The immigrant workers are a part of the U.S. working class. The moral outrage at the separation of families, the unjust deportations, the torture of children, is growing throughout the country. This fight for human rights is part of our overall battle for a world where all people have a right to democracy and a fulfilling life. We are up against a powerful class of billionaires and their corporations who care only about their profits. They intend to impose a dictatorship over us all to secure those profits.
They will succeed only if we let them pit us against each other. That is why today’s groundswell of support for the immigrants is so important. Our unity is the key to victory.
