MIGRANT REFORM

The migrants with their architecture in its houses
México. - The migrants are large investors in its towns of origin upon sending money remittances to buy housing: purchase construction, repair, adjustment and acquisition of a urban batch. This construction is in large reality and with good architecture aspects. They build its houses in the ‘ejidos’ being emphasized its design urban type of great City of The States. The large people migrants prefer the houses of the center buying them to inflated prices then collapse and finally build.

The modernization and urbanization process of many peoples of Mexico is due to the investments of the migrants. In past decades they were the principal promoting to put telephone lines that needed to be communicated with their relations. They were investing in the square of the people, were donating chairs, were arranging the Church, and were transacting the pavement of the streets and the drainage of houses. Without place to doubt the principal activity of these peoples is the construction. The bricklayers, assistants, plumbers, electricians, blacksmiths and painters live temporarily of this constructive fever. Contrast the classic symbols of the rural means with the double cabin pickup trucks and the cars that were brought of United States contraband.

The migrant reform
In its speech pronounced by Barak Obama, in El Paso, TX (May 10, 11), it announced his decision of impelling a migrant reform in the Congress of its country and requested to the Latin American local community that "add voices to this discussion", to effect that Washington knows that there is a movement in favor of the reform that force earns coast to coast. “Thus we will achieve it". Upon assuming his president charge we would recall that had several proposals for his government that there was of beginning, between them recall to: the migrant reform proposal; the close of the base of Guantánamo in Cuba; the reform to the American health system; and the end of the war in Iraq.

This migrant reform is one of the points of his presidential campaign more awaiting, which earned to him the large part friendliness of the Hispanic bond and of the electorate advanced in 2009. In spite of the heap of grants that accomplished to the 'establishment' and to the most conservative sectors, the most positive aspects of its campaign agenda the president was not capable of exciting, about migrant topic, a sufficient legislative support and necessary throughout its first half of government: the Senate to the contrary rejected the proposal called 'Dream Act', document that would grant to the born youths abroad the possibility of be converted into legal residents after happening two years in the university or in the armed forces .

In the last two years of government of Obama have been intensified the xenophobia and racism expressions inside and outside of the normative frameworks, as was expressed with the approval of the SB1070 Law by the Congress of Arizona. After with the rout of the Party that represents to Obama, the Democrat party with its performance in the intermediate elections of past November were seeming be have diluted all the opportunities so that the Mr. President could in the House of Representatives take steps meaningful in the direction change in multiple aspects that requires the American society.

With these precedents and the assassination of Osama Bin Laden that the conservative sectors more recalcitrant applauded, they have given to him to the political chief a unexpected political force endowing it quickly of a maneuver margin before its republican counterparts, returning to re-position him front to the joint of their/its political opposes. In such circumstance is possible that the migrant reform has now more possibilities of be endorsed by the Capitol than when was controlled by a legislative majority democrat.

The contingent legislative approval of the amendment would be considered paradoxical seeing it in perspective since would be impelled by an action that any way you look at it was tried to an act to State terrorism and confirms the continuity to be warlike and unilateral between the current occupant of the White House and its antecedent. The multiple factors that they are impacting in this re-arrangement of political positions in Washington, it is inevitable as soon as possible that the authorities of the country of the bars and the stars, deliver as soon as possible, a road so that million of undocumented migrants that work in the country are adjusted, and that they will be subject of tangible and effective governmental protection, taking into account to represents one of the groups but vulnerable and that more collaborate without social protection in the country where live.

Finally the approval of the migrant reform will depend on the negotiation that are managed and developed to the interior of the current political class; in this decision impacts also the social mobilization capacity that the migrants could show in the neighboring nation. It is hoped that the sectors of the migrant population exercise in the legislators a political and social pressure, accomplishing a counterweight to the xenophobic sectors and chauvinists of The States that are opposed to the authorization and regularization of the population without governmental documents. Certainly it is paradoxical that the Anglo-Saxon population would be opposed to the authorization of the Mexican migrant population if the Anglo-Saxons arrived of Europe without papers and the Mexicans and indigenous already were living in these American lands of God.
