Communist Party of Mexico: Solidarity with Migrant Worker Struggle in the US
Statement by el Partido Comunista de México which appeared in El Machete.
The Communist Party of Mexico expresses its solidarity with the multinational working class of the United States, which is facing anti-immigrant policies promoted by the US government, both the Republican and Democratic Parties, as demonstrated by the mass deportations under the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations, and which are now intensifying during Trump’s second term.
We condemn the Trump administration’s attacks, such as the recent deployment of the National Guard to California to protect ICE raids and suppress protests, which are yet another step in the unacceptable ongoing policy against migrant workers in the U.S., primarily targeting workers in the maquila, construction, and agricultural industries.
We salute the displays of solidarity from American workers against this anti-immigrant and anti-worker policy. We understand and support the wave of popular indignation and rebellion that has erupted in Los Angeles and that could spread to other cities.
We communists do not believe this can be resolved by resorting to exacerbating nationalism, but rather by raising the banner of proletarian internationalism, solidarity, brotherhood, and fraternity among workers of all countries, and in this specific case, among the working class of North America.
We find the Mexican presidency’s position of joining in the condemnation of the protests in Los Angeles, instead of strongly condemning the brutality with which migrants are treated on the other side of the border, shameful. On the contrary, since the Pompeo-Ebrard agreements, the Mexican governments have replicated the same policy in our country, turning the military and police forces into an extension of the aggressive anti-immigrant policy of the United States.
The Communist Party of Mexico believes it is imperative that the region’s communists, unions, and class-oriented movements develop a coordinated approach and action against the USMCA, anti-immigrant policies, and for the united organization of the proletariat of each country with migrant workers.
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
