Anyone who considers running for president has a lot to consider before making the commitment. It really should be an alignment between what the country needs and what the candidate has to offer. In so doing, the candidate needs to evaluate his or her position on foreign policy, domestic policy, social issues, and the like. One of these societal issues that special interest for a NJ immigration lawyer is immigration. But there have been times during which I have wondered if other people share my interest in immigration.
Despite its importance, how many Americans truly worry about immigration policy? Well, there are currently 41.3 million documented immigrants living in the United States, representing close to 8% of the US population. That is a major demographic no candidate can take for granted. The most commonly discussed issues are foreign policy and military spending, and the economy. Immigration plays a role into all of those.
With the increased attention immigration is receiving as a result of President Obama’s executive actions, we are likely to see an increase in the discussion of this topic. The democratic candidates will likely defend President Obama’s actions and promote similar reforms. In fact, Hillary Clinton has already said she would go farther than President Obama did. Whereas the republican candidates are likely to attack these actions on some level, and foster a focus on border security. In fact, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Marco Rubio, Governor Jeb Bush, and Governor Rick Perry have supported some form of immigration reform in the past. There are also the Sen Ted Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul, who have consistently voted against reform. The fact that Republican candidates are not of one mind on the subject guarantees that it will come up in the Republican primaries.
Here are some questions each candidate will have to answer as they wade into the immigration debate:
As candidates start to crystallize their position on immigration, pay attention to what they say and don’t say. Don’t fall for the spin. Politicians are great at telling you what you want to hear but meaning something else entirely. Don’t fall for it. Listen to what they say and write and review these questions to see where they actually fall.
