Appendix 183
In France the sans-papiers campaign under the slogan ‘personne n’est
illégal/e’. There have been No One Is Illegal/No Border camps at the joint
borders of Germany, Czech Republic and Poland, and No Border camps at
Frankfurt, southern Spain and Salzburg. In June 2002 there was a demonstration
against war, globalization and in defence of refugees under the same
slogan in Ottawa, Canada. In England groups are emerging calling
themselves No Borders. The demand for no controls, rather than being seen
as extreme, operates as a rallying call to the undocumented and their
supporters. Our aim in producing this, our initial manifesto, is to encourage
the formation of No One Is Illegal/No Border groups throughout this country
– groups specifically and unreservedly committed to the destruction of all
immigration controls.
