We are setting up this blog to be a space where we can share information about what is going on in the immigration scene, especially as it intersects with labor.
Immigration as the new Gay Marriage
As we enter another election year, it seems to many of us that Immigration may be the big wedge issue that the right wing uses against progressives this time around. How can we, as labor educators, combat this divisive tactic?
We are hoping that you and other ITF members and friends will post articles you have found interesting (from all sides of the debate) as well as your thoughts on the subject.
To get this thing rolling, here are two articles from today's Boston Globe (assuming I've figured out how to do this correctly):
- An op ed by Anita Hill about how anti-affirmative action crusader Ward Connerly is using anti-immigrant sentiment to ban affirmative action in 5 states
- A news article about how John McCain has dropped his stand for immigration reform and is now just focusing on border control
So, blog on, everyone!
