Campaign against Immigration Controls
The well-known slogan “Workers of the world unite” means what it says.
It does not mean “Only workers with the correct immigration status unite”
Over the last three decades trade unionists have made a tremendous move
forward in fighting racism. It is now seen as legitimate activity to support those
under threat of deportation. However the trade union movement has not yet
seen the necessity of fighting immigration controls as a whole. But controls are
deliberately calculated to weaken the labour movement itself.
