THIS ARTICLE IS LENGTHY BUT WELL WORTH THE READ. (What it says to me is that all of us may be called upon to help immigrant workers defend themselves and we should start thinking it now.) This article is by writer Juan Santos and can be found at Counterpunch.org.
ON WHY VOTING WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS
"The "compromise" already accepted by the Democrats includes mass deportations of up to several million people, the indefinite detention of migrants without due process, the treatment of minor offenses as "aggravated felonies" which would trigger harsh mandatory detention and deportation, and of course, unleashing the police as migrant hunters in a program of daily terror against our communities."
ABOUT FLYING THE US FLAG AT DEMOS:
"Flying the US flag means we don't understand the ruthless nature of our enemies; it means a basic and unconscious allegiance to the idea of getting ahead and doing so on the backs of others, an unconscious allegiance to and imitation of the very foundations of the oppressor's outlook and his control of us, and an implicit acceptance of his colonial rule over stolen land and subjugated peoples."
"Our enemies want to split our allegiances, they want us to grasp at individual chances for "acceptance" and "freedom," and to ignore the well being of our people as a whole. That, after all, is the real "American Dream" private wealth and well being on the backs of other, subjugated peoples."
SIRATYST (Stuff I Read and Thought You Should Too) -- “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.” (Calgacus, as quoted by Tacitus, Agricola 30-31)"
