Latino Republican Letter to the President

“To Whom It May Concern,

Over these last few years our country has become increasingly concerned over the state of our current immigration policy. While Congress has successfully passed everything from a new energy bill to new trade agreements like DR-CAFTA, lower taxes and ever more spending bills, the one issue, which remains unchallenged, is that of illegal immigration. We, the members of www.latinorepublican.com, feel that it is high time that Congress tackles this very real problem before its too late. We are a concerned group of Latinos who feel that our vote is being taken for granted at our expense. We would like to see representatives of both parties in Congress quit there squabbling, face this issue head on and provide us with comprehensive immigration reform, which includes a guest worker program and increased border security.

There are currently an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States today. Many of these undocumented immigrants have come from Mexico and other Latin American countries seeking work and better wages. Some of the undocumented immigrants have been here for decades. But, because they are working in the country “illegally’ they are easy targets for unscrupulous employers. These workers are needed to do the work most Americans wont do and it is in the business community’s best interest to have a guest worker program. This would give American business a steady supply of wiling low skilled workers which are becoming ever more scarce while our demand for it continues to rise. While some may say this is the result of greedy American business what is lost in this argument is that in the end the ones who benefit are our nations economy with increased revenue and an increased GDP. This would give businesses more profits to expand and higher even more skilled employees, which require higher education. That would be to the benefit of the American employee. This is a win-win situation for American business and employees. This makes immigrants a net gain for our country despite the perceived drain on resources that come from having an increased population.”…
