Hey U.S. Ruling Class: Stop Forcing Millions of Poor People to Enter the U.S. Illegally and Stop Cruelly Deporting Thousands of Them
It is immoral and cruel to BOTH the illegal immigrants AND to the American working class and it only benefits the rich
The billionaire class is using ICE to make sure that people like the person above are kept out of power.
Cause and Effect:
Cause: “How the US Created Violent Chaos in Honduras“
By Belén Fernández, 2019 (reporting on the U.S. backed coup in Honduras of 2009)
Effect: Watch this 14 minute video about why people in Honduras are fleeing to the United States just in order to survive the violence resulting from the U.S. backed ruling elite in Honduras: “Murder and Migration in Honduras: Immigrant America.“
Hey U.S. ruling class:
Stop doing things south of our border and in Haiti deliberately to force millions of poor people there to have to illegally enter the United States just in order to survive. Here’s the proof that that is exactly what you have been doing for decades, with both of your political parties in office.
It is immoral for you to brutally kick people out of the United States whom you have FORCED to enter it illegally. By calling this brutality “just enforcing the law” you are as immoral as those in 1859 who said they were “just enforcing the law” when they enforced the Fugitive Slave Act by capturing runaway slaves and returning them to their masters (as the U.S. Constitution required, by the way.)
You only get away with this immorality by censoring the true reason why there are so many illegal immigrants today.
Hey U.S. ruling class:
Stop pretending that you didn’t want these illegal immigrants to enter the United States. It is well known that you use these illegal immigrants, especially in the agriculture, hospitality, and construction industries, as super-cheap labor—super-cheap because the fear of being deported makes it near impossible for illegal immigrant workers to wage the kind of strikes that American workers have waged, strikes that it takes to make industries pay decent wages and provide decent working conditions.
You know damn well that the reason why American workers won’t work harvesting crops and so forth—a fact that you love to repeat over and over again—is because (as you never talk about!) you use illegal immigrants whom you force to enter the U.S. illegally to drive down the wages and working conditions in these industries so you can make your obscene profits thereby.
Hey U.S. ruling class:
Stop pretending that the recent cruel and murderous ICE actions are an effort to deport all of the illegal immigrants. BS!
If you really want to deport all the illegal immigrants as you claim then you would be prosecuting the big employers who illegally hire huge numbers of these illegal immigrants; if you did that most of the illegal immigrants would decide to leave the United States on their own. But you do not prosecute these big employers, do you? You thereby make it obvious that the ICE actions don’t really have anything to do with aiming to deport all of the illegal immigrants. The ICE actions have a very different evil purpose: polarizing the population, turning good people against each other with lies in order for YOU to be able to control them.
Hey U.S. ruling class:
Stop using ICE terror to divide-and-rule us, the have-nots. Yes, that is exactly what the ICE terror is all about. Now I’ll spell out exactly how you do it.
You censor the fact that you have been for decades forcing millions of poor people to illegally enter the United States just in order to survive.
You make us wrongly believe that the illegal immigrants are freeloaders—criminal freeloaders—who just happened to decide one day that they’d prefer to live in (sneak in illegally) the United States where the standard of living is high because of centuries of work by us American workers, instead of doing the work themselves in their own countries to raise the standard of living there.
You divert municipal taxes away from things that we Americans deserve and want, and use that money instead to pay for things that the millions of illegal immigrants need.
You cleverly turn about half of us this way against the illegal immigrants and make us think that the deportations are the morally right—anti-freeloader—thing to do.1
You use your liberal media to make about half of us—the half that doesn’t suffer so directly or obviously the harm caused by the huge wave of illegal super-cheap-labor immigrants—oppose the deportations.
You use ICE cruelty and murder to inflame those of us opposed to the deportations with immense anger, to make us view those of us who support the deportations as hateful bigoted fascists, as our enemy.
You work hard to make sure that those of us who support the deportations view the people opposed to the deportations as elitists who have nothing but contempt for working class Americans and their concerns regarding the wave of illegal immigrants. (See footnote #1 again.)
You get half of us have-nots to line up behind your conservative politicians in defense of the deportations, while you get the other half of us have-nots to line up behind your liberal politicians who pretend they’re against the conservative ones but who are in fact IN CAHOOTS with them.
You use your Trump MAGA rallies and your No Kings demonstrations to pit us have-nots against each other, while making sure that YOU, our common enemy, are never exposed at these events as the enemy of ALL the have-nots, and the cause of the huge wave of illegal immigrants.
You are having your Blue State politicians, such as Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis’s Mayor Jacob Frey, ensure that their local police will not prevent (as they could do!) people protesting ICE from being so close to ICE cops that the ICE will kill them. This is how you inflame the anti-ICE camp, on purpose.
You get the pro-ICE camp to go along with the ICE murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti with a specious argument that only seems to hold water because of your censorship of the truth about why there are so many illegal immigrants. You tell the pro-deportation have-nots that people who deliberately interfere with law enforcement officers just trying to do their job of deporting illegal immigrants are knowingly and wrongly placing themselves in harm’s way, regardless of any details about—you know—whether they really did anything to make an ICE cop reasonably believe his life was in danger. You know damn well that if pro-deportation have-nots knew the truth about how the deportations are IMMORAL because it is immoral to deport people whom YOU have FORCED to illegally immigrate, then these pro-deportation have-nots would be anti-deportation and wouldn’t fall for your specious “just doing their job to enforce the law” argument in support of the ICE murderers.
You threaten to escalate this phony conflict that you are orchestrating; you threaten to have your conservative and liberal politicians call in opposing federal versus state military (and police) forces, to make sure that we have-nots get drawn into a violent war against each other.
Breaking News: You demote ICE chief Bovino in order to “fine tune” your orchestrated division of us have-nots against each other. You want to split us as close as possible to right down the middle. But you worry now that ICE terrorism and murder may have gone a bit too far and made the split be too far from the middle, by causing too many people to leave the conservative camp and support the liberal camp, not because they stopped supporting the deportations but simply because they don’t think ICE terror and murder is the proper way to carry out the deportations.
You know damn well that if any of your politicians let the cat out of the bag about how YOU have deliberately forced millions of poor people to illegally enter the United States, then virtually ALL of us have-nots (no matter for whom we voted) would be sympathetic to the illegal immigrants and furious at YOU for forcing millions of them to come here illegally. Your divide-and-rule scheme would fail. This is why you make sure that none of your politicians—not the liberal ones nor the conservative ones—ever EVER tell the truth about WHY there are so many illegal immigrants.
You use your liberal comedians (who know they are on a short leash held by Big $) to make sure that the have-nots opposed to the deportations maximally infuriate the have-nots who support the deportations. Thus Jimmy Kimmel (at time point 9:34 in his monologue here) tells his liberal audience that the reason the deportations are wrong is because, dontcha know, having lots and LOTS of immigrants is wonderful. This way Kimmel gets his liberal fans to ignore—or even be unaware of—the ways that the massive wave of illegal immigrants truly harms working class Americans (as explained in footnote #1):
You do all of this for one horrible immoral reason: to divide-and-rule us have-nots so that you can stay in power over us all and enjoy your obscene wealth and power and privilege at our expense. Neither your conservative nor liberal politicians advocate what virtually ALL of us have-nots really want, which is to remove the rich from power to have real, not fake, democracy with no rich and no poor.
Some of us are on to you. One day enough of us will be on to you to remove you from power, perhaps like this.
Here is why about half of the have-nots support the deportation of all illegal immigrants including those whose only crime was illegally immigrating and nothing else. The reason is this. The high-powered propagandists have persuaded the general public that the reason there is a massive wave of illegal immigrants is because the following view of the illegal immigrants is true:
The illegal immigrants see that we have a good country to live in here in the USA and they live in a country that’s a bad one to live in, and so instead of working to make their own country good they want to just move to and live in the United States and enjoy the fruits of all the labor of Americans that has made our country so good to live in.
In other words, the illegal immigrants want to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor without contributing themselves.
The illegal immigrants are thus essentially freeloaders.
The illegal immigrants, by entering the United States illegally instead of going through the steps to enter legally, are like people who cut in line. They are people who say, “The rules don’t apply to me.”
The illegal immigrants have “anchor babies” to game the system. It’s fraud. Birthright citizenship was meant for babies born to parents who are in the United States legally, not illegally.
The illegal immigrants are just plain bad people even if they don’t break any other law than the immigration law.
And on top of everything else, the illegal immigrants drive down American citizens’ wages and force municipalities to spend scarce money on their needs instead of those of American citizens as described below:
The huge wave of illegal immigrants does in fact harm American working class people cruelly. It does this in two main ways.
First, it forces municipalities to divert tax money from things that citizens need or very understandably want (such as hospitals that are adequately staffed and recreational facilities and vital city utility services) to taking care of the influx of illegal immigrants.
There is a huge added burden on U.S. taxpayers caused by the wave of illegal immigrants, discussed in detail here:
Second of all, because illegal immigrants fear deportation if they do anything to fight for higher wages and better working conditions, they typically provide extremely cheap labor to American employers, thereby forcing American citizen workers to have to compete with this cheap labor and suffer the cruelty of working for very low pay with bad working conditions or not having a job at all in the given industry. Anger at this is not bigotry.
The Myth That It is “Bigotry” When American Citizen Workers Express Anger at Being Forced to Compete Against Lower-Paid Illegal Immigrants
To those who refer to American citizen workers who oppose illegal immigration as “bigots,” one might ask: Who are you referring to as “bigots”?
One might ask this question because the ruling class wrongly portrays working class opposition to illegal immigration as just bigotry. While there are no doubt some working class American citizens who are bigoted against illegal immigrants, this is not the realistic way to understand opposition to illegal immigration. Here’s why.
To start with, Cesar Chavez--the famous organizer of a farm workers union whose members were mainly Hispanic--opposed illegal immigration. Read about this in an ABC NEWS article that reports:
For a significant period of his storied career as a labor organizer, Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration.
He encouraged union members to join “wet lines” along the Arizona-Mexico border to prevent undocumented immigrants from crossing into the U.S. He accused immigration agents at the border of letting in undocumented immigrants to undermine the labor efforts of Latino farmworkers.
If anybody was NOT bigoted against illegal immigrants from Mexico, it was Cesar Chavez! Chavez’s opposition to this illegal immigration had absolutely nothing to do with bigotry; it was opposition to the employers bringing in strike-breakers.
The fact is that there are about 1.1 million illegal immigrants working in construction jobs in the U.S. Read this article about how the residential construction industry in Massachusetts, for example, is based on illegal immigrants--paying them much less than would be paid to American citizen construction workers and forcing the citizen workers to compete for jobs against the lower paid illegal immigrant workers. Citizen construction workers have every right to be angry at this attack on their livelihood.
The point is that the ruling class does in fact use illegal immigrant workers to lower the wages of citizen workers, and not just agricultural workers, and it is not bigotry for citizen workers to express anger at having their wages lowered this way.
The other point on this topic is that the sensible response of citizen workers to illegal immigration is to join with illegal workers in fighting against the ruling class’s practice (both political parties, for many decades) of doing things in Latin and Central America to FORCE people there to have to illegally immigrate to the United States just to survive. Thus Cesar Chavez responded to the problem wrongly. He should have required the illegal immigrants to join the farmworkers union, and only opposed their entry into the United States if they refused to join it.




Had I the power, I would make certain your article was made available to every person, in every country. In their home language, of course. The propaganda surrounding immigration is the same all over the world. Saving this one too. If this were paper, I'd have quite a stack in my file. It must be frustrating knowing what you know at times; watching us struggle and flail with the same antiquated questions, or beliefs. Thank you.
You say " If you really want to deport all the illegal immigrants as you claim then you would be prosecuting the big employers who illegally hire huge numbers of these illegal immigrants; if you did that most of the illegal immigrants would decide to leave the United States on their own. "..... Question: Why would they decide to go back to a place that they decided was not survivable ? You make it seem like a simple .. IF/THEN.... This needs MUCH more said... especially as it is your fundamental conceit for ending ICE. I'm not so sure it would be ..... so if/then....
