He 's gone to El Paso on the border with Mexico, to boost demand for a new immigration law. Barack Obama has traveled to Texas without a clear invitation, but to "create a path and a sense of urgency - as they told his staff - about the fate of the 11 million undocumented migrants living and working in the United States." The aim of the American president is back at the center of political debate the issue of immigration, by now a nearly exclusive claims of the conservatives and the Tea Party.
It was last December that the president is not mentioned so explicitly in the topic. Since the Republican filibuster did wreck the "DREAM Act", a project that would recognize the citizenship of the children who live and study for years, without a regular residence permit, the United States.
That failure, and the emergence of new, more pressing issues - the economy, Afghanistan, the Arab riots, the hunt for bin Laden - appeared to have finally sent in the attic migrants and their problems. But there Obama is back on, with a speech in which he attempted to tie immigration and the economy.
For the president, to reform the immigration system now means "to strengthen the middle class, so that there is no longer a vast underground economy that takes advantage of the job loss, tumbling incomes of all other workers." It 's crazy for Obama to allow children of illegal attend the best universities in America, and then force them to leave the country: "We give them an education that creates jobs for our competitors." Offer an opportunity for legalization without permission is a fact of humanity: "The vast majority think only of their own families." Moreover, the Republican proposals have not solved the problem: "They wanted to raise a wall on the border with Mexico.
Perhaps now you want a trench and fill it with crocodiles. " Why Obama is back on the immigration issue right now, it's easy to understand. In the U.S. there are more than 50 million Hispanics, 16% of the population. This is the ethnic group with the highest rates of growth and economic development.
In 2008, Hispanics and the Democrats chose Barack Obama, at a rate of two to one. In 2012 the president will still need to return their votes to win. Hence the appeal of El Paso, reaffirmed the willingness to take on the future of 11 million people who are ghosts to American law. Obama knows he has a good chance to win that vote.
The Republican propaganda, especially the Tea Party, came out in recent months with particular violence against without permission, called a "threat to national security." The Republican governor of Arizona Jan Brewer signed a law authorizing arrests on the basis of mere suspicion of illegal immigration.
And other Republican-led states, such as Georgia, are passing similar measures. The President knows that the Hispanic community has shown in recent months more and more nervous and unhappy for the policies of the White House. 400 000 people, most Mexicans were deported from the United States last year.
And "Secure Communities, a program begun by George Bush and boosted Obama, creating a common database at the federal, state and local levels, which promotes the identification and deportation of those without permission, whether or not they are guilty of no offense. "The president will have to convince Hispanics that anything will change during his second term," said Audrey Singer, immigration expert at the Brookings Institution.
As if to say, the world of Hispanic America is ready to withdraw support to Obama offered two years ago.
