CPUSA is one of the leading members of the United For Peace and Justice Coliation, which is backing the immigrant/Antiwar rallies on Apr 29th and May 1st.
Also, World Can't Wait and International ANSWER are backing the rallies on Apr 29th and May 1st.

They also control the Democratic Party, too. I don't see a dime's worth of difference between a Communist and a Democrat.
Here's more CPUSA lobbying B.S.

Below are important sample materials that can help move the struggle for immigrant rights forward. The Senate debate is expected in February. Many grass roots organizations are beginning to move. As mentioned in earlier memos we urge the Districts, clubs, activists to raise the issues with their Senators and especially any that are members of the Judiciary Committee. The materials can be adapted to your local situation by coalitions or grass roots groups and/or used by clubs as they are. (PDF versions of flyer and petition are attached.)

Defeat Anti-Immigrant HR 4437: A Statement by the Communist Party, USA
Last December, the House of Representatives passed anti-immigrant HR 4437, introduced by GOP Rep. James Sensenbrenner (Wis.).
• It would make all undocumented workers felons, as well as those who help or work with them including teachers, clergy, union leaders, social workers and family members.
• Employers would have to check the Social Security numbers of all their employees.
• An environmentally destructive wall would be built along the Mexican border.
• Local and state police would be deputized to arrest anyone they think may be without documents. This would vastly increase racial profiling and scare immigrants away from reporting crimes.
This is no solution! It is another way of diminishing the democratic rights of the people in our country. HR 4437 must be defeated in the Senate. Just and workable immigration reform should be passed instead.
What are the reasons for immigration?
Increased immigration is the result of the declining living standards and job displacement caused by NAFTA and other pro-big-business policies pushed by our government. To provide a better future for their families, immigrants are pushed and pulled to come here, at great cost and risk, to live without papers and suffer great indignities. This puts immigrant workers in a vulnerable position and forces them into substandard wages and working conditions. Employers and others use the immigrants’ vulnerability as a lever to lower living standards and quality of life for all.
Don’t buy the big lie.
Immigrants are accused of causing every social problem, and especially of taking jobs and services they are not entitled to. This is not true.
Working people as a whole, including immigrants, pay a larger share of the tax burden than the rich and receive fewer benefits. The profits made from the work of immigrants and all workers are being taxed less and less and sometimes not at all.
Immigrants don’t fire or hire people. They do not outsource jobs, downsize workplaces, raise prices or premiums. They are victims of big business too. For more jobs and services, we need to tax exploitative profits!
We need positive immigration reform.
History shows that as long as extremes of inequality exist between countries, labor migration will continue. The pro-corporate policies of our government that impoverish other nations must be changed. Immigration law should protect the interests of both immigrant and non-immigrant workers.
Organized labor and community and religious groups urge the following constructive program for immigration reform:
• Legalization with a clear path to citizenship must be allowed for existing undocumented immigrants, and future immigrants, with a priority on family reunification.
• Immigrants must be able to participate in labor, religious, civic and cultural activities without fear of deportation.
• “Guest worker” programs have historically been prone to exploitation. Separate has never been equal. Instead, implement improved labor protections and stronger enforcement for immigrants and citizen workers.
Repressive policies like those proposed in HR 4437 must be rejected. They are unjust and counterproductive, and make immigrant workers more vulnerable to exploitation and other injustices.
Immigration policy is scheduled for debate in the Senate in February. Contact and urge your senators today to reject HR 4437 and all repressive anti-immigrant measures, and to vote for legalization of immigrants with a clear path to citizenship and full labor and civil rights for all people. Call the congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121.
Derrote Contra-Inmigrante HR 4437: Una Declaración del Partido Comunista, EEUU
En Diciembre del ano pasado, La Casa de representativos aprobaron una Propuesta en contra los inmigrantes llamado HR 4437, introducido por Congresista Republicano James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin).
• Calificaría de criminal todos los trabajadores indocumentados y también todas las personas que los ayudan o trabajan con ellos, por ejemplo maestros, trabajadores religiosos, lideres de sindicatos, trabajadores sociales y familiares.
• Empleadores tendrían que examinar las cartas de Seguridad Social de todos los empleados.
• Una Pared que pone en peligro el medio ambiente, seria construida a lo largo de toda la frontera con México.
• Policía local y estatal serian obligados arrestar personas que ellos piensan que no tiene documentos. Esto incrementaría tremendamente trato perjudicial racial, y prevendría denuncia de crímenes de parte de inmigrantes.
Esto no es una solución. Desminuiría los derechos democráticos de la gente de nuestro país. Se debe derrotar HR 4437 en el Senado. Reforma justa y factible es necesario en lugar de HR 4437.
Cuales son las causas de la inmigración?
Inmigración ha incrementado como resultado de condiciones de vida declinando a causa de NAFTA y otra política a favor de las grandes corporaciones favorecidos por nuestro gobierno. Para sostener sus familias, inmigrantes están empujados y jalados a venir aquí a costo grande y con mucho riesgo, viviendo sin papeles y sufriendo grandes indignidades. Esto pone a los inmigrantes en una posición muy vulnerable con sueldos bajos y mal condiciones de trabajo. Empleadores y otras usan esta vulnerabilidad como un modo de bajar la calidad y nivel de vida para todos.
No traigan la mentira grande!
Los inmigrantes son acusado de causar todos los problemas sociales y particularmente de tomar trabajo y servicios que no merecen. No es la verdad. Trabajadores en general, incluyendo los inmigrantes pagan un porcentaje mas mayor de impuestos de lo que pagan los ricos y reciben menos beneficios que ellos. El provecho producido por el trabajo de los inmigrantes y todos trabajadores están aumentando menos y menos impuestos y a veces ningún impuestos.
Inmigrantes no desemplean ni contratan. No externalizar trabajos, desminuir lugares de trabajo, aumentan precios ni premios. Son victimas de gran comercio también. Para más trabajos y servicios, necesitamos poner impuestos a los lucros.
Necesitamos reforma positiva inmigratoria.
La historia ha demostrado que cuando hay inequidad entre países inmigración laboral continuara. La política corporativa de nuestro gobierno que hacen mas pobre otros países se debe cambiar. Las leyes de inmigración deben proteger ambos inmigrantes y trabadores no inmigrantes.
Sindicatos, comunidades y grupos religiosos urgen la siguiente programa constructiva para inmigración reformada:
• Legislación con posibilidad clara de ciudadanía debe ser posible para los inmigrantes indocumentados que están aquí ahora y para inmigrantes futuras con prioridad para reunificación familiar.
• Inmigrantes deben tener posibilidad de participar en uniones, actividades religiosas, civiles y culturales sin temor de deportación.
• Programas de bracero (“guest worker”) históricamente han resultado en explotación. “Separado pero iguales” nunca han sido iguales. En vez de eso, mejor implementar condiciones mejores y hacer respetar la ley para inmigrantes y ciudadanos.
Políticas represivos como la propuesta HR 4437 debe ser rechazado. Son injustas y contra-productivas y hacen aun mas a los inmigrantes a explotación y otras injusticias.
La política inmigratoria están programada para debate en el Senado en Febrero. Hagan contacto con sus senadores hoy urgiendo rechazo de HR 4437 y de todos las medidas contra-inmigratoria y represivas y que voten a legalizar los inmigrantes con clara posibilidad de ciudadanía y derechos civiles y laborales plenos para todas las personas. La oficina central del congreso es: (202-224-3121).
Petition:
US Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of (insert State here)
We call on you to reject the anti-immigrant repressive measures in HR 4437 and other bills that criminalize immigrants and the citizens who help and work with them.
We urge support for a comprehensive solution that continues our democratic traditions of welcoming immigrants that provides a path to citizenship, protects workers’ rights, reunites families, is applied with due process, and promotes civic education and participation with support to local communities.
>>>>This educational has the goal of upgrading our understanding of the struggle for immigrant rights....
Does this mean the cpusa has received some type of grant funding from the NEA?
Birds of a feather flock together.
I understand the birds of a feather...
But that would be a timely grant to prove.
bttt
Well of course it is. Why else would these parasites choose May 1st?
Their garbage hasn't changed in substance for the past 30 years. What a bunch of useless has-beens! Will they ever just shut up?
Exactly... and fully endorsed by the DNC.
That's just a few of the organizations they influence. They certainly must be busy since they only have 15 members or so? Their rhetoric makes me absolutely sick!
BUMP!
Having studied educational theory at a state teacher's college, I can tell you the psychologists whose works are gospel all were Reds: Maslow,Piaget,etc.
Just look them up at Marxists.org.
The Communists perfected the tactic of the "united front" years ago that uses a few of those buggers who train others and so forth. They use force multiplication and radicalization of liberal groups to get their way. It goes back to Earl Browder in the 1930s who got his marching orders from the late Georgi Dimitrov, the then heard of Comintern.

Yeah, I waded through this dank piece of sludge... and I found this nugget about the trend for humanity in general under the regieme of evil capitalism.
"...impoverishment is the main trend. Upward mobility is the exception for the people..."
My great-great-grandfather was living in a hut with a dirt floor. My wife's great-great-grandfather was living as a peasant in a farm without running water and electricity. Needless to say, we are living like royalty compared to them - and we're just ordinary folks in our town.
The Communists are totally delusional. Not that I needed proof, but it's certainly jarring to read something so clearly and totally wrong.
They prey upon the desperate and weak-minded. They're vultures.
