First year medical students at UCLA's medical school were allegedly assigned readings from activists and educators calling for the abolition of borders, according to a medical transparency group.
Do No Harm said the readings were assigned in the required course, "Structural Racism and Health Equity." Copies of the documents were shared with National Review on Thursday.
In one reading from a scholarly paper entitled, "Beyond border health: Infrastructural violence and the health of border abolition," the authors call for a "no borders system that privileges liberatory solidarity with migrants."
The authors blame health disparities among migrants on border enforcement and call for abolition of borders as a "medical intervention" to solve this problem.
"To undo rather than to mitigate the effects of existing infrastructure, border health advocates must broaden their gaze to embrace a framework that is global, shaken free from the constraints imposed by violent borders and traditional professional practice. Rather than acquiesce to the idea of borders as fixed and thus focus interventions on mitigating their harms, we must think about the medical necessity for abolition," they argue.
Another required reading directs students to a 2021 interview in The Guardian with Canadian immigration activist Harsha Walia, who also calls for the abolition of borders.
As in the first reading, Walia says mass migration is due to factors like colonialism and U.S. imperialism. She argues that there is no "border crisis" in the United States or anywhere else.
"Instead, there are the ‘actual crises’ that drive mass migration – such as capitalism, war and the climate emergency..”

Why blame and wish ill on the students? They are forced to attend this crap.
Illegal aliens murder people.
That creates more cadavers for the med students to study.
They have a conflict of interest here.
Lol.
Send in a bus caravan!
Yup.
Who shoots at firefighters during a riot when their own neighborhood is burning down?
Is this the same medical school that accepts students based on ‘Kolor, Kink or Kin (NEPO babies?) In a few years they’ll be sued for malpractice - putting unqualified ‘doctors’ out there to prey on the innocent.
.....a poor excuse for a medical school.....all woke up,
putting unqualified ‘doctors’ out there to prey on the innocent.......
Sane Universities and colleges are going back to choosing students based on MERIT and that system will include plenty of people of all races. It’ll include them based on sane choices rather than ‘Kolor, Kink, Politics or Kin (NEPO babies)
It’ll be a safer world for all of us - including people in need of medical care.
People who annoy you…
What relevance or necessity is for this in medical school?
Exactly.
Wonder what Harsha Walia would think/react if a group of poor whites from WV/KY were to break into her residence and demand that she take care of them and their families? How loudly would she screech for the police if such were to happen?
Hypocrite.
Donate and then fly in the Mds, RNs, pharmd’s and other medical people to care for those in other countries.
