  • Join us for a live streamed session from the Socialism 2022 conference, in Chicago.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    This session will situate struggles to dismantle detention, deportation and borders within the interconnected movements against everyday criminalization and control, arguing that the fight to abolish borders is integral to abolitionist practices of care, safety, worldmaking, and internationalist liberation. Harsha Walia will be discussing Border and Rule (Haymarket, 2021), with Robin D.G. Kelley as respondent.

    Why does all political theory of this sort just consist of random assertions. “Migrants don’t drive down wages! Bosses do.” Yeah because migrant workers are available … it’s not one or the other, but it’s true that the availability of migrant work drives down the cost of labour, As a fact. If you want some new statutory minimum wage of like $25 go ahead and try to have that enforced across millions of migrants, along with all the other economic consequences of such a high minimum wage.

    Indeed, you might just get stuck in secondary and tertiary interrogation when you advocate for violence. When you call for places of worship to be burned to the ground it does tend to have an impact on your ability to cross international borders. In South America my long hair and backpack were enough provocation to spend 1.5 hours with Interpol. When it comes to "no one is illegal" can you imagine how many hostile foreign governments and criminal organizations would flood Canada with their minions if we lived by the advice of Harsha Walia? Canada benefits greatly from the hard working immigrants who come from all over the globe and who help make us an even greater nation. We spend considerable money bringing refugees to our land not just for their benefit, but for our own. Our lives and economy are enriched when we help our international brothers and sisters. Stop listening to the Fairy Tales of Harsha who speaks love out of one side of her mouth, then promotes violence and arson from the left of her lips.

    Imagine having no border security at all. You’d have dudes trying to take armies of kidnapped children and women across the fuckin border

    Also no one is asking why migrants have to risk their lives over here, we are asking what’s going on in their country and why are they running instead of fighting and then bringing their pride here as if they came from some prosperous land that is reflected in their skin

      Very unfortunate view point. I do not support "no one is illegal". It's insanity. My Irish grandfather came to Canada as a dirt poor indentured servant. He was very proud of his dirt poor nation and time has proven he had every right to be proud of it. Poverty doesn't mean there is nothing of value. I lived in South America. I learned a great deal about being a better human being from my time there. Drop your walls and open your mind. You might meet the best friend of your life in an unexpected place.

    Idk how nobody didn’t sleep for first half of what the the First Lady was saying. Literally giving us a history lesson about a country keeping its borders secure 🙄 assuming everyone that crosses the border is here for good and not escaping the dirty lifestyle they lead in their previous country

    This land wasn’t stolen and I would love to record this bit and send to the DHS. How come when Mexico lost the war they decided to give the United States more land? :( I guess they needed some 💰 to gain some of those loses! But we are the enemy!? 🤣
