President a few weeks before the Nov. 6 election, the editorial board of the weight of all parts of the country with their endorsement. Views the LA blog to round up the enthusiasm of some of the show within these political recognition president Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney (Mitt Romney). Now the election is - the last great mercy! - In the past, Obama has won re-election, here's a look at the many people said the Editorial Board on Wednesday.
Detroit Free Press, which endorsed Obama wrote:
The next four years will belong to the prevailing party in Tuesday's presidential election, but those adult UPS in each party who find ways to engage their opponents still resolved - imminent in 2008: How to growth employment balloon national debt, and how to simplify the tax unfair, but how to control costs, and how to end a costly immigration impasse without exacerbating the tax quota.
Begin to imagine the next four years, they have the responsibility or task to defeat their opponents at any cost, it is doomed to sink even further than they obstruct predecessors into public disrepute.
Los Angeles Times endorsed Obama wrote:
[Obama] to win re-election after holding the country into the Great Depression to convince Congress to pass healthcare and financial sector reform. Along the way, he raised Romney's too good to be true commitment to narrow the deficit, while reducing tax rates and inject more dollars into the Pentagon more reasonable. [...]
The longer-term problem for the president to deal with the slow growth rate of the economy and the excessive growth of the federal debt duel pressure, mainly because of the rising costs of Medicare and Medicaid. [...] The current paralysis in Washington needs the kind of leadership to bring the members of Congress, their foxholes. Obama will need to find a way to convince members of Congress that the two sides highly polarized, can and should shape legislation. [...]
Pull factions is a daunting task, but Obama did not choose. Relentless opposition activities, the appalling cost, not to make this job easier. However, even a narrow victory gave Obama some political capital, he should put it on the other side to build bridges.
The New York Times, which endorsed Obama wrote:
U.S. President Barack Obama won a dramatic re-election, is not a sign, show that the fragmented, on election day has finally come together. But it is a strong support for the economic policies of pressure job growth, health care reform, increase taxes and cut the deficit in the balance - and moderate policies on immigration, abortion and same-sex marriage. This is a criticism of the Reagan era bromides about tax cuts and trickle-down economics, the fear of political intolerance and disinformation.
Chicago Tribune endorses Obama wrote:
Sir, enjoy your Wednesday. Then, go back to work. We agree with you this year, in 2008. Now, we ask that you recognize the error of your first term, almost spent the error of your second term.
Finally, the employers of this country. They do so there is a concept of what the country will be taken. They really worried about the burden of government on their place, worry about your signature cost of health care reform, the federal government's borrowing, now up to $ 3,000,000 per minute concerns. [...]
Republicans, Obama is your president for more than four years. This agenda is working with him, the country's economic recovery and tame the debt. Work ... with ... him.
Des Moines Register, in which it endorsed Romney, wrote:
The president's agenda should include the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure, a strong economic foundation, the relaxed grip us dependent on foreign oil, the use of domestic energy sources, including clean energy and renewable energy, reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming; ensure that every individuals shall have access to health care, to ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive a good education.
No, can achieve, but if there is no strong economic growth, provides meaningful work. This means that large and small businesses the confidence and the opportunity to grow and create these jobs. This also means that to restore the vitality of the middle class, millions of Americans are able to share the wealth and enjoy a secure future. [...]
The first task, President Obama is to use what Teddy Roosevelt referred to as the president's "bully pulpit" to unite the country behind him in persuading Congress to small partisan rancor aside and go towards forward to solve the problem, which is critical to the future of this country.
Assume that the results of the forecast for Tuesday night, Obama will have such an opportunity. He must now seize the voters' support, so that the most important election of our time.
Tampa Tribune, endorsed Romney wrote:
As a result, should send a signal to the Republican Party. Florida stressed the challenges they face. Main urban areas, including Hillsborough, with the president, GOP need to go beyond the mostly white suburbs, to expand its coverage. The information free enterprise and self-reliance is not a problem. But it must be refined to include minorities, immigrants and young creative class.

Editorial Board shirk responsibility
I want to comment misleading Journal Sentinel Editorial Board decided to stop endorsed the list of candidates ("Why we will make recommendations" Crossroads, Oct. 28). I am particularly disappointed that the editor of the editorial page editor page mission statement, is "to provide a forum, print and online, thoughtful, provocative comments." Of course, is what the opinion pages have to do, but the task As omitted mentioned, the basic historical task editorial - to try to move the public and policy direction of the Editorial Board believe that the best interests of society.
This is definitely Milwaukee sound of the mission of the magazine's editors, although I've never done the Milwaukee Sentinel Sentinel editorial apparently also in the past few decades, from their strong opinions. The core part is essential mission of the Journal Sentinel newspaper abandoned when? I guess I missed the announcement.
I strongly oppose the recognition of the Journal Sentinel Governor Scott Walker in the recent recall election, on the flimsiest of grounds, the recall should not be favored, because of the governor's policy stance. Take into account the fundamental changes rammed by Walker - his most radical in his original election campaign voiceless - Wisconsin citizens deserve to recall this potential remedies. Editorial Board supported the retention of Walker, despite radical, he ultimately achieve ulterior purpose is is a nausea anticlimactic.
Go with the avoidance of the most important race to vote in the November 6 this year, the President and U.S. Senator. Lead the election, I know the tremendous workload imposed in the approval process and exacerbate the contraction of the employees, but also difficult to justify the most important game of evading.
Editor's note: David Behrendt in Milwaukee magazine editorial page editor for 11 years a member of the Editorial Board of 25 years. Journal Sentinel he retired in 1998.
Thank you will not be approved candidates for public elections. Journal Sentinel wrote some excellent political interests, as well as the research of feature articles. Endorsement is often inconsistent and, frankly, confusing. They undermine the credibility of the news reports. What is best for our country and our country according to their own interpretation of the Journal Sentinel message along with other sources of information, readers can be calculated.
My favorite high school math teacher said, "would be a shame if all of us are like this?" Our democracy depends on an informed and thoughtful voters.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a citizen, I can only hope that the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, as well as all other media, whether print media, radio or television, will take the same philosophy does not endorse political candidates. Adhere to the story. Notify the user or audience, just the fact that respect for the readers, listeners or viewers in the wisdom of his or her own political choices. I would like to congratulate your newspaper.
In his Oct. 28 column, editorial page editor David D. Haynes parameters, because it is, despite the new policy, the political proposals are reasonable, it endorsed the recall election of Governor Scott Walker in the Sentinel Daily unreasonable to remove the policy dispute governor duties. recall should remain in the office or corruption and malfeasance. "
This may be because it is the views of the Editorial Board should be recalled that, but it is a departure from reality, barely legal, historical or factual basis for this reason. Wisconsin's Constitution provides for narrow information on the basis of the recall - its author (and citizens, has repeatedly used) Is there a clear indication of intention to do so. Although 19 states provide recall, in fact, limit their specific reasons, a clear majority (12), including Wisconsin, no.
Look at the historical memories: Wisconsin recall senator and a mayor of the five states in the country, only two successful gubernatorial recalled Lynn Frazier (North Dakota) and Gray · Davis (CA). Was recalled malfeasance or corruption, but the policy is misleading or personal behavior.
Impeachment is the appropriate mechanism to eliminate corruption and malfeasance, which is a characteristic of the nature of the offense and is worth the trial and potential conviction and punishment, and impeachment brought. Misguided policies and personal misconduct, but not criminal in nature, therefore, the National Constitution wise to remove them from the hands of politicians, on his knees on the citizens who employ official related matters for the first time to face. This is the main reason, the State Constitution provides another way to remove an elected official.
Walker recalled exception is more persuasive than rational rationalization. If you do not want to Editorial Board approval of anyone at this time, then do not. However, if required by the Board that it does not take sides, and then stop to take sides.
I was saddened, but not surprised, to read the editorial editor David Haynes explained why the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel will no longer be elected endorsement. Haynes spinning done a very good job, but it has been a very long time the Journal Sentinel, just more and more obvious in the rest of the newspaper is just another business.
Simple and endorse candidates, is bad for business. Hopefully newspapers offend a reader!
No, this is not another of those "Cancel my subscription!" Growl. My wife and I will continue to subscribe to and read, this is still a pretty good newspaper, Journal Sentinel Even without the endorsement. This is just sad, once thought to be a better newspaper to see further diminishment.
As a Chinese user, the company since its inception in 1939, when I was a newsboy, I applaud the Journal Sentinel, the paper independent decision. Journal Sentinel has long been known as the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party. Sometimes, I think to unsubscribe. Now, I look forward to many years of loyal readers. Thank you!
David D. Haynes, editorial page editor, wrote a long list to explain why the Journal Sentinel will no longer be a political endorsement. However, in the previous page of the October 28 the crossroads section, Editorial Board to give us "where candidates stand on this critical issue," which it praise and commend the failed economic policies of the current president and belittle the challenge 's ideas (we think, Oct. 28).
This is just the latest example of the president has done over the past five years is typical propaganda Journal Sentinel. Editorial Committee is not officially recognized by the president - whose endorsement is too clear to see.

The sun every test fails NEWS diligence and ethics
I read the information letter in the Nov. 1 decision to part of 2012. Most letters editor election REFL ected writers actively advocate a position or a candidate. A special letter and did not do so.
I have lived 11 years in Alameda. Our favorite residents, most people moved here from other places, like, I can not say enough positive aspects of our city. Alameda has a high quality of life, and in the prescribed time, I live here, it's just getting better.
I know, we have a number of challenges, many of which are connected to our country and the country faced a wider problem. We must decide how to resolve issues related to the economic downturn, our country as a whole faces and reduce the funding and resources as a society is how it affects the service of our city and our school. We can reasonably our solutions.
I write this letter, because I have noticed a tendency to cause an unacceptable level of anger and personal attacks of the letters and the Alameda Sun published.
I am not against freedom of expression, I understand that some people feel that they need to vent their dissatisfaction in Alameda, every thing, they do not support. But there is a limit, I think that the anonymous letter printed in the Sun (only Spencer has my vote ", November 1), the limit has been crossed.
This letter was composed by the seven paragraphs, only one of which expressed support for the candidate, the title of the sun implied. The rest of the letter Alameda High School principal is an unsubstantiated personal attacks.
My question the right of the Alameda Sun Print this anonymous personal attacks, I questioned two reasons. Affected by the attack is a staff, our school district. She is a dedicated professional doing her job.
If the sun or any other people who want to question the performance of the work, of course they can do so, but the public, legal and proper forum. Unless some public emergencies or transgression of the law, it is absolutely clear is that the pages of the local newspaper is not the right forum. The law as a public figure, who is no more than the public criticism of some people in our society, those definitions. The attack in this letter is not a government official or elected politicians, but simply to do their work. The attack against her is very subjective and questionable legitimacy.
The second reason to publish this letter is inappropriate to the facts, which is published anonymously. Not named their own preparation and publication of the paragraph 6 attack a specific individual, this is unacceptable.
But I do not hold the "A AHS parent is responsible. I think Alameda Sun is responsible for. The sun should not print this letter. Print this anonymous screed, the sun itself is the position of the writer. Sun has.
In doing so, the sun every test fails News diligent and professional ethics. If the Sun hope the performance of the criticism of the school district or any employee of the city, they do so, their research, validation, and support their own point of view. Instead, they hide in an anonymous, unsubstantiated personal attacks.
In my opinion, this has become a common business practice sun. Promote their brands in Alameda, the sun seems to stir up a storm in a teapot.
But I think their lack of serious news to push them towards irrelevant.

U.S. companies should promote safe
Six months ago, the U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh, said he was worried that the "perfect storm" that may threaten the brand in Bangladesh, "International Herald Tribune" reported in the United States, the country's leading apparel exporters.
He was troubled by the failure to protect workers' rights, said he was explicitly warned of the high price of his local audience, they may have to pay another factory fire: American chief executives began to worry about their corporate reputation at risk being.
On Saturday, it's happening.
The survivors said that when a fire alarm went off in Tazreen fashion, the manager told workers, this is a simple failure. The exit door is locked. The fire extinguisher did not work.
Yesterday's death toll to 112. The victims were trapped in a burning building or jumped to their death in despair.
Many New Yorkers, this is completely avoidable terror, a painful reminder of the 1911 Triangle blouse factory fire, causing the death of 146 people - all but 23 of the young women - a factory in Manhattan.
Triangle the smock fire the leadership of the landmark law, in order to protect the rights of workers, and to ensure the safety of the building.
The best, the appalling loss of life in the world last weekend Bangladesh have similar results.
Buy clothes from Bangladesh factory can help to do this - shops refuse to do business, reduce costs, and cut corners security.
This is one thing, companies such as Apple's factories, Foxconn Technology Group, where worker productivity is highly systematic work outsourced to. It is quite another trading company often life-threatening workers.
How to know who they're dealing with? Wal-Mart's rating system, which is worth a look. It has six color-coded security level, it orange to Tanzeen, rating, or high risk, in May 2011.
Why the United States as a factory police? They need to protect their own brand name. Place in Bangladesh, then the power of the free market may liquidation protect employees.

Social Security deficit
Democratic Party really believe that the federal deficit and the national debt is not conducive to social security? Of course, they say a lot:
No. 2 in the Democratic Party in the Senate, Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, adhere to the "Social Security does not increase what you pay for our debt, not a penny, the Sunday ABC'sThis weeks.
At Monday's briefing, White House press secretary Jay Carney repeated theme is: "The drivers, we have to solve the deficit and Social Security is not the driver of the deficit - it is an economic fact."
Well, this is a fact, does not make it so.
Durbin: "Social Security crisis
Durbin, Carney and others do, claiming that the president's own budget to take a look, take a look at exactly what happened on. 465, budget analysis perspective, they will find a chart showing last year, the social security deficit of $ 480 billion this year, Social Security will come up with 50.7 billion yuan short in 2015, as more and more The retirement of baby boomers, cash and cash gap between, is expected to reach $ 8.66 billion.
Need a second source? In a report released last month, the Congressional Budget Office, Social Security benefits began to exceed payroll tax revenues in 2010, and there is no change, the plan will not restore the balance.
Deny this harsh reality, the need for accounting shell game, and I believe (or pretend to believe), the Social Security Trust Fund to bail out. If you believe that we have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Social Security has been with the pay-as-you-go plan: annual payroll tax, annual funding effective. From 1983 to 2009, the Social Security collects more in taxes than it pays benefits. Trust Fund surplus should go, Gore called a "lockbox" protection when he ran for president in 2000. Alas, there is no password box, never had the money come from the Ministry of Finance equally quickly go out and spend IOUs instead of the day-to-day work of the government in the day-to-day expenses and filing cabinets.
Difference between finance the payment of benefits and tax levy, the need to borrow money, thus increasing the annual deficit and the cumulative increase in the national debt. This is the "economic facts."
Of course, the Democratic Party political interests to avoid this problem, keep the social security negotiations sudden tax increases and spending cuts at the end of the fiscal cliff. "I do not intend to be part of it, part of the social security, these talks on the deficit," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Harry Reid, D-Nevada, told reporters this month.
Really? The Democratic Party hopes to exactly how to bend its destructive Republicans reject tax increases, if the Democratic Party in its destructive refusal trim unsustainable welfare programs, not bent?
More than one-fifth of federal spending, Social Security ignored too big. The most likely repair is well known. These measures include raising the income ceiling payroll taxes, cost of living adjustments, and more closely tied to the actual inflation rate, raise the retirement age for future retirees able-bodied. The faster these changes, they will be less painful.
Support plans start with the politicians say is the truth how Social Security works. This is the White House and congressional Democrats apparently believe that the public can not handle things.

Listen to Mitt Romney of economic thought
Mitt • Romney (Mitt Romney), his lunch date at the White House, it might feel like to be allowed to enter heaven briefly, only to be asked to leave. President Obama, out of the door after dinner, ushered the former Massachusetts governor, and then go shoot hoops court in the White House, will be satisfied.
All that aside, this meeting is a good idea.
Romney's achievements gave him a special commercial and financial expertise. He knew a lot of things: he should ask his reaction to be highly concerned.
In the presidential debate his ideas - not to raise interest rates the value of the dollar increase in federal revenue, net of any taxpayer claims ceiling - has obvious advantages, Democrats seize it as a possibility. Romney, who set up a business, but also like the Salt Lake City Olympics, a state government management of large enterprises, there may be more good ideas.
He may be in a private, post-election conversation can more easily share his best ideas. In the battle, Republican asked him a purely conservative and moderate demand, he lived in the middle of the road, Romney seems than he actually is the ability and creativity. In fact, in the current political climate seems to be so all the politicians who seem more than their ability and creativity.
In addition to the wise, from a policy perspective, this gathering is a meaningful political. We may have reached a point, you can score at any party, tried to hinder the progress of other damage.
Two men, engaged in a bitter partisan and personal battle, until a few weeks ago, with the breaking of bread, and sends a valuable signal. Opposition leaders to come together politely exchange views, send a message to the opposing camps of red and blue states "- the world - about government and society should be how it works and political point of view is to serve the people you do not win to do this.

Egypt steps to democracy
Although large-scale demonstrations to protest against the recently elected President Mohamed Mursi continued yesterday, he has taken a crucial step back to seize power, resulting in confusion, and threatened to destabilize Egypt's fledgling democracy.

It is impossible to know whether Mursi actually quiet the fierce opposition of his undemocratic error or simple action, and the escalating anti-government violence concerns have seen strict Islamic rule. Whatever the motivation, the United States has changed his position may be good news, if it is volatile region in Egypt is a stable, democratic ally.

The next time we can avoid the pain of gasoline
Long, very frustrating automobile service stations and angry confrontations, patiently waiting for the, rudely cutting line between Sandy superstorm access to some of the most searing memories. Now we can drive to the gas station, the conditioned reflex brakes Online, now The when gas shortages memories, to smart planning and action in order to avoid duplication.
First of all, let us remember that we are an island nation with limited means of gas transportation, planning for the future development of a sense of urgency. We also realize that the natural gas shortage is not only an inconvenience. They pit our limited supply of each other - not just ordinary citizens, the first reaction is critical to their driving ability in disaster. This allows us to feel depressed. This is the tipping point in our helplessness and hopelessness. This limits our emergency response, and slow economic recovery efforts.
The root of the crisis lies in a completely rational market behavior: Most people know that the storm is coming, and what they are thinking, they need to stocking. Therefore, they have to fill the tank of their car, even if they are half full, buy guzzling generator. These decided to buy before the start of the lack of a little extra gas, to Sandy every step in the chain of distribution to make things worse. The U.S. Coast Guard closed ports, ports and terminals are damaged, some terminal and pipeline, and left many service stations powerless.

There is one thing we can do is try to figure out how to expand the fuel our immediate gasoline delivery system can accommodate, the value of about three days, and to keep enough for four or five days.
Whether we need additional capacity Wood, Glenwood Landing, terminals and storage facilities in East Setauket and Holtsville, we can pay close attention to.

Everyone must make efforts to clean up the country's fiscal mess
As an editorial board, we use this space of time, and once again support the conservative fiscal policies, including tax relief, at the local, state and federal levels. As a philosophical principle, we believe in small government, reducing government spending, tax cuts and economic advantages.
In order to achieve these goals, expressed appreciation to the tax-for-fee reform of our national dialogue Grover Norquist and Americans contribution.
However, we believe that the realism of the few Republicans in Congress seem to distance themselves from an encouraging sign Norquist's taxpayer protection promise.
Simply put, this is everyone in Washington to get serious about our national debt and federal deficit spending, including the time Norquist and his disciples in Congress.
Our national debt is $ 16 trillion. In the past four years, the federal government spent one trillion U.S. dollars, more than has been into
In our nation's capital, not people do not agree with this insanity must be stopped, but financially reckless and irresponsible to continue.
What is the reason? An unwillingness to compromise.
In order to eliminate our debt and stop the deficit, everything must be on the table, including increased revenue. Nothing can be regarded as sacred. Nothing.
This means that an open mind (and we may increase the political courage) by the Republicans, including the part of those who signed Norquist's pledge, as a comprehensive agreement by higher taxes, some Americans think .
This does not mean to completely abandon the all tax principles conservatives, but to confirm that they actually staring at our country in the face of huge challenges.
We will increase, but that seems to be a disproportionate financial cliff "and the country's fiscal mess after the general election debate has been focused on the revenue side.
Budget discussions in Washington must slash spending and reform interests.
In other words, the Democratic Party must practice open-mindedness and political courage.
No extraordinary bipartisan compromise will allow us in the place we need as a nation - no, need - to go.

Governor Chris Christie (Chris Christie) end of the conversation can be tax cuts, due to the hurricane Sandy
In ruins, Sandy has left us a small consolation prize can be found - it is an elegant way to Governor Chris Christie (Chris Christie) the end of his crazy talk about tax cuts.
When it comes to consumption, the Governor is fond of saying that the money is not grow on trees. That is why he had to do this painful thing, he said, like to close six family planning clinics, low-income women get free cancer screenings.
It seems to have escaped him, the same logic applies to tax cuts. The governor's budget includes tax cuts, step-by-step in a cost of $ 1.4 billion per year. He had wanted to cut income tax, which will benefit the rich disproportionately. However, he reluctantly agreed to reshape the cut, the share of the middle class.
Democrats in a political box. They know this is crazy to do this, because the state budget remains in terrible shape. Trenton despite the the governor blue sky claims, credit rating dropped, his watch, mainly because of his huge pension and transportation costs will soon expire.
However, the Democratic Party does not want to be the party poopers. They do not want voters to think Christie, their friends, they are enemies. Therefore, they agreed to cut the tax case, the glare of the governor's budget forecast will come true in January, know that this is impossible.
This week, the governor said, slightly he reconsider his position after Sandy closer to reality.

Comments: My meeting with the legend: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Grew up in Karachi, Pakistan, and I just heard the name, because my father was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Lakers fans. I know there are some the backward connection Jabbar and selective favoritism, but I do not know his name other than the person.
Then, one day, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar come to visit Pakistan.
He is a friend of my father to live, and access to the basketball legend's story began to circulate. One story tells of the extra-long beds, especially for his visit. I remember an ignorant family members asked if he is the father of Paula Abdul.
Needless to say, the arrival of over seven feet tall man, Kareem message.
I did not get to meet Jabbar on that occasion. Only from a visit lasting memories of the past few years, sitting in my parents' bedroom, he autographed pictures and newspaper photos Lakers legend playing squash with one of the top professional players in Pakistan. At that time, Pakistan boast the top two in the world rankings squash player I clearly remember smiling · Abdul Jabbar Jahangir Khan, Pakistan squash legend featured a picture of.
A few years later, my father's friend to Los Angeles with his family. Me and my family, and then had been living for some time in the city of angels, but I'm only in my teens. My father and his friends asked me to, because I keep in the road company of the children visiting. I do not know, but I was a legendary home.
When we reach the in Jabbar house in Bel Air, connected to the house there is a squash court. This is natural is how little I knew, they were known as the "upper limit".
During the visit, the basketball and sports do not discuss, but we do not talk about history. It seems the Jabbar historical first black regiment in the Civil War.
See I've been really interested in history, I began to say what I have learned from watching the movie "Glory" a few weeks ago. I do not even remember the first all-black regiment: the 54th.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar obviously impressed. He came up to me, I have a copy of the hat from the part of the promotion of his book, which is the 54th group.
Held my many years of that hat.
Then we drove to Westwood lunch, go to the Cheesecake Factory. Karim a few steps from the parking to the restaurant, every man in the street called Jabbar. "Hey, champion!" How champions! "" You're the best, champions! "
This feeling is surreal, but at that moment, I realized I was standing next to a true champion among men.
Since then, I have carefully studied Jabbar. On the pitch, not what people once skilled or scored as many points. OTC, some more than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become more involved in the promotion of Black History.

Comments: Immigration Department demonstrates how political incentives
It is amazing how fast it's moving in Washington when the right incentives in place. Political incentives, and immigration reform may be just one recent example. The results of the election, and demographic driving it, just delete a political punishment for those who want to fix a broken immigration system.
Now, it is not support immigration reform whether the activists will get what they want, but everyone in Washington, especially the GOP, whether it will become a part of it.
Obviously, a lot has been scrambling to fill these slots. Less than a week after the election, a key Republican and Democratic senators, speaking through immigration reform, including to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
This week, U.S. President Barack Obama said, was re-elected on his first news conference since the dialogue between the White House and members of Congress have started on this issue, increase a bill that may soon launch " "This is in Univision in an interview with reporters, he said, if re-elected, he will attempt the first year, his second term promise to pass immigration reform things."
Even Sean Hannity, Fox News conservative political commentator, announced his position on immigration "evolved." Now, he supported the 11 million illegal immigrants living in this country, work and pay taxes citizenship means.
If the current political environment is not enough, the support of the public side of this issue. It is estimated that 57 percent of Americans said they would support a plan to allow undocumented immigrants to live here legal rights, according to the latest ABC News / Washington Post "poll. Rise to the figure of the Hispanic community about 8 every 10 Latinos support legal status for undocumented immigrants.
The total share of Hispanic voters increased significantly, bringing the power of much-needed community has been trying to be reflected in policy, designed to advance its agenda, the impact of its number.
Power and influence, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center, is only going to increase. The number of people eligible to vote in the next two decades, the Hispanic people will nearly double, from 23.7 million to about $ 4 billion. If 11 percent of voters gave the power of the Hispanic people, affect the results of this election, 16 percent in 2032, to help them shape the game.
However, the Republicans may find it difficult to get a chair at this table. This is because Obama's like Romney opinions how generous, Hispanic He won the presidential election will only scare away more Hispanics. Even the older the more socially conservative on behalf of, the better to the Republican way may go away.
For those who wish to reshape the Republican Latinos eye image most sincere choice, everyone is talking about an honest, open and forward-thinking way to solve this problem. This is true, may not be able to ensure that immigration reform, Hispanic voters to embrace the Republican Party, but the Republicans win back the White House, 11 million undocumented people living in this country are not resolved will have a harder time.
