mexico.
