I guess Christian Ramirez is smart enough to know that under an economic recesion, the chances of an amnesty bill passing is much less possible.

For those of you who don't know who Christian Ramirez is, he is another Pro-illegal alien activist born in Tijuana and yaps about illegal alien "rights" along with Enrique Morones in the San Diego area.

(Christian) RamÃ*rez is a pessimist with regard to the approval of a comprehensive (Immigration) reform bill in the future, with any chosen presidential candidate. He indicated that McCain has changed his position relating to immigration (now the candidate favors seccuring the border before comprehensive reform) and that no candidate mentions the issue during his campaign. According to RamÃ*rez, the economic crisis makes it more diffucult the type of reform that the central american leaders requested to the UN.

"It has been seen in the history of the US", maintained RamÃ*rez. "When there is an economic crisis, the people tend to blame immigrants, and in this context it is less likely that the president, whom ever he may be, can convince the electorate that it is necessary to legalize to the undocumented."

According to RamÃ*rez, it may be more probable that in the first term of the next president, the government will approve a more extensive program of temporary work than the current one. But these programs are criticized for permiting exploitation. Under the current temporary work system, the migrant visas depend on a particular employer, and if the workers do not like the labor conditions, they are obligated to return to their country of origin.

"It is probable, then, that during the next administration more immigrants will find work legaly, but under a very restrictive state", verified RamÃ*rez. "While the deportations of the undocumented continue.", he said.
