QPIRG McGill is excited to present "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL: An Analysis of 
Migration, Borders and Global Apartheid" a free public lecture presented by 
Jaggi Singh.

This past June 2005, migrants, refugees and their allies marched for over 
one-week from Montreal to Ottawa, demanding status for all. This presentation 
is in part inspired by the March on Ottawa and aims to provide a critical 
analysis of Canada's immigration system within the context of worldwide 
migration, displacement and capitalist globalization. Topics covered will 
include: contemporary migration; the history of border controls; colonialism, 
neo-colonialism and self-determination; security and the "war on terror"; 
resistance to borders; secret trials and security certificates; the detention 
of immigrants; contemporary campaigns for immigrant rights; and more.

Jaggi Singh is a Montreal activist and a member of No One Is Illegal-Montreal 
and Solidarity Across Borders.


The lecture is the first in a three part series.  The proceeding installments 
are geared towards individuals interested in getting involved in local
