In a key development, the US President Barack Obama has apparently informed the Latino pressure organizations that he will leave no stones whatsoever unturned to suitably reform the nation’s immigration arrangement during 2013. However, the president, at first, sought their assistance to bring the derailed train of the national economy back on track.
Obama participated in a conference call with the chiefs of several Hispanic US pressure groupings recently and he pledged that he would throw the might of the his government behind the movement to duly improve and streamline the immigration structure during 2013. Meanwhile, a person involved with the conference has observed that as soon the nation manages to fruitfully pay attention to the fiscal cliff subjects, the president would actively get associated with the proposed immigration restructurings.
It requires to be mentioned here that the fiscal cliff is the accepted expression for two amendments made in the national taxes & public spending which will come into force on January 2nd 2013, until and unless the two key political groups–the Democratic Party and the Republican Party–in Washington cooperate. Until and unless these groupings reach an accord on the national debt by the given date, the US will have to begin to repay the national debt at a staggering rate of $109 billion per annum.
Besides, the tax cuts brought-in by the former US President George W Bush way back during 2001–which were restricted until 2013–will conclude, in the process, leading to a situation wherein several nationals have no options except to give extra tax. Some financial experts claim that the decrease in spending by the administration & enhanced taxes would take the country back to economic meltdown.
At the present, Obama is allegedly talking with the Republicans in the US capital, Washington DC, even as he has strongly advised the Latino groupings and others to bring the power of people to the surface to tilt the balance in his favor, at the cost of his Republican opponents.
Latino groupings are sustaining the pressure in the capital, and there would be a chain of events there around the time of the swearing-in of Obama, sometime during mid-January. Further, the voters from the Hispanic community are being motivated, and asked to tell their delegates to do something in this direction.
In a related development, some tacticians from the Republican Party observe that–in case the Republicans take on an anti-immigration stand–they would find it harder to emerge victorious as the demographic structure of the nation undergoes important and noticeable changes.
