Many are sent to detention centers along the border where they can expect swift deportation without any regard for their human and legal rights. This Homeland Security campaign, named “Operation Return to Sender,” tears apart families and seeks to terrorize a whole population of 12 million immigrants in the the U.S. Meanwhile, the official alternative offered in Congress is some form of legislation that would create an indentured-servitude-like guest worker program making immigrant workers dependent on their employer for their legal status. A massive outpouring of 4-5 million immigrants and their allies on May 1, 2006 demonstrated the potential power they have to determine their own fate. Dedicated activists around the country continue to organize to stop the raids. They are part of the new and vital civil rights movement in the U.S. for dignity and legalization of all undocumented immigrants.
