Draft Resolution 1.0 Legalization or Amnesty?

Millions have taken the streets to march for the rights of indocumentados, and this has not gone unnoticed by the anti-ecumenicalist CP(F) directorate, which, after months of demonstrations, has thought about our positions with due diligence and offers our thoughts on the current stage of the struggles.

Firstly, we are glad to see that our own divisions are mirrored in the wider movements, that of whether it is preferred to fight for legalization or amnesty. With millions of families hanging in the balance, the worry of parents and children of the possibility of separation by deportation, wild labor abuses by the boss class against indocumentados, and increasing violence and vigilante activity against those sin papeles, we are glad that there are some sectors who know that the real, more important fight is over two words. And we are grateful to the bourgeois news media for focusing disproportionate levels of attention on this debate rather than looking at the unity of communities from all around the world, the genuine racism of those who oppose immigrants rights, and the draconian measures within H.R. 4437. Our proudly marginal vanguard was rendered unfunctional in the streets in large part due to this conflict.

And secondly, we are happy to see that there are still leftists, those who claim to support workers rights, but are willing to make exceptions in the case of foreign-born workers. Though they may be few and far between, those leftists who oppose immigrants workers rights prove the contradictory nature of some sectors of the so-called left. We have a tiny sect that has the same view, and we love to trumpet their position despite their relative minisculenessocracy.
