This song is more relevant than ever now that the issue of immigration is gaining so much attention. This song is the ultimate rallying cry for those of us on the side of human and civil rights.

Some people have to stay and fight for survival in the country they live in while others have to leave to survive. Corporations cross international borders all the time in search of people to exploit for profit and no one stops them. They call it globalization. On the other hand, the victims of corporate domination are told that they can't cross borders in search of better lives, and are forced to stay and deal with the social, economic and environmental messes the companies leave behind when they inevitably move their operations to places with even more "favourable business climatesî (re: lower wages, lax environmental laws, tax breaks). Looks like capitalism and human-rights don't mix.
