<\/a><\/p>\n

Uni\u00f3n del Barrio engages in ongoing struggles to resist migra-related violence and repression. When we deal with issues that relate to \u201cBorder Violence & Migration,\u201d the most urgent in our communities are those that relate to immigration\u00a0raids and deportations. Our daily community work must prioritize the defense of our communities from this expanding and generalized repression of \u201craza sin papeles.\u201d Meanwhile, we must also raise consciousness, within our communities and beyond, to make it clear that our work on this issue is not based on a white nationalist presumption of “illegality.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Instead, Uni\u00f3n del Barrio community work should be based on the idea\u00a0that la raza is not \u201cillegal,\u201d but instead suffer as subjects of colonial and imperialist domination that is imposed on us by an illegal settler nation. Furthermore, when debating this issue, we must\u00a0include raza from Central and South America, and hold strong to the idea that we reject any and all governments, laws, national borders, and definitions of citizenship that deny our people the full enjoyment of our human and democratic rights.\u00a0When we include raza from Central and South America, we total more than 50 million people living within the current political borders of the United States.\u00a0In order to free our people from a subjugated life under the permanent threat of raids and deportation, the work of Uni\u00f3n del Barrio within this sector should develop and mobilize higher forms of organization within our communities, because only strong community based organizational capacity will\u00a0ensure the sustainable self-defense and long-term\u00a0well-being of our people.<\/p>\n

We must also identify the puppet sell-out Mexican government as complicit in our oppression. The Mexican government represents the interests of\u00a0a corrupt and murderous narco-state that is in league with the ruling class of the United States. It is a direct beneficiary of mass expulsion of working class Mexicanas and Mexicanos, particularly through the flow of remittances which in 2016 reached $27 billion dollars, which the Mexican government benefitted from without having to do anything to make life better for our people in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Finally, we must strive to overturn the current bourgeois definition of democracy as being limited to electoral procedure (voting). Our democratic rights will only be guaranteed through the organized power of the people, because\u00a0through our organizational power we transcend narrow concepts of citizenship that are built upon, and designed to reinforce\u00a0colonial and imperialist borders.<\/p>\n
