Dr. Carson is probably one of the people whom I'd define as the dangerous
people within our population of whom we need to be afraid. They disrupt
other countries, cause wars and devastation which create desperate people
who may be angry at the US, they are destroying our environment which causes
the storms, floods and droughts that we have to deal with, they steal our
wealth for the use of a few while we watch our physical and social
structures deteriorate, and they imprison and kill large numbers of us whom
they define as dispensible.

No wall in history has kept out mass migration. But it is even worse when a
nation, or a group of nations, have created an intolerable situation,
forcing thousands and millions of people to flea their homes, and then
denying them a safe haven. This morning I heard Doctor Carson explain why
he is not in favor of allowing any displaced people into the USA. He said
we had to understand that Terrorists could be tucked away in the flood of
immigrants and attack our nation from within.
I suggest that we export Doctor Carson to the Arctic Circle...if it hasn't
melted yet.

Open the borders to refugees now!

The Socialist Workers Party demands Washington 'Open the borders!'
to the hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and elsewhere
driven from their homes as a result of capitalist exploitation,
competition and war. The SWP's sister Communist Leagues in the United
Kingdom, Canada and elsewhere are initiating and joining protests
demanding their imperialist rulers do likewise.
We salute the proletarian response of tens of thousands of working
people in Europe who reject chauvinism and welcome the immigrants,
demanding the governments where they live do the same.

The deadly turmoil in the Middle East and Africa today is a result of
the coming apart of the imperialist-imposed order headed by
Washington, as well as decades of betrayals by Stalinist and
nationalist misleaderships that claimed to speak for the toilers of
the region. It is a product of the world crisis of capitalist trade
and production, which falls most heavily on toilers in the semicolonial
countries.

The Socialist Workers Party has a proud history of demanding
Washington open the borders to those seeking refuge - from Jews
fleeing Nazi concentration camps in the 1930s to Kurds and others
following the 1991 U.S. assault on Iraq.

"Crumbling borders weaken the employer-fostered competition between
workers of different nationalities and widen the cultural scope and
world view of the working class," SWP National Secretary Jack Barnes
wrote in Capitalism's World Disorder. "This process strengthens the
fighting potential of labor's battalions and brings new experiences
and militancy into the workers movement."

Widespread working class solidarity and aid to the fleeing toilers
stands in stark contrast to the response of their rulers, who block
fleeing refugees with border fences and naval flotillas and paint
immigrants as terrorist threats. Workers can see more clearly the need
for our class to act - to take a revolutionary course to break from
the capitalist parties, to build labor parties based on the unions on
the road to overthrowing the dictatorship of capital and joining the
worldwide fight for socialism, a society based on relations of human
solidarity, not me-first dog-eat-dog capitalist values.
