It was a historical day in every respect of the word. The first African American president, a persons' multitudinous gathering, and an expense I never dress in previous captures of possession. The people who went out from early hours to see everything in person said that they did not want to get lost anything from what it was going on. The system of the Meter also brought a number without users' precedents, and only there was a case of a woman who fell down to the rails but fortunately nothing major happened to him.
The international branch sees the entry of the new administration like an opportunity to carry out a new politics in the exterior as for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in Latin America. Even the Cuban leader Fidel Castro said that “it does not have any doubt” that Obama is an honest man, simultaneously that it indicated that many still remain questioning what the American politics would be towards the island. Obama has said that it would raise several restrictions of trip and mailing of money to Cuba, but that it would support the sequestration “for negotiation reasons”.
In Mexico also the Obama ancestry is seen by approval to the presidency. Equal in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. So for the time being, the honeymoon continues. As for the federal Congress, Obama enters with a democratic majority both cameras, and legislators hope to be able to approve several projects of law that did not come to any side in the previous meeting.
The groups who advocate the immigrants hope that the migratory reform should be one of the principal priorities of the administration. Several community groups protected a declaration opposite to the offices of the federal agency in charge of migratory matters (HOIST) to urge to the White House him not to forget the migratory community. Curiously the Latin organizations at national level did not take part officially in the declaration, saying that they understand that the topic of the economy is the essential thing for the administration Obama, and they will wait to raise a migratory reform. But the community groups say that precisely it is not necessary to wait, and that the pressure must begin from now on.
Till now the analysts who continue matters that affect the Hispanic community indicate that this Congress and this administration will be of major benefit that the previous one, and that they have already begun to indicate it with the approval of several matters, as more of minors of age extend benefits of medical insurance for thousands, including children of legal residents, something that the president Bush had vetoed.
A new and refreshing air is breathed, say the Hispanic activists. It will be necessary to see up to where this optimism wind will come.
