Broken & Obsolete...Immigation in America

I’ve been a big fan of Fareed Zakaria.   I just read his article, regarding his opinion on immigration, in last weeks’ Time Magazine.   You may…or may not agree with Mr. Zakaria…but reading the article is time well spent…IMHO!

“As the American economy sags, the race for the presidency gets tighter--except in one dimension.   Hispanic Americans continue to support Barack Obama by an astonishing 61%-to-27% margin.   Were Obama to win, it might well be because of his attitudes on one issue: immigration.   But it is an issue on which he will be unable to enact any of his preferences, let alone those policies that many Latinos support.   The Republican Party has taken a tough stand on the topic.   Democrats have their own bright lines.   That means America's immigration system is likely to stay as it is right now--utterly broken.”

Read the full article here…and there’s a one hour special, hosted by Zakaria, on CNN tonight!
