If Canadians didn’t accept it because it wasn’t a reasonable deal, why are Americans accepting this as their own fate? It’s not a good deal for you either. America First is actually American 1% Only and F the rest…

As we fight against Trump's murderous "mass deportation" agenda, it is crucial to acknowledge how ever-harsher immigration controls cut across the left-right political spectrum. Anti-migrant politics is part of the structure of nation-states. We need a politics of border abolition.
