LOS ANGELES--"This is a racist attack," replied a young comrade in an ICWP study group to the point that the US government has welcomed the New Year with new deportations. We read an article that pointed out that over 100,000 families from Central America have crossed the US border since last year. Now thousands of these families are the target of these new deportations. (See below)
This study group marks an advance in the high school work--the second session of a student formation from a new high school. Six students participate and two of them have decided to join the Party.
"Besides," continued the young comrade in this second session, "these tactics are not only used to terrorize our working class brothers and sisters but also to bring fear to other workers. This is how they try to divide and control the working class. We will not be like the single twig that breaks, but all united in an unbreakable unity—all working together internationally against the oppressors.”
After a good discussion we concluded that communism will welcome all workers and that the capitalist system is the cause of immigration influx from Central America, Africa, Syria and the Middle East.
We also agreed on the need to mobilize the working masses for communism and as part of that we decided to organize a rally around these mass deportations in downtown Los Angeles, the heart of the garment industry.
As we mobilize the masses for communism we are building a world without borders or capitalist governments—a world where we abolish all forms of money and so the full wellbeing of every family and human being will be the top priority of all.
The capitalist system based on money, exploitation and profits will be substituted by the communist system based on collective work, collective distribution and collective struggle to clarify and implement communist principles that will guide our new society.
Deportations have already started for example in Norcross, GA. Last Saturday the niece of Juana Gutierrez and her 9 year-old son were taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. They arrived in an unmarked car and presented her with an arrest warrant for a man she did even know.
Juana told the agents they needed a warrant to enter her house. They told her that they did not need one; they entered checking every room in the house, waking the children. "They were trembling with fear," she said about the children.
In Texas, six Central American families were detained in the raids and taken to the detention center called Family Residential Center of South Texas.
The conditions in detention centers are horrifying and these centers are used to extract huge profits for the owners.
The federal government pays an average of $120 per detainee per day. Detainees are paid a dollar a day, and 13 cents per hour, to upkeep the integral maintenance of the facilities.
Two private prison corporations—CCA and GEO—dominate the industry of immigration detentions. Together, they operate eight of the ten largest detention centers. The two operate 72 percent of the immigration detention beds. The CCA and GEO increased their share of total immigration detention from 37 percent in 2010 to 45 percent in 2014. The GEO group in particular has increased immigration detention to 25 percent in 2014 from 15 percent in 2010. These two companies have significantly increased their profits CCA from $133,373,000 in 2007 to $195,022,000 in 2014. The GEO increase their profits even more dramatically from $41,845,000 in 2007 to $143.84 million in 2014, an increase of 244 percent.
