This is probably not the most appropriate comparison. In fact, it’s offensive.

UCLA Workshop: Illegal Aliens Are Just Like Dying AIDS VICTIMS; US Government Is To Blame

The University of California, Los Angeles hosted a workshop last week comparing the “mass deaths” of illegal aliens “along the U.S.-Mexico border” to the deaths of AIDS victims, and urging pro-illegal immigration activists to use the same tactics utilized by ACT UP and other AIDS advocacy groups.

The UCLA department of political science hosted the Feb. 26 lunchtime workshop in a campus building. The workshop was presented by Cristina Beltrán, a professor at New York University.

The title of the midday workshop at the taxpayer-funded school was “Undocumented and Acting Up: Queering Sovereignty in the Immigrant Rights Movement.”

“Faced with a dehumanizing logic that blames them for their own suffering, gay and undocumented subjects must challenge a political culture more interested in simplistic accounts of individual action than [in] complex analyses of global capitalism, human desire, and government failure,” Beltrán explained in a summary of her workshop.

The NYU professor’s 33-page paper corresponding with the workshop is entitled “Undocumented and Acting Up: Queer Sovereignty in the Immigrant Rights Movement.”
