Almost word for word we have heard this from the Whitehouse, and liberal news media, I copied it straight from the CPUSA web site.
Submitted jointly by the Illinois Communist Party and the national Political Action Commission
The Communist Party USA fights for the rights of all workers and their families, immigrant as well as non-immigrant. We support the labor movement's position of organizing immigrant workers at their workplace. A strong labor movement, uniting immigrant and native born workers, can best protect all workers from sub-standard wages, wage theft and fear of losing their jobs if they speak up for their rights and against dangerous conditions in the work place. The fight for immigrants' rights is not a Latino cause alone but a cause that affects all working people and immigrant families from all nations throughout the world that make the United States their home.
We oppose so-called guest worker programs. These programs super-exploit thousands of immigrant workers who are brought into the country on a temporary basis and are forced to work under near-slave conditions. Also, we strongly oppose the practice of the private prison industry and the federal, state and local jails that have been profiting from the sweated labor of thousands, incarcerated for non-violent immigration violations, sometimes before trial and conviction.
Most Americans agree that the immigration system is broken. But the Republican roadblock in Congress is preventing action to pass the needed legislation, including ease of access to U.S. citizenship. But action cannot wait. A humanitarian crisis has been created in our country by deportations that are breaking up hundreds of thousands of families in this country. We hold the Obama administration accountable for failure to use its executive powers to stop the current fast pace of arrests and deportations, as it has done for the "Dreamers" (youth brought here without papers when they were minors). DHS should reform the enforcement and removal system to stop criminalizing immigrant communities and grant work authorization to hard working immigrants.
The Communist Party agrees with the Interfaith Immigration Coalition of 42 national faith-based organizations that we must "address the factors that push migrants from their homes." U.S. corporations and the U.S. government have promoted unfair trade agreements, investments and foreign policy which have caused the destruction of livelihoods of many thousands of workers, farmers and small producers all over the globe.
For example, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), passed 20 years ago caused a huge loss of jobs in the USA. But the damage was even worse in Mexico with 2,000,000 maize farmers forced off their farms when cheap factory-farm corn from the USA flooded Mexico. After NAFTA passed, many more were forced to immigrate to the US without documents. Only the big banks and big corporations profited from NAFTA. To avoid similar and even worse damage to workers in the U.S. and Pacific countries, the Communist Party USA supports the demand of, "No fast track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement (PTT)."
Comments
Obama can do nothing unless the CPUSA National committee authorizes it.
He is not the one calling the shots.
Now you Know.
Not the constitution he believes in and follows.
