More than two centuries separate us from that historic Congress in Philadelphia where American independence was enshrined. I remember a quote from Benjamin Franklin on the birth of a new nation confined to the rigors of a constitution open to progress: Where Liberty Dwells, There is my country, where liberty dwells there is the homeland. The foundations of democracy have the correlative legal support based on the primacy of the constitutionality of laws. In its merit, I believe that the current legislation on immigration does not meet constitutional principles with foundations, but rather plays a state of frenzy in the political arena of the power groups.
Now, this witch-hunt by the State of Arizona against undocumented evidence of a growing radicalization of a racist from the most conservative establishment. This paranoia nineteenth century in Samuel Huntington was one of the main arsonists. In an article in Science Policy (The mexican challenge, In: Foreign Policy, March / April, 2004) sentencing came on the need to stop by any means daring to undocumented Latinos. The fear of the late Harvard professor was none other than the imminent fusion of North America. The historical identity is not an immovable behemoth, is rather a synthesis system subject to profound changes.
So I think the turning point in this historic period is not only the political and social power, but also the cultural dynamics and the economic impact of migrants. The arrests segregationist always arise in times of economic crisis. Remember only post-war fascism in Europe. In short, the immigration law in Arizona is in the ideological consolidation of the far right in times of financial crisis, which of course was caused by bankers and speculators WASP. Politically attitude shows a total wimp by the Obama administration. It's time to pull the chestnuts out of fire. We need federal legislation on migration as a beacon having the Constitution. Under no circumstances may allow a breakdown of the legality of the law.
This will put a stop to the nineteenth-century outbursts of the conservative right is thinking even break the foundation of the Fourteenth Amendment, which expressly advocates the status of citizen of every human being born in the U.S.. Under all the mestizaje concept is part of a dynamic of people growing and developing in the ways of democracy, which brings together not only consensus but also prospects different on the same route to social progress. Well, yes, where liberty dwells, there is the homeland. The homeland for all. Undocumented migrants God Bless!
