No One Is Illegal-Toronto is an all volunteer grassroots migrant justice organization that fights for livelihood, food, education, healthcare, childcare, shelter, accessible services, freedom of movement, justice and dignity for all people, particularly undocumented and migrant worker communities in Toronto. We also act in solidarity with Indigenous movements for self-determination and organize against wars, economic and environmental attacks that push people out of their homes in the first place.

In October 2011

6 federal bureaucrats were drafted to pose as "new canadians"

for a citizen reaffirmation ceremony

broadcast on the Sun News Network.

an event requested by immigration minister Jason Kenney's office.

The bureaucrats smiled and held canadian flags

as a tv host referred to a group of 10 people as "new canadians"

that had finally received their citizenship.

In reality, only 3 new immigrants showed up at sun tv.

This group of immigrants say

not only is this propaganda from a pseudo state broadcaster,

but Jason "I Blame the Civil Servants" Kenney's "generous and inclusive immigration policies"

are also a charade.

After seeing this, we asked ourselves

As we couldn't find any real bureaucrats,

we asked some new immigrants

and whoever was around at the studio to just fake it.

[official] Please repeat after me:

i swear

[new immigrants] i swear!

[official] That i will be faithful

[new immigrants] that i will be faithful!

[narrator] Canadian immigration policies

are slamming the door shut on immigrants,

jailing refugees,

pushing people into dangerous temporary jobs,

forcing families apart,

and keeping people of colour poor.

We demand status for all.

No one is illegal.
