Re: Its the republicans and the economy!
I know most of the immigrant community support Democrats assuming that they support immigrants.
Yes, Democrats support immigrants like illegal immigrants, Religious workers, TPS, ..... Family immigration, but Republicans actually support Employment based immigration since they have lot of support from large corporates and large corporates support employment based immigration.
As far as Clinton era is concerned he happened to there in the right time. PERIOD.
Clinton has to thank Elder Bush for his success against Iraq in previous war. The ten years following the war was golden era worlwide which can be attributed to food for oil deal with Iraq. Why France and German are crying like wolfs this time for war against Iraq , this is just because they want their share of cake(similar to which they enjoyed last time after Iraq war).
Obviously economy will reverse in the near future due to
1. US success in Iraq (some call it invasion, whatever may be it is)
2. Well tested tax cut plan
3. Outsourcing - US companies will make more profits so they will make more profits and reinvest which will create more jobs in US, if they don't make more profits due to outsourcing then these companies will stop outsourcing, so again more jobs in US.
We all very well know that slow processing of GC is not due to Republicans' policy or Democrats' policy, it is all due to 9/11 attackers and their supporters since all the political parties immigration policy these days revolves around security and not around economy. Even I accept this policy, since first we have to be alive then we can think of food.
