▶ Immigration Advocates Face Serious Challenges in Passing Reform in 2014: ~Pub Jan 20, 2014
====
====
Comment: The whole immigration system has broken down. Many Amerikans are apathetic
zombies. Now the whole detention-deportation process means big bucks for the fascist prison industry. Money corrupts societies at all levels and this widespread corruption is perpetuated by the Amerikan Empire!
Humane Immigration Legislation under the present unjust system would only be a partial solution and leave the same corrupt culprints in charge of it all. We must overthrow this Empire, seize central state power, seize the
wealth of society and redistribute the wealth in equitable ways on a global scale.
Obviously, La Raza aka Latinos need to get activated and involved whether they themselves are U.S. citizens or not. Sadly many of them are among the apathetic sleepy Amerikans who have forgotten their roots and cultural heritage/
We cannot solve a problem if we do not recognize its existence. All applicable tactics must be utilized in our general situation. c/s
