There is a gap between the "internal and the external" regarding the conversations in the White House for Immigration Reform, that includes members of the Obama cabinet and high ranking officials, said the director of America's Voice, Frank Sharry.

He (Sharry) considered, that the decision of maintaining a low public profile could be analized as a political strategy in order to prevent the anti-immigrant groups from organizing and movilizing to fight against any type of relief for immigrants.

We the people need to be high profile, vigilant, in our objections to any attempts at amnesty. I made a couple of calls today to get that message out.

White House pushes private efforts for immigration reform

Washington .- The private efforts being made by the White House on immigration reform contrasts with the brief mention of the issue that made Barack Obama the U.S. President in his speech on the state of the union, activists said today.

There is a gap between "internal and external" on the talks at the White House for immigration reform, including cabinet members and senior Obama said the director of the organization America's Voice, Frank Sharry.

The Democrats went into "panic" with the loss of one seat in Massachusetts, which vacated the deceased "liberal lion" Edward Kennedy, which could affect attempts to reform the health system and other initiatives, said the activist press .

The message now directs the work by high unemployment, but politicians must keep their promises with bipartisan efforts to restore the confidence of voters in this election year, especially independents, he said.

Sharry said that it has been shown that migration is not an issue likely to prevent legislators in the November elections, which renewed a third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives.

By contrast, the "demonization" of which many migrants have been mobilized the Hispanic vote, which has increased its participation in recent elections, he said.

The social leader called a "mistake" that Obama has decided to briefly mention the issue of migration at the end of his speech, which avoided asking for comprehensive immigration reform that leads to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants.

It found, however, that the decision to keep a low public profile could be analyzed from a political standpoint to prevent anti-migrant groups organize and mobilize to fight any kind of relief to undocumented immigrants.

The director of America's Voice said the proposal submitted last year in the lower house lawmaker Luis Gutierrez has served to push Congress and the White House and to mobilize supporters for reform.

He said, however, expected that the Senate is the one who takes the initiative on a bipartisan bill supported by Democrat Charles Schumer and Republican Lindsey Graham, who then would return to the House of Representatives.

Both conservatives and progressives Republican Party of the Democratic Party agree that change is necessary to dysfunctional immigration system, he stressed Sharry.

He said the issue is also relevant in states where there has been an increase in the Latino vote.

Vice President Migration Policy and Advocacy at the Center for American Progress, Angela Kelly, said on his part told reporters that he had never seen the level of coordination between different federal agencies have begun working on the issue of migration.

These talks are not done accidentally, but they show that the federal government is seriously addressing the issue, despite the brief mention that Obama did in his message, he said.

Obama has commissioned its government officials to advocate a reform in different events, such as Homeland Security secretary, Janet Napolitano, and Labor, Hilda Solis, and the Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

Sectors, trade unions, and religious and youth activists who support the Dream Act proposal, legalize students, many events have prompted the use of social networks like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to expand the support base.

On Tuesday, activists from the community organization Casa de Maryland, along with trade unionists and religious, blocked some streets of Washington against the Homeland Security Department, but were not arrested for that act of civil disobedience.

Kelly acknowledged that the proximity of the November congressional elections, "time is short" for reform and that there is a "big window of possibilities, but there is still a chance for a change to immigration laws.
