No One is Illegal - Vancouver
Summary:
A pamphlet by No One is Illegal - Vancouver, a grassroots anti-colonial immigrant and refugee rights movement and organization. It debunks common myths and assumptions about migrants, such as the myth that non-status migrants and refugees are given priority over other immigrants; that migrants take away jobs; that Canada cannot afford to let more migrants in; that Canada's refugee policy is adequate and fair to all; and that non-status migrants will be criminals and terrorists. The pamphlet counters each of these myths with evidence and points to the racism inherent in each of these assumptions.
