Immigration Politics: Obama administration needs to reform messaging on immigration issue

Obama administration needs to reform messaging on immigration issue: " President Obama's attempt yesterday to send the Latino community the message that immigration reform is still on his agenda needs to stop dwelling on that message and focus on a new one that sells the issue to critics.

The new message has to start changing the tone of the conversation from one of "Immigration reform is nothing more than granting amnesty" to "Immigration reform is an economic necessity to get the United States back on a profitable path."

It's an assertion that economists and financial analysts have repeated when quizzed about the state of the economy, especially in light of Standard & Poor's recent negative rating of the nation's credit credibility.
The fact of the matter is if it were not for the immigrant -- undocumented and legal residents -- this country would have as bad an outlook as some European and Asian countries who can no longer count on a "next" generation."
