There is No Such Thing as Illegal Immigration!

There is no such thing as illegal immigration!!

The above mentioned articles discuss two Latino soldiers who have wives that are being threatened with deportation. I picked these two situations as a launch pad to discuss “illegal” immigration as a whole. The contradiction of deporting a soldier’s wife while he is a way in Iraq is clear. What may not be so clear is why situations like these occur in the first place. The government, working with the media, has tried to box the conversation of immigration into two opposing factions. On one side you have those that are for more comprehensive laws in regard to immigration and on the other side you have those that are against easier immigration law and wish to tighten the laws we currently have in an effort to decrease the influx of immigrants, both “legal” and “illegal”. I believe this boxing of the argument into two opposing factions is ridiculous, and supports the white power structure of superiority.

If you support the more comprehensive law side of the debate you fall victim to the American capitalistic machine that is attempting to exploit the labor of immigrants. This philosophy will create another stratosphere of second class citizenship, parallel to other catastrophic exploitations of labor (ex Chinese immigrants and the railroad system, http://cprr.org/Museum/Chinese.html). Brown and Black faces (depending on your coast, east or west) make up the majority of this alleged immigration problem, consequently, supporting white powers attempt to continue to oppress the colored faces of the world. If you fall on the other side of this alleged debate, you find yourself supporting the white power structure’s attempt to keep America as white as possible. We need to understand clearly that both sides of the arguments support the white power structure by failing to recognize the fundamental situation that exists in regard to immigration. That fundamental contradiction lies in the question how the did these borders, which constitute illegal immigration, come to be in the first place!!

Without getting into a civics lesson about what makes the nation or state, there are a few issues that are important to the conversation, as it pertains to the issue of immigration. The nation or state needs four critical components: population, government, sovereignty, and territory. These four components are the building blocks of what makes a nation. Immigration, in any capacity, has the potential to destabilize one or more of the components necessary for the nation to exist. Immigration, legal or illegal, can destabilize a nation’s ability to exist by exerting external pressures on a government’s infrastructure, in the case of this nation the infrastructure of white power. In regard to both sides of the debate, one side wishes to control the influx, while the other wishes to cut it off completely.

Each period of American history where immigration has been a topic, there has been opposing views, all of which were in favor of supporting the system as a whole, regardless of which end of the discussion you landed. The current debate around immigration is the same as it has been historically, both views ultimately support the white power struggle designed to oppress the rest of the world. The white power structure has mastered the art of manipulation so well that it has convinced most people to pick a side and ride with it. Unbeknownst to that individual, both positions support a system that ultimately is oppressing the individual who has taken a position.

America has had six major periods of immigration. Four of these major waves of immigration pertain primarily to Europeans and the other two primarily pertain to people of color. The first European immigration wave began in what is now the United States with the colonists of the 1600's and reached its peak just before the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775. The second European major flow of immigrants (many from Asia also immigrated during this time) started in the 1820's and lasted until a depression in the early 1870's. The greatest in pouring of Europeans took place from the 1880's to the early 1920's. A fourth and wave began in 1965 because of changes in U. S. Immigration laws, making it easier for individuals from European and other countries that were being forced to live behind the imaginary iron curtain of communism.

Each of these periods of immigration was celebrated during the time by the masses of white people in this country. It was primarily celebrated because it would help ease some of the labor issues of the time. The Industrialization of America created one of the largest needs of labor in the history of the world. There where however pockets of whites, that protested these periods of immigration based on the influx of people not being "white" enough, and not having a Protestant background. Irish, Polish, Albanian and other white ethnic groups were met with this struggle initially, but, within a generation, this debate eased with the assimilation of the European offspring into the white power structure as it existed in America.

The other two major waves of “immigration” come as a consequence of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade (I hate to refer to this as immigration, but by definition it fits, I point this out not to lump slavery into the pot with other means in which people arrived in the Americas, but to high light the fact that this phenomenon did contribute to the population shifts of people in the Americas), and the migration of individuals from Caribbean and Latin American countries (most of which are victims of the Trans Atlanic Slave Trade, or the theft of indeginious land) into the United States in more recent history (Late ‘70’s forward). The individuals from the Caribbean and Latin America often end up coming to the states in order to secure jobs and resources that have been pulled out of their country, and now are being bought and sold for the benefit of the white power structure. Why would a Cuban come to the US to work at a sugar mill in Florida? If looked at superficially it seem mundane or silly. But, when examined closely the economic policy of the US toward Cuba and other nations force this backward behavior to exist. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement )is a perfect example of this reality.

I saved the last two points of immigration not because they follow the chronological order of immigration waves, but in order to make the point that the white power structure soaks up the labor and resources that come out of institution like slavery or the current immigrant population, but do not appreciate the laborers. This comes as a consequence of the white power system understanding that if they become out numbered within boarders that they claim, their existence will eventually be eliminated by the dominate genes of other groups. The fact is clearly displayed in the US during the 1800's. When the African population out numbered the European population, it quickly became illegal to ship Africans from Africa to the US. By 1808, the Congress of the United States made it illegal to bring more slaves into the country. This didn’t end the institution of slavery; it simply limited the number of slaves that could be in America. This is also reflected in the laws during Jim Crow that outlawed the marriage of “Negroes, Moors [Muslim North Africans], mulattoes, mestizos and Indians” to white people. America hated the African, and other people of color, but couldn’t function without the labor.

Still, the smuggling of Africans as slaves into the United States continued well into the mid 1800's. Slave trading within the states continued up until the day of Emancipation in 1863, some historians argue that chattel slavery continued well into the 20th century.

The immigration topic as it is discussed in the media is a result of contending forces of the white power structure. The same contending forces that fought during the Civil War are at it again. (The Civil War WAS NOT fought to end slavery; in fact Abraham Lincoln is on record as saying “If I could save the Union without ending slavery I would”. The Civil War was a fight between the Industrialization and Agriculture sectors of the white power structure) We shouldn’t concern ourselves with this argument; because it doesn’t benefit us to do so, in fact taking a side strengthens the different sectors of the white power structure. We have been tricked by this argument once; let’s not fall for it again.

Borders as they exist now clearly support the white power structure. The borders are designed to keep the balance of power in the favor of white power. If violations of the borders contributed to the white power structure would there be an issue? I believe most reasonable people will come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t, based on the fact that Irish and Polish illegal immigrants were welcomed in large part. We need to focus on destabilizing as many of the four necessary ingredients of the nation as possible. By weakening the characteristics of the state, as it exist, we consequently weaken the white power structure. This is a key strategy of winning power in our favor!!!

When the government tries to deport the wives of soldiers allegedly fighting to defend this country, it makes it clear to me what they are willing to do to keep power. The question I pose to the readers is what we are willing to do to gain power. We need to be able to freely associate ourselves with all those, regardless of country, that understand the need to destroy the white power structure that has so many of us stuck in a never ending whirlwind of despair. There is no such thing as illegal immigration, when you don’t recognize the borders that the white power structure has developed to maintain their power. Africans did not observe the boarders of the plantation when heading north to escape physical bondage, nor should we respect those same borders now! The boarders then where designed to support white power, and much has not changed since then. Our whole being needs to be focused on destroying this system that has crippled colored faces all over the world. Taking a correct stance on immigration is one step in the direction of a liberated future.

PS
Just to be clear I don’t think we should replace the current oppressive white power system with an oppressive black, brown, red, or yellow power system. That line of thought is backward and impractical. Taking a “Black Man” and putting him in the same oppressive role of the “White Man” doesn’t fulfill the power structure that I am trying to promote. My position would be the same, given the swap in race, and the same set of circumstances that exist today.
