Abolish ICE, CBP, and the Whole System that Created Them!

Six Immigrant Bridge Workers – All Members of the Working Class
And as the deaths of these six immigrants remind us, the working class is international. We exist in every nation on earth, and because we don’t own profit producing property, we are forced to work for those who exploit our labor for profit. Despite all our differences, we have far more in common with working people born in other countries than we do with a boss who might have been born in the country we happen to live in. And once we realize that and begin to act on that fundamental fact, then we can begin to use our collective power.
