No One is Illegal - (Immigration Control And Asylum)

by Steve Cohen

No One Is Illegal is an important collection of essays. It is written from an explicit perspective of opposition to all immigration controls. It rejects the notion that there can be "fair" or "anti-racist" controls. At the same time it aims to raise controversial debates within the movement against controls — not least as to what "no controls" means in respect to political practice. . The book begins by delineating the main issues and explaining the new Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act of 2002.

Part One of the book provides a political background to immigration controls and shows why there cannot be fair or non-racist controls.  Part Two provides the historical background and demonstrates how controls in this country have always been used against refugees — starting with the 1905 Aliens Act. Part Three examines internal welfare controls. Part Four looks at the international aspects of control and how a global fortress is being erected against migrants, immigrants and refugees. Part Five celebrates resistance to immigration controls. Part Six provides a conclusion and while hostile to all controls looks critically both at the arguments for "fair" controls and for no immigration controls.

Steve Cohen has been an immigration lawyer and an activist against immigration controls for two decades. He was previously coordinator of Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit.
