Equal Rights for All Workers! Don't Crimilinalize Immigrants
EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL WORKERS!
DON'T CRIMINALIZE IMMIGRANTS!

May Day originated in the United States when native and immigrant workers united to fight for the 8 hour day. Today we are calling all workers to come together -- not just to fight for survival, but to fight for better lives, and control over our time and our lives.

Corporations reap billions off the backs of working people by pitting immigrant against citizen. At the same time, the government and elite call for strengthening of the Employer Sanctions Provision -- a modern-day slave law -- to create and expand the underclass of labor this law created. They are also pushing guestworker and legalization programs that will legalize a few, while criminalizing many more.

We march to forge unity among immigrant and native born workers, and build a movement to make equal rights for all workers a national priority this year.

Yeah---all white people go back to Europe. NATIVES are the citizens whose rights have been violated; adios blancos.

Legal immigrants and native born US citizens already have equal rights to work. Illegal aliens do not have that right and need to go home or be DEPORTED.
