Instant Sunrise posted:Labor has traditionally been anti-immigration, and many of the more draconian immigration bills I've mentioned were supported by labor. And there's a very obvious reason for that, as workers would organize and take direct action against management and the capital class, management would use immigrants as scab labor and plays the two groups against each other. Uhh what about the socialist internationals, workers of all countries, etc etc. It's true that immigration has always been an important topic for left-wing movements, but the relationship has not always been adversarial e: I think I got my history mixed up a bit there Private Speech fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 14, 2018 |

Lightning Knight posted:On the truly staggering level of sexual assault in ICE detention facilities and the lack of action to do anything about it, or even document it properly. At least the people involved got fired v  vIn Britain the current prime minister (back whe she was at home office) rather famously claimed instead that disclosing rapes in detention centres would harm the commercial interests of their operators (G4S). Allegedly one guard was accused of sexually assaulting 7 women, for which he was placed on unpaid leave. Searching for "Yarl's wood" on BBC comes up with a ton of depressing rape poo poo. A multi-month hunger strike was staged by the detainees. Nobody really cared, well except for local media who were more worried about the detainees breaking out than anything else. They also wouldn't let a UN delegation visit the detention centre, instead attacking the Brazilian inspector for daring to suggest that Britain could be doing something wrong (with a very heavy tone of "look at your own country").
