Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted
Our work contracts up and we have to move on
600 miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves

Well, duhhh, they ARE outlaws. That's what illegal means. Unfortunately they don't chase them as much as the song implies.


Judy made a good point when she spoke of the need for international unions. Global unionism may be the only way to moderate the rush to the bottom. Was it Trotsky who claimed the "revolution of the proletariat" would only occur after capitalism had become global? Or maybe Lenin?
