Resolution
in support of undocumented workers
in the United States
We want to extend our solidarity and congratulations to all the organizers of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came out on the streets, from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, to Phoenix and Tuscon? to New York City and Washington DC and many other cities throughout the United States on May Day to demand full rights, an end to raids and deportations and a better life.
We also want to demand an end to the vilification of over 12 million undocumented workers in the United States who are being demonized in a constant barrage of racist attacks by right wing politicians and the big business media. Thousands of undocumented workers are being rounded up in factory raids every month by Bush´s racist, repressive Department of Homeland Security and carted off to concentration camps in the southwest of the United States. Families are being torn apart and lives and futures are being destroyed by this heartless persecution.
We recognize that the millions of undocumented workers, from Mexico to El Salvador, to the Philippines -- from Asia, Africa and the Middle East -- have been driven to leave their native lands, their cultures and their families because their countries have been impoverished by the imperialist economic invasion by the giant multinational corporations and banks and the IMF, headed by the U.S. Having come to the United States, they have every right to stay here with full rights.
END THE RAIDS AND DEPORTATIONS
FULL RIGHTS FOR UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES
THERE ARE NO BORDERS IN THE WORKERS´ STRUGGLE
