It is possible to pass comprehensive immigration reform within Obama’s first or second year Congress needs to realize that our economic woes are directly linked with our workforce, and our workforce is made up of immigrants (both legal and illegal).

Obama has stated that America has nothing to fear from today’s immigrants. Immigrants hope that in America, they will build better lives for their families. Like the many immigrants that came before them and the Hispanic Americans whose families have been here for generations, the recent arrival of Latino immigrants will enrich America.

The president also said that getting new immigration laws passed will be difficult. Because the U.S. economy is in worse shape than two and three years ago, when immigration bills failed in Congress, he said it would be even more difficult to pass immigration reform now.

However, Obama suggested that pro-immigrant organizations to propose ideas on how to pass the reform through Congress. Also, before concentrating on immigration reform, he will focus on improving the system for legal immigration.

Since Obama took office, and in the middle of the economic crisis, pro-immigrant advocates have been waiting to hear concrete news from the White House on when the administration will begin to move forward on immigration reform. During his presidential campaign, Obama had said he would address the issue during his first year in office.

Economic difficulties cannot be solved without tackling the immigration problems like increasing work visa and legalizing the undocumented workforce. These immigrants contribute enormously to our economy by spending in our consumer market as well as contributing their skills and labor.

On 9.12.2009, we went to Washington DC to document the Tea Party protests against, well, a lot of things, including health insurance reform, the IRS, abortion, global warming, and our “socialist/communist/fascist/Nazi/Muslim” president, Barack Obama. Some of them called for a return to McCarthyism, while others called for Glenn Beck to run for office–indeed, it seemed the only thing that everyone agreed on was Fox News.

A NOTE ON CZARS: Some users have pointed out that White House “Czars” existed long before Ronald Reagan. As it turns out, Donald Nelson, appointed under FDR as a “Wartime Production Czar”, was the first. The Republican Gov. of Colorado, John A. Love, was later appointed under Nixon as an “Energy Czar”. We appreciate this correction, though such an oversight does not dilute our point. The current outcry against Czars is merely alarmist propaganda perpetuated by Glenn Beck and the rest of the right-wing media. JOIN OUR HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICA NOW!

Bob Hope was one of the funniest comedians back in the day. And, you never know when those hoards of zombie democrats will be coming for ya…

In the race for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, Rudolph Giuliani has been in the lead for many months. His lead in 2007 has been small but consistent over his closest competitor, Fred Thompson. The rest of the candidates in the Republican field trail these two candidates significantly in all the national polls. Mitt Romney has a very high voter unfavorable rating nationally and is positioned around ten percent. His advantage is that he leads in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan. John McCain’s campaign imploded months ago. Mike Huckabee’s campaign has only recently become viable in Iowa.

So the match up (at least for now) appears to feature Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson Rudy Giuliani even leads Hillary Clinton in a recent projected 2008 Presidential Election matchup by 44% to 41% according to a Rasmussen public opinion poll. So why is there an uneasy feeling in the Republican party about the person that was featured as the Time magazine 2001 “Person Of the Year” and who is often referred to by the American media as “America’s Mayor” (because of his strong leadership in New York after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001)?

Let’s examine the reasons why the Republican Party is wary of Rudy Giuliani:

- Rudy Giuliani is not conservative enough for Republican primary voters: Giuliani is viewed by 68% of Republican voters as liberal or moderate and has taken positions on abortion (pro-choice), gay rights (supported gay rights), and gun control (supports) that are clearly unfavorable to the party’s social conservative base.

- Rudy Giuliani does not have a background in U.S. foreign policy: While voters have historically never held this lack of experience against candidates that have been governors, it does highlight the fact that Guiliani only has a background as Mayor on his resume. Giuliani may be vulnerable to making major mistakes on foreign policy questions in debates.

– Questions exist concerning Giuliani’s security planning prior to 9/11: Jerome Hauer, New York’s emergency management director from 1996 to 2000, and a leading U.S. expert on biological and chemical terrorism, has stated that Giuliani was closely involved in locating the city’s crisis control room in the World Trade Center complex, even though it was a known terrorist target after the 1993 truck bomb attack which killed six people at the site. The decision on the location of the crisis control room proved disastrous in 2001 as the building was set ablaze in the collapse of the adjoining twin towers. Mr. Giuliani is also blamed by some in New York for failing to introduce an integrated emergency control system that failed to ensure co-ordination between the police and fire brigade, despite the need for coordination in the aftermath of the 1993 truck bombing.

- Rudy Giuliani’s personal background looks controversial in a general election campaign: Giuliani’s first marriage was to his second cousin, Regina Peruggi. They were married for 14 years, before Giuliani had their marriage annulled by the Catholic church. His second marriage was to Donna Hanover, a reporter and sometimes soap-opera actress. Immediately after Giuliani left office, he filed for divorce, accusing Hanover of “cruel and inhumane treatment.” In her response, Hanover blamed the ex-mayor’s “open and notorious adultery.” When their divorce was finalized, Hanover received a million dollars a year in alimony. He divorced Donna Hanover and married divorced nurse, Judith Nathan in 2006.

There are about four weeks until the voters begin to cast their ballots in the Republican primary and the race has been status quo for several months. Giuliani continues to hold a lead in the polls over conservative candidate Fred Thompson. All the other candidates are far back of the two leaders in the polls. This race is really about to begin. Giuliani has the name recognition and the leadership attributes that won voters favor after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, Giuliani holds positions that do not reflect the beliefs of the core base of the Republican party. He also may be vulnerable in a 2008 Presidential election battle with the Democratic Party based on his limited foreign policy experience and issues in his personal background.

The Democratic Party has a clear leader in their nomination battle in Hillary Clinton and that race may be over before the first primary vote is cast. For the Republican Party, the race for the nomination is still wide open and about to begin.

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are specific geographical regions that have economic laws different from and more liberal than a country’s typical economic laws. The goal is usually an increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.

There is a clear understanding that a well-implemented and designed SEZ can bring about many desired benefits for a host-country: increases in employment, FDI attraction, general economic growth, foreign exchange earnings, international exposure, and the transfer of new technologies and skills. Hence, many developing countries are also developing the SEZs with the expectation that they will provide the engines of growth for their economies to achieve industrialization. But for this to be successful their governments need to enact legislation, create a focused administrative infrastructure to govern special economic zones, offer highly attractive incentives and locate zones in the best possible locations. Overall investment climate (infrastructure, governance) in a country matters in the success of its special economic zones in terms of competitiveness.

One of the earliest and the most famous Special Economic Zones were founded by the government of the People’s Republic of China under Deng Xiaoping in the early 1980s. The most successful Special Economic Zone in China, Shenzhen, has developed from a small village into a city with a population over 10 million within 20 years. Following the Chinese examples, Special Economic Zones have been established in several other countries.

In the face of fierce regional competition, South Korea is also showing strong economic performance and can boast a highly skilled labor force. It has started working strategically towards attracting investment, including the establishment of its first special economic zone, called The Incheon Special Economic Zone and so look set to transform the country into a regional hub from which foreign companies can expand into other parts of Asia.

The Incheon special economic zone in the north revolves around the international airport, the creation of an international financial services district and Songdo’s “intelligent city”, which will include a 60-storey world trade centre, 60 office buildings, deluxe hotels, shopping malls and a golf course, due to be completed by 2008.

These economic zones are a strategy to make Korea (http://korea.ixs.net/) more attractive in the eyes of foreign investors and to draw them to the country.

The project includes a technology complex to house research centers and venture start-ups alongside the Korean Institute of Technology. Two more complexes, for biotechnology and for knowledge and information will be built by 2008.

These projects, which have high-level political backing, are supported by a package of generous financial incentives. Other incentives include simplified administrative procedures, heavily subsidized land leases on government owned land, tax breaks and linguistic support.

Situated directly between Japan and China, South Korea is at the centre of a vast Asian market with a total population of two billion, including 500 million in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, with which, along with China and Japan, Korea enjoys a special commitment to economic cooperation. North-east Asia alone accounts for about 24% of the world’s population and 19% of global production.

South Korea’s gateway strategy is designed to leverage its geographic and geocultural advantages while offering a new, friendly business face to potential investors in the form of SEZs in the southern part of the peninsula. Foreigners, foreign companies, and international economic organizations can be involved in free corporate activities in these economic zones offering a range of special advantages, including tax, labor, regulatory and other incentives.

South Korea is a cheaper location than Japan and more straightforward from a regulatory point of view than China, having opened its markets decades ago.

Generally, it is argued that the special economic zone concept is attractive because it is much easier to resolve the problems of infrastructure and governance on a limited geographical area than it is to resolve them countrywide. Such economic zones cannot be insulated from the broader institutional and economic context of the country and be treated as an economy within the economy. Zones are a part of the economy and require overall improvement in the investment climate to ensure success in the long run. They should not, therefore, be viewed as an alternative to the overall development model. This is perhaps the reason why SEZs failed to fulfill the role of engines of industrialization in most countries on a sustainable basis.

Political Parties in India have lost grounds

          The people of India shall be facing difficulties in casting their votes in general elections of 2009 because all the political parties and alliances have got no point with them with which they shall be approaching the voters and getting their votes.  The BJP had a point with them and that point-Hindutiva has lost grounds because the Hindus are with Congress too and very few Hindus shall be casting votes to the BJP because they know that if Hindutva comes to India, the Muslims, the Sikhs, the Christians shall not be happy and they shall start separation movements and then there shall be disturbance in India.  Peace is the final target of the voters of India because if peace is there, they shall go ahead and if there is disturbance, they shall not go ahead.

               There is an other movement and some people are planning to have a third front.  If they want that as third front be formed, they should try to unit the Dalits, the Sikhs, The Muslims and the Christians and if Communists too join with them, they shall form a strong third front and once they are established on throne, then the whole future shall be with them.  But here too the Lefts who are not one shall be hesitating with the Sikhs, the Muslims and the Christians and if they join with them, they shall not acceptable to others because they do not believe in God and the people who do not believe in God shall not be acceptable in India..

              Therefore, the people of India shall be facing a difficulty this time because none of the parties who had been ruling India could solve the problems of the people of India.  They are still illiterate, they are still unemployed, they are still poor, they are still without suitable living accommodation, they are still beggars, they are not in a position to send their small children to schools, they are still wearing rags, they are still starving and in spite of all efforts made so far, the government could not write off these problems of the people of India.

           This time too the political parties and alliances are not giving to the people of India some methods with which the political parties and alliances shall be writing off these problems of the people of India. 

            Time is still with the parties and alliances and they must come forward with some points which they shall follow during the coming tenure.  If they want, they must induct some experts and with their help they must draw policies and those policies be placed before the people.  And at the same time the people of India must come forward with points which could give new directions to the political parties.  The people are masters of this country and therefore it is their duty to bring out the points for the help of the governing parties.  Something should be done this time, because the people of India have already wasted about six decades under the slogans given by the political parties and this time the parties shall give wrong slogans to the people to get their votes.  Therefore, this time all must try to come forward with new outlook and at least they must stop wasting time from this general elections.
