Lista-Latina.com CEO O’Brien Applauds Bush Immigration Proposal

Applauds Bush Immigration Stand


 

I applaud President Bush’s stand for the rights of Latino immigrants.  Immigrants who make a tough choice of leaving families behind to endure the long, rigorous, sometimes deadly trek through the desert, and now, across a border lined with trigger-ready civilian Minutemen.  Theirs’ is a path of desperation, not choice.   Poverty, hunger and no sight of a brighter future would send anyone on a quest for a better life.

 

The National Guard will not resolve the administrative land-mine employers face processing paperwork to hire legally.  Visas are labor intensive and HR nightmares for companies with many immigrant employees.  A streamlined application process needs to be created, then employers would have no reason for non-compliance and immigrants could rise out of the shadows as defenseless migrants who are helping fill a need for employers in the U.S.
