The Huntington Theory
President Obama and the Huntington Theory
Barack Obama is against Samuel Huntington’s theory. The current president disagrees with the Huntington’s Theory of Hispanization which basically states that immigration from Mexico and Latin America is potentially destructive of original American political principles (Karen O'Connor, 2009).
President Barack Obama sought to reach Latino voters by supporting the comprehensive Immigration Reform. He stated that a broken immigration system can only be reconstructed by leaving aside politics and offering a comprehensive solution to secure the borders, enforce the laws, and to reaffirm our tradition as a country of immigrants (Haerens, 2011). Immigration policy must be handled according to the economic interests of the United States and American workers. President Obama also states that an orderly and controlled border situation and an immigration system designed to meet the economic needs of the country are important pillars for a strong economy (Obama, 2006).
