Colin Powell on Immigration

Written by Simon

Monday, 10 September 2007

In an interview with GQ magazine former secretary of State and one-time potential presidential candidate Colin Powell has this to say about immigration:

"America could not survive without immigration," he says. "Even the undocumented immigrants are contributing to our economy. That's the country my parents came to. That's the image we have to portray to the rest of the world: kind, generous, a nation of nations, touched by every nation, and we touch every nation in return. That's what people still want to believe about us. They still want to come here. We've lost a bit of the image, but we haven't lost the reality yet. And we can fix the image by reflecting a welcoming attitude -- and by not taking counsel of our fears and scaring ourselves to death that everybody coming in is going to blow up something. It ain't the case."

Como siempre hemos observado las personas que a nuestro entender tenemos un poco de vision, que la inmigracion es una de los motores claves del desarrollo economico no solo de las grandes potencias si no de todos los paises, nos complace saber que un hombre de la talla del general colin powel se identifique con esta causa. Rechazando el pensamiento retrogrado, senofobico y racista de los extremistas de ultraderecha, y que tanto daño le han echo al mundo y al propio pueblo estadounidiense.
