Washington, D.C. - The moment is upon us, with the latest DREAM Act failure to pass and any future passage of an immigration reform bill looks bleak. What's next on the national Hispanic agenda to influence immigration reform? In brief, Hispanics have formed national networks to communicate, have flex their voting power multiple times, and have a multi-billion dollar purchasing wealth. But, what good does it do for Latinos, if they can't manage their spending dollar?
The most empowering strategic move today, is for Latinos in the U.S. to spread the word through texting, e-mails and social networks, to advocate and engage in limited spending. Latinos should buy bare essentials only and support businesses that support immigration reform. Don't over spend, but spend within Latino communities.
Latinos need to adapt by managing their economic buying power of an estimated $1.3 trillion by 2013. Hispanics managing their earned money and where to spend it should last until an immigration reform bill is passed.
Latinos throughout the U.S. should step up a notch and keep a tight grip on their money. Hispanics are loved and credited for their ability to spend money, purchasing products, a lack to save and pouring billions of dollars into the economy benefiting America's financial enterprizes and government. These enterprizes, government and politicians have taken Latinos for granted for so long because they can't control their spending power and it's time to change that stigma. Join the movement by limiting your spending and managing your dollar's buying power. Spend the dollar where it counts and brings you the outmost satisfaction to influence change in America.
On Saturday, the DREAM Act failed to pass the U.S. Senate by 5 votes, 55-14 vote result, 60 votes were needed to move for cloture and than a final vote on bill H.R. 5281.
Five Democrats voted no and three Republicans voted yes to move forward with HR 5281. Here's how these Senators voted; Republicans who voted to advance the bill were Senators, Bob Bennett (R-Utah), Richard Lugar (R-Indiana) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). Democrats against it included Max Baucus (D-Montana), Jon Tester (D-Montana), Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska), Kay Hagan (D-North Carolina), and Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas).
The action taken by the U.S. Senate is a major set back for the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) and the change over on January will even make more difficult to advance and approve any type of immigration reform bill. Republicans will have control of the U.S. House in January and mostly won't pass any immigration reform bill for the next several years.
In early December, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report indicated that the approval of the DREAM Act would help cut the federal deficit by $1.4 billion, and generate $2.3 billion in corporate and social insurance taxes within the next ten years. http://bit.ly/fk6B3N
The House had passed the DREAM Act by 216-198.
In recent years, America has been kept out of bankruptcy by the undocumented workers share of billions of tax dollars they have contributed into the federal government for decades, which they don't claim. They even supported the Social Security fund, which they don't claim when they retire and the tax dollar flow continues from undocumented workers in the U.S. The CBO has never provided a comprehensive report on these accumilative tax funds.
The DREAM Act would have provided a pathway to citizenship for undocumented students who were brought to the U.S. at a young age of 16 and lived in the U.S. for five years. Students must have graduated from a credited high school or have completed the G.E.D., have good moral character, pass a background check and complete at least two years of college or military service.
