DESCRIPTION:
|
Every year, thousands of people from Mexico and Latin America risk their lives crossing the border into the US. Once here, they work at some of the worst, most dangerous and lowest paid jobs in the country -- without rights that most people enjoy.
With high unemployment and low job security, politicians like Arnold Schwarzenegger have launched an open attack on undocumented workers -- such as the recent repeal of the simple right to drivers licenses.
What is the purpose of the attacks on undocumented workers? Whose interests do they serve?
Join the LA branch of the International Socialist Organization for a discussion of the politics of immigration and why an attack on one group of workers is an attack on us all!
