       Trump Kills DACA, Democrats Push Border Security

No Deportations!

Full Citizenship Rights for All Immigrants!

The lives of some 800,000 younger immigrants, their families and communities were thrown into chaos earlier this month when the Trump administration pulled the plug on the Obama-initiated Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The repeal of DACA, which granted a temporary reprieve to a small layer of undocumented immigrants brought into this country as children, puts “Dreamers” at the mercy of immigration authorities and threatens their livelihoods and those of the extended families they financially support. Wasting no time, the Department of Homeland Security issued a memo encouraging DACA recipients to pack their bags and leave by next March, when DACA permits begin to expire. Already, there are reports of detentions at the border and racist attacks on DACA students in colleges.

 By launching this latest anti-immigrant attack, which has sparked protests nationwide, Trump was playing to his nativist base. Coming on top of the recent presidential pardon of arch-racist Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the decision by the Supreme Court to temporarily allow partial enforcement of the anti-Muslim travel ban, the demise of DACA has the forces of reaction riding high. In their crosshairs are not only immigrants and Muslims but black people and the working class as a whole. The same racist invective that emboldens the border vigilantes and immigrant-bashers emboldens fascist killers like those who mobilized in Charlottesville in defense of the former slavocracy.

 The move to scrap DACA predictably afforded Democratic Party politicians a cheap opportunity for some theatrical grandstanding. First and foremost among them was Barack Obama, who pronounced Trump “cruel” for rescinding the 2012 executive order that established DACA. The previous president certainly knows a thing or two about cruelty. Among his many crimes as CEO of American capitalism, Obama deported more people than any previous president in U.S. history. In fact, despite a spike in arrests, the rate of deportations under Trump to date does not match even Obama’s slowest year. (read on)

                                   About the ICL

                                           The International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) is a proletarian, revolutionary and internationalist tendency committed to the task of building Leninist parties as national sections of a democratic-centralist international. Our aim is the achievement of new October Revolutions—nothing else, nothing other, nothing less. The ICL bases itself on Marxist historical, dialectical materialism and seeks in particular to carry forward the international working-class perspectives of Marxism developed in the theory and practice of the Bolshevik leaders V. I. Lenin and L. D. Trotsky and embodied in the decisions of the first four Congresses of the Communist International as well as key documents of the Fourth International such as the Transitional Program (1938) and "War and the Fourth International" (1934). We also look to James P. Cannon, a leader of the early American Communist Party who was won to Trotskyism and went on to become a principal founder of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), working in close collaboration with Leon Trotsky. The origins of the ICL are in the Spartacist League/U.S., which began as the Revolutionary Tendency in the SWP and was bureaucratically expelled in 1963. Our ICL "Declaration of Principles and Some Elements of Program" was modeled on the Declaration of Principles adopted at the 1966 founding conference of the SL/U.S.

 Adopted at the Third International Conference of the ICL in early 1998, the declaration presently exists in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, German, Russian, Polish, Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Greek, Korean and Tagalog. In this post-Soviet period, marked by a deep regression of proletarian consciousness, we continue to be guided by Trotsky's statement that "the task of the vanguard is above all not to let itself be carried along by the backward flow; it must swim against the current." Reforge the Fourth International, world party of socialist revolution!
