US needs immigration reforms to boost economy

When millionaire businessman Sheldon Adelson does not like beating around the bush, and in his last message to the Republicans who have always supported with generous contributions, not mince words: U.S. needs immigration reform that gives a solution to the situation of the 11 million people living illegally in the country and are necessary to boost the economy. ” Let’s be realistic,” he said.

“The United States has no -real or imaginary – process to deport 11 million people. That position is simply not realistic. There is no magic wand to solve the task. Nor should it be,” says Las Vegas mogul – who wanted to take Madrid Eurovegas – in a column in the Politico newspaper published Thursday. Nor should allow the Democratic Party is the only identified with immigration because he warns. “Democrats have no monopoly of hearts. As a Republican, I think the efforts to complete the immigration reform should be led by our party, ” he insists.

Adelson is not alone, far from it, when to push for immigration reform. In the same week, also the powerful media mogul Rupert Murdoch used his newspaper The Wall Street Journal to advocate for this cause. ” If we really want to improve the economic future and create jobs in America, we have to realize that it is suicidal to suggest we close our doors to entrepreneurs in the world, or worse, continue large-scale deportations “, held the Australian U.S. citizen.

Two days, two opinion columns of two of the most influential men of the right supporting immigration reform bill the great democrat Barack Obama for his second term, after the Senate approved in late June 2013, languishing in the lower house of Congress, Republicans dominate.

The publication of articles coincided with the election of the California Congressman Kevin McCarthy as the new leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. It will replace Eric Cantor, which caused an earthquake in the conservative ranks, losing in the primary in his district of Virginia against previously unknown David Brat, the populist Tea Party.

Not a few analysts and politicians who wanted to separate the issue of immigration from defeat of Cantor, especially his lack of connection with their electorate. Still, also abound that believe his unexpected electoral setback as the ” final nail that sealed the coffin of immigration reform.” Because while Cantor was considered one of the biggest obstacles for immigration reform in the House, his opponent accused him of being too warm in this area during the primary campaign.

“Some politicians argue that this is not the time to bring the full Congress on immigration reform, that it encourage more extreme candidates, especially on the right,” says Murdoch in his article. “You may be right in the short-term policy, but are totally wrong in the long-term interests of our country,” he says.

And not only the country, also the Republican Party itself. Murdoch and Adelson have no doubt about its conservatism. Neither of his loyalty to the Republican Party, which supports the checkbook and their media platforms, with Murdoch’s Fox network flagship right. There are also solos: also have long pushed for immigration – that reform provides a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, but with many conditions and a wait of up to 13 years and will also linked to increased security measures along the southern border of country – Charles and David Koch brothers, who are fifth and sixth in the list of world’s richest and staunch opponents of the Obama administration, or the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the largest business lobby in the country.

Although the Latino voter, like many other Americans, is also concerned about general topics like the economy, health and education, after years of hard anti-immigrant rhetoric – with ultraconservative expressions as ” amnesty” or ” self-deportation ” – immigration reform has become for many a personal matter.

With summer just around the corner and the parliamentary elections in November recess day for the House to act at once on migration already counted on the fingers of the hand.

One more reason to complain, as Adelson says, ” a dose of reality for those who use to 11 million people by political games.”
