End all border controls, let all workers move to wherever they want.
End all discrimination against immigrant workers regardless of their
"legal" status.  This is a very simple and just position.  It is the 
only logical position you can take if you are really for uniting 
the whole working class for class struggle.  For decades the political
organizations I have been working in (COUSML, MLPUSA, CWV) have 
advocated these positions.  

Let me tell you though, this is not any easy sell among native born
American workers.  I think the position is simple and clear and 
obviously just, but the bourgeoisie has planted a huge number of
misconceptions in the minds of most ordinary people.  

But we need to keep fighting for this stand.  Internationalism is a
key requirement in developing a fighting working class movement.
