Jeb Bush – författare

The immigration debate has challenged our nation since its founding. But today, it divides Americans more stridently than ever, due to a chronic failure of national leadership by both parties. Here at last is an attainable resolution guided by two core principles: first, immigration is vital to America’s future; second, any enduring resolution must adhere to the rule of law. Unfortunately, current laws are so cumbersome and irrational that millions have circumvented them and entered the United States illegally, taxing our system to the breaking point. Jeb Bush and Clint Bolick contend there are other unique factors currently at play: America’s future population expansion will come solely from immigrants. And for the first time, the U.S. must compete with other countries for immigrant workers and their skills. In the first book to offer a practical, nonpartisan approach, Bush and Bolick propose a compelling six-point strategy for reworking our policies that begins with erasing all existing, outdated immigration structures and starting over. From there, Immigration Wars details their plan for advancing the national goals that immigration policy is supposed to achieve: build a demand-driven immigration system; increase states’ autonomy based on varying needs; reduce the significant physical risks and financial costs imposed by illegal immigration; unite Mexico and America in their common war against drug cartels; and educate aspiring citizens in our nation’s founding principles and why they still matter. Here too is a viable variation of the DREAM Act as a legal status for children brought here illegally, and sound strategies for the Republican Party to revitalize their ever-decreasing core constituency. With Immigration Wars as a beacon of hope, Americans can finally solidify a national identity that is based on a set of ideals enriched and reinvigorated by immigrants, most of whom fervently embrace our core values—family, faith, hard work, education, and patriotism.

Del antiguo gobernador republicano de Florida y uno de los litigantes constitucionales principales llega una mirada oportuna y provocativa de uno de los temas más divisivos que enfrenta la nación hoy en día: la inmigración. Una nueva propuesta de seis puntos para la política inmigratoria que se planta sobre la ley y honra el más grande de los valores estadounidenses: la libertad. El debate sobre la inmigración ha sido un reto para esta nación desde su fundación. Pero hoy en día, divide a los americanos con más estridencia que nunca, debido a un fracaso crónico de liderazgo a nivel nacional por parte de ambos partidos. Finalmente tenemos una solución alcanzable guiada por dos principios centrales: primero, la inmigración es vital para el futuro de los Estados Unidos; segundo, cualquier solución perdurable se debe adherir a la ley. En el primer libro que ofrece un enfoque práctico e imparcial, Bush y Bolick proponen una convincente estrategia de seis puntos para revisar nuestras políticas, la cual comienza con borrar todas las estructuras inmigratorias existentes y anticuadas y volver a empezar. Con Las guerras inmigratorias como rayo de esperanza, los estadounidenses finalmente pueden solidificar una identidad nacional que está basada en un conjunto de ideales enriquecido y revitalizado por los inmigrantes, quienes en su mayoría aceptan fervorosamente nuestros valores fundamentales: la familia, la fe, el trabajo, la educación y el patriotismo.
