The "border crisis" is a manufactured emergency. Yes, people are fleeing to the US and Europe from wars, oppressive regimes, and disaster zones—and both capitalism in general and US foreign policy in particular contribute to creating those. But the same billionaires and politicians who are wringing their hands about undocumented immigration are also bewailing declining birth rates, fearing that those will diminish their access to cheap labor.

Over 12 million people in the US are undocumented. Calls for tighter border controls are chiefly about increasing the pressure on these vulnerable workers in order to exploit them more aggressively. What's at stake is how much violence they face, not whether the economy can do without them.

Capitalists have no intention of paying a cent more for labor. The function of political posturing about the "border crisis" is to distract us from capitalist profiteering and to create a rationale for more state violence targeting everyone, not just the undocumented.

The solution to our problems is not xenophobia. It is solidarity and resistance. If we do not stand up for the humanity of those who are excluded and oppressed today, we will find ourselves on the wrong side of the walls of tomorrow.
