Miami.- The presidents Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan (1981-1989), have several aspects in common. Both came from the Republican party, they are bold leaders, famous politicians and Outsiders right -wing that challenged the status quo. In addition, they understood What matters to the American people. Trump maintains a portrait of Reagan hung on the oval office.
The editor Jeff Mayhugh said that within his policies, Reagan promulgated in 1986 the Immigration control and reform law which reinforced border security granted a path to citizens for almost 2.7 million immigrants. This step resulted in a reduction of 3 to 5% of crime, higher labor income and productivity, greater tax revenues, an impulse to consumers’s expenditure and the growth of business spirit.
In the middle of the deportation plan announced and applied by the Trump administration, after its return to power on January 20, sum 37,660 deported peopleaccording to the figures of the Department of National Security. The number of deportees is expected to increase in the coming months.
Tom Homan, in charge of the border issue, said it is only the “initial stage of mass deportations.” He indicated that Washington is concentrating on first expeling migrants who represent a “threat to national security.”
Jeff Mayhugh recalled that the Congress of the USA He has not legislated immigration during the last three decades.
“Americans are tired of stagflation (inflation and stagnant economy) and inaction. Trump should work with Congress to take the United States immigration system to the technological era and at the same time respect the balance of authority between the state and federal governments that united our Republic. The immigration system should be designed to satisfy the national interests of the United States, the state interests and interests of the US people. A stratified approach is needed that includes the authority of individual states, allowing them to manage their immigration requests and criteria to accept applicants that fit local needs, “said Jeff Mayhugh.
He added that the immigration reform should provide a clear and structured path towards citizens for those who already reside in the US: “To qualify, such ‘immigrants on the road’ must meet several criteria, including obtaining a job offer, paying administrative rates, approveing a citizenship exam and an exhaustive verification of antecedents, and demonstrating mastery of English.”
In his opinion, if it is allowed as Reagan said that many “leave the shadows” and participate in the formal economy would stimulate growth and generate new jobs. It would also increase tax revenues by approximately 40.2 billion dollars a year, and potentially generating 1.5 billion dollars for the Nation’s GDP in 10 years.
Leadership in the United States
For Jeff Mayhugh, although they have taken different paths towards leadership, Trump and Reagan coincide in the policies of seeking rational solutions for the US working class.
He believes that while the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) works with Congress to reduce unnecessary expenditure and eliminate bureaucracy, President Trump “could adopt a more statesman approach” and adopt Reagan -style reforms “that renew optimism in the American economy and people.”
