Commentary: By Maria Cardona    As a Democrat, predictably, I find all of the presidential candidates and the policies they support anathema to everything I believe this country needs right now. Their “solutions” are regurgitated failures that have been tried before and are a big reason President Obama inherited an economy on the brink of [...]

By Danya P. Hernandez Scripps Howard Foundation Wire WASHINGTON– Hundreds of spectators cheered and applauded as President Barack Obama promised to work to pass the Dream Act, which would allow some young immigrants to become U.S. citizens.     “I will do everything in my power to make the Dream Act a reality,” he said.     [...]

Comentario: Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D    Un incremento de impuestos a la clase llamada “superricos” es una medida razonable si tomamos en cuenta que este grupo contribuye, en términos relativos, menos que las clases medias.    El presidente Barack Obama clama justicia. Por eso dentro de su paquete económico incluyó un incremento de los impuestos [...]

Comentario: Por Maribel Hastings America’s Voice    Mientras Barack Obama hablaba ante el Congreso y la nación de la urgencia de aprobar su plan de creación de empleos y las cámaras mostraban la reacción de algunos líderes republicanos que prefieren que el barco se hunda antes de colaborar con este presidente, imaginé qué pasaría si [...]

Perspectiva: Por Rafael Prieto Zartha     Los  funcionarios de inmigración de la administración del presidente Barack Obama recularon y la Casa Blanca comenzó a hacer lo correcto al utilizar su discreción administrativa para evitar que continúe el devastador tsunami indiscriminado de deportaciones que ya superó el millón de expulsados, en su enorme mayoría hispanos.     [...]

Commentary: By Cecilia Muñoz    As too often happens in the debate over immigration, anger and heated rhetoric from all sides dominate while the facts tend to get lost along the way. So it’s important to set the record straight. Fixing the broken immigration system so that it meets America’s economic and security needs has [...]

Commentario: Por Rafael Prieto Zartha    Los funcionarios del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) de la administración del presidente Barack Obama están haciendo todo lo posible para que quienes votamos por el actual mandatario en 2008, no repitamos el error en 2012.    Sus subordinados del Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE) ya [...]

Conceding to bad people on issues like the debt ceiling makes Obama complicity Commentary: By Rodolfo F. Acuña    Watching the end of Round One of Barack Obama’s capitulation over the debt ceiling, I thought to myself: “They are not nice people,” referring to the President and members of Congress who were falling all over [...]

Commentary: By Augie Bareno    The Tea Party punked Obama on the debt ceiling issue, no doubt, in fact the head of the Congressional Black Caucus called the agreement a “Satan Sandwich.” Essentially, the Republicans and the Tea Party Locos got everything and the president, the democrats, the middle class, seniors and the poor get [...]

By Douglas E. Schoen    Although President Obama continues to meet with top House and Senate Republicans in an effort to reach a budget agreement before the August 2nd deadline for raising the debt limit, it is unclear how far-reaching the final deal will be.    Obama wants to achieve the boldest possible package through [...]

Commentary: By Matthew Hoh    As he was announcing his second increase in troops for Afghanistan in December 2009, President Obama promised that by July 2011 those troops would begin coming home. As relayed by Bob Woodward’s book, Obama’s Wars, we know the president was skeptical about the United States’ war effort in Afghanistan. In [...]

 Perspective By William O. Beeman New America Media     President Obama is now doing something politically difficult — drawing down our troops from Afghanistan. However difficult it will be for the president to weather his Washington critics, it is the right decision politically and militarily.     The United States has been fighting in Afghanistan for [...]

On immigration reform, deportations, the DREAM Act, and many more issues. ¡Usted si puede, Sr. Presidente! Commentary: By Alberto Marrero Salas    President Obama states that he can’t bypass Congress on immigration matters. Yes we know that the teabaggers will not support any type of comprehensive immigration reform.    We also know, Mr. President, that [...]

Comentario: Por Mike Brownfield    El desempleo en Estados Unidos aumentó de nuevo el pasado mes hasta el 9.1% y la economía Obama añadió solo 54,000 empleos — la menor cifra en ocho meses. El terrible informe de empleo de la semana pasada, mucho peor de lo esperado. Los economistas que encuesta Dow Jones Newswires [...]

Commentary: By Alvaro Huerta    Americans love winners, and if President Obama scores more victories like the ones he has enjoyed over the last two months, he will easily win re-election.    For the first two years of his term, Obama, to the chagrin of his supporters, mostly remained silent while his opponents maliciously maligned [...]

México del Norte Por Jorge Mújica Murias     Barack Obama está en campaña, definitivamente, y como todo político en campaña está prometiendo el oro y el moro. En particular, está prometiéndole a la comunidad latina que “ahora si”, que ahora que lo reelijan si va a haber reforma migratoria, pero al mismo tiempo asegura que [...]

Guest Editorial: By Rinku Sen    The big question about whether President Obama’s speech on immigration is more politics than policy won’t actually be answered for several months. Clearly, he has decided to put immigration policy on the agenda, having done something on the issue nearly every day of the past week, including meeting with [...]
