We are all migrants. The vast majority of people on the planet hail from recently migrating cultures. This fact has placed borders at the core of a global tension that has been following civilization since its inception. It is a tension that has caused past empires to crumble, and the US is beginning to see those same familiar stress fractures. Now, Earth First! is faced with a question that we have been skirting around for 26 years, a question that all past revolutionaries have had to ask themselves at critical moments in human history: Which side are we on?
