The attempts by states to control the movement of people leads only to criminalisation, apartheid and death. People are divided into those with and without documents, workers divided into those with and without rights, and countries divided into a strict hierarchy of wealth. Thousands die as they try to cross borders, as the conditions of detention become unbearable or as the threat of return to unbearable conditions get closer. Selective inclusion and 'illegality' are methods to divide and control us all. No One Is Illegal! Support FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT and the RIGHT TO REMAIN for all.
