About xenophobia and racism against immigrants across the world (in the US, France, Italy, and England) and the attacks on civil rights. The fight for multi ethnic unity in the face of anti-immigrant mobilizations and opposing attempts to pit different ethnic groups against one another. The 1986 Immigration Reformation and Control Act is discussed, which introduces I-9 Forms and grants some immigrants amnesty. INS abuses on the borders are also addressed.
