It's in terms of job/academic security. International workers have many more hoops to jump through and fewer resources to guarantee they can finish their studies without bureaucratic interference.

Ah. When I read "safer campus" I think of physical safety, not job security. Thanks for clarifying.

Yeah no worries. It's definitely not clear

Maybe it should be so you can actually rally people to the cause :b

I agree. It's not my flyer. I'm just sharing it.

> bureaucratic interference.

A protest at a university is not going to change federal immigration laws. But go have your party if it'll make you feel better.

I appreciate you pointing that out, even if you're trying to be snarky about it, but I don't know why you would think a few hundred grad students wouldn't know that. This is a labor demonstration regarding the contract between the university and its employees. Graduate Student unions are nationally-recognized, official unions, like any other labor union you might come across. We know what we're arguing. The only things being protested are policies the university can but will not change.
