The best means of supporting the undocumented Champaign, Urbana, is by establishing it as a “Sanctuary City” as Prof. Francis Boyle, and others did in the 80’s. Then updating and revising it with support from CU-Immigration, and others in the community with
support from Mayor Pruessing and the Urbana City Council as was done in December 2016.

<div class="">It’s too bad Champaign City Council wasn’t willing to take that first step to legally protect the good citizens of their community, when establishing it as a Sanctuary City, was suggested.</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Immigration is a big show and there's more than one thing in play. It's a strange sort of peace movement that wouldn't stand up for protecting refugees, a basic U.S. government obligation under international law and under U.S. law. A
key narrative of the Sanctuary Movement for undocumented Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees in the 1980s was that the Reagan Administration wasn't complying with U.S. international law obligations on protecting refugees in general and the Refugee Act of 1980
in particular. I find it breathtaking that protecting refugees is something that has to be argued for on this list, rather than being taken as a premise.

<div class="">But what's not complicated is that the "rules" of immigration have always been worked out by the ruling class in order to disempower the working class. The fact that we have so many highly professional, well-educated, and successful immigrants
in our community (and in our country) adds a new twist to this scenario, but these people aren't challenging the rules of the capitalist game, obviously. But they do give the News-Gazette a reason to view them as "model minorities," and we're back to where
we started, Horatio Alger 2.0. It's a strange sort of working class movement that alienates and even demonizes most of the working class, both white and black, while identifying itself with the business and professional class, especially those in academia
who represent the neoliberal corporate university at its finest. And of course, three years in to the Black Lives Matter movement, not to mention the Ammons tenure, there is no multi-racial class solidarity to be found in the parade procession, to my knowledge.</div>

<p class="">...who’s for illegal immigration? As far as I know … the only people who are openly for illegal immigration are neoliberal economists.</p>
<p class="">First of all, neoliberal economists are completely for open borders, in so far as that’s possible. Friedman said years ago that, “You can’t have a welfare state and open borders,” but of course the point of that was “open the borders, because that’ll
kill the welfare state.” There’s<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=16508148925211743157&hl=en&as_sdt=20005&sciodt=20000" target="_blank" class=""> a good paper</a> you can get off the web by Gordon Hanson, commissioned
by whoever runs <cite class="">Foreign Affairs</cite>, and the argument is that illegal immigration is better than legal immigration, because illegal immigration is extremely responsive to market conditions.</p>
<p class="">So it’s quite striking that you have all this protesting against illegal immigration, and especially at a time when it’s down. So why are people so upset about it? They are upset about it not because it has gotten worse, it hasn’t, but because they
somehow recognize that one of the primary sort of marks of the triumph of neoliberalism in the US is a very high tolerance of illegal immigration, and that illegal immigration is the kind of <i class="">ne plus ultra</i> of the labor mobility that neoliberalism
requires. I mean that’s why for years — even though it’s a kind of contradiction in terms — as a policy it’s worked well. The Bush administration did everything it could to talk against illegal immigration but leave it alone and I’m sure the Obama administration
would do the same thing except its hand’s being forced by the Tea Party.</p>
<p class="">...Some argue that limiting immigration could help restore the unions and that’s obviously false and I’m certainly not saying that the Tea Party has the diagnosis right. The Tea Party thinks that immigrants are taking away their money. It’s not
immigrants who are taking away their money; it’s neoliberalism that’s taking away their money...</p>
