March 8, 2016 Kelly Hayes, www.truth-out.org Uncategorized Black and Brown Unity, Chicago, Immigrant Rights, Immigration, Solidarity

By Kelly Hayes for Truthout - With issues of mass incarceration and deportation hanging heavy over the current presidential race, both Black Lives Matter activists and immigration rights activists have had a great deal to say about the policies and commentaries of each potential commander in chief. But while hashtags like #SuperTuesday go viral and problematic award shows drag up questions about Black and Brown solidarity, some young people are forging ahead on the front lines, arm-in-arm with those whose issues many would divide from their own.

A Nation Too Stupid To Transform Itself With Its Immigrants?

February 29, 2016 David Swanson, www.davidswanson.org Educate! Immigrant Rights, Immigration, Refugees, United States

By David Swanson for Let's Try Democracy - The millions of people in the United States who are denied equal rights because they are immigrants have vast stockpiles of wisdom and rich culture to share; they engage in more strategic and courageous activism than do non-immigrants; and without any doubt they would vote better than do the "legal" people of South Carolina if only they were permitted to vote. The mistreatment of these people shortchanges every U.S. enterprise and reduces civil rights, paychecks, public safety, sense of community, and basic levels of morality for everyone.

By Ashoka Jegroo for Waging Nonviolence - Thousands of left-wing and anti-fascist activists participated in multiple protests on Jan. 29 against a far-right gathering taking place in the center of Vienna, Austria. “This is a very important meeting for the European far-right and neo-Nazi elite,” one protester told the BBC. “For example, there are participants from PEGIDA, from the National Front in France, from the Finnish True Finns Party.” The demonstrations were in protest against the Wiener Akademikerball, or the Viennese Academics Ball.

By Staff of Reuters - COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark's parliament passed measures on Tuesday aimed at deterring refugees from seeking asylum, including confiscating valuables to pay for their stay, despite protests from international human rights organizations.

But a nearly eight-mile stretch of land separating the two countries was previously lined with mine fields and is now separated by a fence.

Immigrant Advocates Take Action Following Deportation Raids In South

January 20, 2016 Staff, www.southernstudies.org Resist! Deportations, ICE, Immigration, United States

By Staff of the Institute for Southern Studies - The first week of the new year brought hope and cheer for some. But for many Southern immigrant communities, it brought fear. News of the Department of Homeland Security's plans to conduct immigrant deportation raids at the outset of 2016 circulated just before the Christmas holiday, and the first raids got underway this past weekend. They are part of the Obama administration's efforts to stem a wave of women and children who have arrived in the U.S. since 2014, many fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and other Latin American countries.

This Is The Age Of Dissent – Much More To Come

January 15, 2016 David J. Bailey, www.theconversation.com Resist! Austerity, Environment, Housing, Immigration, Protests, Racism, Students, Wages

By David J. Bailey for The Conversation - The year 2011 is widely viewed as the peak of protest and dissent in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the austerity agenda that followed it. It was the year of the Arab Spring, Occupy, UK Uncut, indignados, urban riots and anti-austerity and tuition fee protests – and in which Time magazine famously named “The Protester” as its person of the year. Yet in the UK, protests continue to occur at a rate rarely seen prior to the global economic crisis in 2008. Indeed, 2015 seems to have confirmed the suggestion, made at the beginning of the year, that 2011 was “really only just the beginning”.

Stop The Raids, End The Violence

January 13, 2016 Staff, www.cispes.org Educate! Deportation, Immigrant Rights, Immigration, Neoliberalism, Violence

By Staff of CISPES - Over the last few days, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been rounding up and deporting dozens of members of Central American families seeking refuge from extreme violence and dire economic conditions in their communities of origin. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has described the move as part of an effort to “secure” the U.S. border and has announced that “additional enforcement operations such as these will continue to occur as appropriate.” These raids are the latest chapter of what can only be described as a prolonged U.S. government war on migrant families, and specifically those coming from the most dangerous and economically deprived parts of Central America.

Obama Targets Immigrant Families In Raids

January 7, 2016 Hassan Ahmad, www.counterpunch.org Educate! Deportation, Immigration

By Hassan Ahmad for Counter Punch - The Department of Homeland Security has begun launching raids against undocumented immigrants with recent orders of deportation. This reversal of prioritization shifts DHS’s focus to those who pose the least threat. The planned raids won’t focus on people with criminal backgrounds, or those who are threats to national security. Instead, they’ll be targeting families fleeing horrifically violent conditions in Central America – people who had no choice but to run.

January 4, 2016 Staff, www.notonemoredeportation.com Educate! Immigration, Undocumented, United States

By Staff of Not One More - The raids that DHS announced days before Christmas seem to have started in the Atlanta area on January 2nd. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents barged into homes, even when asked for warrants at the door, removing mothers and children as young as 4 years old. By mid-day the phone at the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights (GLAHR) was ringing regularly as families and neighbors reported ICE activity and sought support for loved ones taken away. Adelina Nicholls, executive director of GLAHR who is now handling 5 cases (that appear to be already transferred to a South Texas facility) explains, “When Trump is taking credit for your immigration policy, you know you’re doing it wrong.

Negroes Need Not Apply: The EU-Africa Malta Conference

December 9, 2015 Marsha Cole, www.blackagendareport.com Educate! Africa, Europe, Immigration

By Marsha Cole for Black Agenda Report - On November 12th, European and African countries met on the beautiful Mediterranean Island of Malta in the city of Valletta to determine the fate of African refugees seeking sanctuary in Europe. The Valletta meeting was devoid of the usual diplomatic niceties and perfunctory lip service that usually accompanies this kind of event. No one bothered to give lip service to the “give me your poor, your huddled masses longing to be free” propaganda. The topic was African refugees and the challenges facing global capital; the subject precluded such diplomatic nonsense.

TPP And The Other Jobs Problem: Insourcing Of Jobs

November 21, 2015 Metamars, www.correntewire.com Educate! Immigration, TPP

By Metamars for Corrente - Yours truly has been writing about the threat posed by unlimited IN-sourcing via the TPP, while complaining, out loud, about how the anti-TPP 'activists', no matter how often they mentioned increased/easier OUT-sourcing, were curiously silent about the IN-sourcing threat. IMO, OUT-sourcing is largely already played out - how many US companies are there that didn't want to take advantage of lower labor rates in China, e.g., that didn't already take advantage of same 10 years ago, could there possibly be??? Yours truly also wrote a diary about Japanese Shinzo Abe blabbing about the EU style "free flow of labor", while he was in the US last summer, when Obama was trying to get TPP finalized.
