Over 12 million people in the US are undocumented. Calls for tighter border controls are chiefly about increasing the pressure on these vulnerable workers in order to exploit them more aggressively. What's at stake is how much violence they face, not whether the economy can do without them.
Capitalists have no intention of paying a cent more for labor. The function of political posturing about the "border crisis" is to distract us from capitalist profiteering and to create a rationale for more state violence that will target more and more of us, not just the undocumented.
The solution to our problems is not xenophobia. It is solidarity across the lines of citizenship and privilege. If we do not stand up for the humanity of those who are excluded and oppressed today, we will find ourselves on the wrong side of the walls of tomorrow.

Yesterday, during a protest against Argentina's new "anarcho"-capitalist president in front of the congress building in Buenos Aires, we saw one police officer wearing a "don't tread on me" insignia in imitation of fascists in the United States.
There's no such thing as "anarcho-capitalism." Anarchists are opposed to the state; "anarcho"-capitalists are just capitalists who oppose state regulation of the economy when it is inconvenient for them, but support and depend on the violence of the state.
Solidarity with those in Argentina fighting against capitalism, fascism, police, the state, and so-called "anarcho"-capitalists.

Today, the billionaire Sebastián Piñera died in a helicopter crash. His policies while president of Chile contributed to the desperation that ultimately provoked the uprising of 2019.
As Milton Friedman said, “There’s no such thing as a free helicopter ride!”

"Free helicopter rides" has been a meme among fascists inspired by the extrajudicial murders of leftists that the Argentine and Chilean governments carried out.
The personal helicopter pilot of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet openly admitted that he threw prisoners into the ocean from his helicopter. As head of state, Sebastián Piñera inherited and perpetuated Pinochet's legacy, forcing capitalism on the Chilean population despite brave and widespread resistance.

Ex piloto de Pinochet reconoció que lanzó cuerpos al mar
El teniente coronel retirado Oregier Benavente dijo que en 1976 Antonio Palomo le confesó que "varias veces le tocó lanzar a prisioneros al mar, y lo otro que me dijo fue que si no los lanzamos al mar lo hicimos a las altas cumbres" de la cordillera de Los…

Does the movement to #StopCopCity represent a reproducible strategy by which to halt the expansion of the police-industrial complex?
We review some of the other struggles against police militarization facilities around the United States—present a report from a protest on February 5 that interrupted the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a police facility in Lacey, Washington—and share an incomplete list of other such proposed facilities around the country.

Tonight, our thoughts are with the students in Greece, who will converge on Athens tomorrow for a mass mobilization against the privatization of universities and police violence against the student movement.
The institutions of capitalism, the state, and the police are inherently antithetical to the spirit of free inquiry that is the foundation of education itself.

That Sebastián Piñera should die in a helicopter is a case of unsurpassable poetic justice. Our comrades in Chile offer a statement on this historic occasion.
