Migrants rights advocates pays tribute

Migrants rights advocates pays tribute to undocumented migrant workers killed in 9-11 ; says no human being is illegal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [Sigue en espanol/please forward to your media]]
September 11, 2006

Migrants rights advocates pays tribute to undocumented migrant workers killed in 9-11 ; says no human being is illegal

(New York City) Migrant workers and migrant rights organizations from the United States, Asia, Africa and Europe will converge at the Ground Zero this evening and join the New York-based immigrant rights advocates to recognize the heroism of hundreds of undocumented migrant workers killed in the September 2001 terror attacks. The early evening vigil also aims to challenge repressive migration policies across the globe and call for the ‘decriminalization’ of undocumented workers who are called illegal workers in many countries.

“Migrants are among the victims of that heinous and barbaric attack five years ago. Some of them did not have the proper documents as well. Would you call those people, who had served coffee, mopped the floors and cleaned the windows of the World Trade Center, illegal? They sacrificed their lives for this country during the 9-11 attacks,” says Catherine Tactaquin, Executive Director of the US-based National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and member of Migrants Rights International. “Tens of thousands of migrant workers in the US face daily sacrifices including loss of life, as they toil to provide safe and healthy lives for their families,” she adds.

“An undocumented worker is not illegal. No human being is illegal. Undocumented migrant workers have the same rights as any other worker. Both contribute to the companies they worked for, the countries they reside in and the countries they will go home to,” says William Gois, the Regional Coordinator of Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA).

According to Mr. Gois, categorizing migrant workers who have no proper documents as illegals allows governments to conduct activities that will violate the rights of the migrants. In Asia, MFA has repeatedly condemned the Malaysian and South Korean governments for the violent crackdowns and arbitrary expulsions against undocumented workers.

“Stop the crackdowns and vicious raids. These are not the actions of mature and democratic societies. What we need here is the genuine recognition of the tremendous contribution of migrant workers to the development of host and home countries. These are the facts. Without these workers, there will be no food on your table, no clean clothes in your closet and no roof over your heads,” Mr. Gois says.

The various migrant rights groups are in New York City to attend and observe the United Nations High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development on September 14 and 15. Ms. Tactaquin says that their group will also be organizing community dialogues on migration and talking with the different permanent mission representatives of the UN Member States to give their inputs on migration and highlight the perspectives of migrants and migrant civil society organizations.#

Defensores de derechos migrantes rinden homenaje

11 de Septiembre, 2006

Defensores de derechos migrantes rinden homenaje a las y los trabajadores migrantes indocumentados que murieron el 11 de septiembre; declaran que ningún ser humano es ilegal

Ciudad de Nueva York) Organizaciones de trabajadores migrantes y defensoras de derechos migrantes de los EEUU, Asia, África y Europa se convergirán en Zona Cero esta noche y se unirán a defensores de los derechos de los y las inmigrantes basados en Nueva York para reconocer el heroísmo de los cientos de trabajadores migrantes indocumentados que murieron en los ataques terroristas del 11 de Septiembre. La vigilia del anochecer también desafiará las políticas represivas que se han desatada a través del mundo y llamarán por la “despenalización” de las y los trabajadores indocumentados que son llamados trabajadores ilegales en muchos países.

“Los y las migrantes están entre las víctimas de ese ataque vil y barbárico de hace cinco años. También algunos de ellos no tenían sus documentos en orden. ¿Llamaría a esa gente, que servían café, trapeaban los pisos y limpiaban las ventanas del Centro de Comercio Mundial, ilegales? Sacrificaron sus vidas por este país durante los ataques del 11 de septiembre,” declara Catherine Tactaquin, directora ejecutiva de la Red Nacional Pro Derechos Inmigrantes y Refugiados (NNIRR, National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rightsd), que está basada en los EEUU, y miembra de la Internacional de Derechos Migrantes (MRI, Migrant Rights International). “Decenas de miles de trabajadores migrantes en los EEUU enfrentan sacrificios diarios incluyendo la pérdida de su vida, cuando trabajan para proveer vidas sanas y saludables para sus familias,” añade.

“Un trabajador indocumentado no es ilegal. Ningún ser humano es ilegal. Las y los trabajadores migrantes indocumentados tienen los mismos derechos que cualquier otro trabajador. Ambos contribuyen a las compañías por los que trabajan, a los países donde residen y a sus países de origen,” dice William Gois, el coordinador regional del Foro Migrante en Asia (MFA, Migrant Forum in Asia).

Según el Sr. Gois, categorizar de ilegal a las y los trabajadores migrantes que no tienen documentación vigente permite a los gobiernos de conducir actividades que violarán los derechos de las y los migrantes. En Asia, el MFA repetidamente ha condenado a los gobiernos de Malasia y Corea del Sur por las represalias violentas y las expulsiones arbitrarias contra trabjadores indocumentados.

“Alto a las represalias y las redadas viles. Estas no son las acciones de sociedades maduras y democráticas. Lo que necesitamos aquí es el reconocimiento genuino de la contribución tremenda de las y los trabajadores migrantes al desarrollo de los países anfitriones y de origen. Estos son los hechos. Sin estos trabajadores, no habrá comida en sus mesas, no habrá ropa limpia en su armarios y no habrá techos sobre sus cabezas,” declara el Sr. Gois.

Los diversos grupos de derechos migrantes están en la Ciudad de Nueva York para asistir y observar el Diálogo de Alto Nivel sobre Migración y Desarrollo de las Naciones Unidas el 14 y 15 de Septiembre. La Sra. Tactaquin dice que su organización también estará organizando diálogos comunitarios sobre migración y hablando con diferentes representantes de la misión permanente de los Estados Naciones de la ONU para proveer las perspectivas sobre la migración y realzar las perspectivas de los y las migrantes y las organizaciones migrantes de la sociedad civil.

Mr.

With the 9/11 incident falling upon the anniversary of the groundbreaking or completion)?) of he Pentagon, and targeting both a symbol of American capitalism and the American war machine, one wonders about the suggestion of Communist (old KGB ?) involvement.

But, when considering that the Waco incident appears to have been staged to embarass Clinton, maybe we have a get-even venture...

Waco, 9/11 & old friends

by Dennis R. Hilton Thursday, Sep. 14, 2006 at 4:38 PM

When Clinton was elected, he pissed off the military. The result was a massive effort to discredit him, calling him a socialist, communist, etc. It sure looks like the Waco incident was staged to embarass him with public outrage at its handling (they coached him on how to do it wrong).

Then comes 9/11, on the anniversary date of the Pentagon's groundbreaking (or completion; I forget which). Targets involve the symbols of the American War Machine and American Capitalism, signing it with a traditional "Communist" flavor.

Tit for tat? Maybe not...

In the meantime, comes old friend Saddam, with a diversion, while the government takes the bait, showing us just what no rights we have. By the way, the NSA spying began at least as early as 1998 or 1999. I met one myself. hen they do have a facility in OK City, and probably took it personal.

I don't know whether or not the old ex-USSR intelligence people, who probably set these things up, followed the best course of action, but their target is one which must bend over. Unfortunately, as Tim said, there is always collateral damage in any war.

I'll bet they're saying: "Where are the weapons, Bush? The world will not submit to nuclear, or starwarz, domination, and agreements will be kept."

What do you think?
