Human Beings Are Not Contraband!!!!!!

I fully support the rights of immigrant workers. Regardless of whether the states proclaim them "legal" or "illegal".

There are no illegal human beings and all should be granted rights to this land. There is a massive inequality between the movement of capitol and labor. Those that are looking to improve the workings conditions of all laborers need to think globally.

THe illegal immigrant crap is nothing more than a straw man meant to turn labor in on itself. These fartknockers have been pulling this shit for decades!!

Don't allow them to get away with it this time.

3. Last I checked

THIS LAND was STOLEN LAND!!!!!

Then again, the people who we killed for it felt that it was ridiculous to "own land". Our wonderfull founders committed genocide in order to secure ownership. They also treated the natives as human contraband.

Not much difference between that and how we treat mexican immigrants. Let's not forgot how we secured Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

In this day and age, borders are pretty ridiculous. Unless you are of the opinion that wealth should be given a right of passage over people.

8. Rosa Parks brokes the law

Would you put that in the same category?

The laws are not perfect. As a matter of fact, I think we should break more laws in this country!! Mainly the ones that are unjust.

Laws are not handed down by some supreme being. They are made by flawed human beings. This is a big social justice argument and an argument for civil dissobedience.

I hope one day you aren't rounded up for "shouting fire in a crowded theatre".
