Description:


The Border Crossed Us explains how US capitalism has trans-nationalized, criminalized labor migration, and how the movement for labor renewal begins with international solidarity and opening the border. For readers outraged by the xenophobia and racism of Trump 's immigration policy and confused by why US labor unions have been backwards on the issue of immigration reform, this book will explain how borders are used to increase exploitation within the capitalist system, and how labor and migrant solidarity movements can organize the social forces necessary to open the border. In a political moment when the fight against racism is growing and the hashtag #abolishICE trending this book will have broad appeal to a generation of activists looking for arguments about why we should demilitarize the US-Mexico border and organize with, not against, our brothers and sisters in other countries. Sales of Justin 's earlier book, No One Is Illegal, have continued to be strong and this is a welcome update and expansion on many of the topics covered there. It 's condensed size and readability makes it the perfect read for the activist, labor leaders, students and more who are looking for resources on how to build international solidarity.
