I would much rather spend the billions of dollars earmarked for the fence to come up with a dependable system to let employers find out who is here illegally, using a fake or stolen social security number and/or identity.
In the long run a vigorous defense of our border and employment system will be good for Mexico. Even though it’s illegal those with some “get up and go” have gotten up and gone from Mexico to America. Mexico will be much better off when those people discover it’s easier and safer to stay there and work to improve their own country.
Over the last fifteen years, Sin Fronteras has worked to develop two different coalitions: the popular coalition and the legislative coalition.
We believed that the popular coalition, which mobilized the undocumented and the Latino community, was necessary to bring the legislative coalition to take and win the maximum gain in this current battle over reform of the law. We also recognized that the struggle does not stop with the passage of a new law, as the Black Liberation struggle did not stop with the passage of the civil rights act, but that the legislative coalition was necessary because our people wanted and needed immediate relief from the attack on their dignity and standard of living.
The popular coalition has made great gains. We have shown that we are not only for protecting the rights of the undocumented but we are struggling for Latinos to become a voice for justice for all of Latin America. We have supported self-determination and opposed assimilation into this nation’s individualistic, imperialistic values. We have taught that our people did not come here because of the American Dream but because of what the
American nightmare did to our countries of origin. We have asserted that our demand to be here and to be fully enfranchised here is a right not a privilige and a destiny of our people to transform this nation.
