Democratic Party propose a win-win strategy to immigrant Voters.



American political parties nowadays can’t avoid the migration issues to their country. Nowadays, Hispanic, Latin and Afro-American people are minorities sectors on the American population and at this rate, minorities will become majorities. This is the main reason why Democrats are focusing on having a good relation with this ethnical groups, and it can be confirmed with the last political survey on USA: the ratio preference for the Democratic Party of Latin voters is 3:1 against the rival party.
Even though for this minorities groups, the migration issue is not the most important, because they focus more on the economic issue, for the Democratic Party, migration is on the top 3 of their priorities issues on agenda. Mainly, because of this, the minority ethnical groups (mainly Latin American people9 prefers this party.
Nowadays the best strategy that the Democratic Party have for getting in touch with the minorities groups is a plan called “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act”, this plans mainly stands for the irregular workers, with any granted right, to become a worker with a legal and recognized status for USA, and later, have a reasonable chance of acquiring the legal USA Citizenship.
This strategy could sound repetitive, but Democrats propose this, because (as I wrote) they attack two strategic points on the minority-USA relationship: They give boost for a growing economy in the USA (minority mainly interest) and they regularize the migration status of a almost 1/3 of population in USA.
Another good point of this initiative is that includes all kind of socioeconomic sectors of the migration people to the USA: it propose special visas for the entrepreneurs, visas for the low-skill temporary workers and even special visas for master degree students, maybe so many kinds of visas sounds like a more burocratic paperwork but the democratic party, with this proposal wants to pay more attention of the immigrant needs in order to understand what they want/need and gaining more followers.
Democratic Party is also innovating in the way the want to know the immigrants and want to get a legal citizenship in the USA, they´re trying to give legal citizenship to immigrants, not because they labor force, they want to take in account their family relation, history, professional skills and social participation in American territory, such a like the Adopting a points-based immigration system in UK and Canada.
This party is gaining migrant followers because Democratic wants to understand the minorities needs and with that information they want to take actions, for most of Americans this is offensive because they say that their own government is giving extra attention to people that are no Americans but, the truth is that at this rate American citizens by born will be a minority in their own country, so is a good action plan to start including immigrants into the political agenda.

  1. Good work, but does the DREAM act concern the current Latino Vote? People who are illegally in US or even haven't moved to US yet cannot vote. So you see this as a very long term strategy, say for 2020?
