Delegates at the Democratic National Convention last week adopted the Party'
s official platform, which fully embraced the Obama Administration's
immigration policy agenda. (DNC Platform, 2012)
First, the platform echoes the Administration's pro-amnesty agenda. While
the platform specifically states that "only Congress can provide a permanent
, comprehensive solution" to the nation's immigration problems, it
nonetheless adopts the Obama Administration's recent decision to grant
employment authorization and deferred action to illegal aliens under the age
of thirty. (FAIR Legislative Update, June 19, 2012; see also DNC Platform
at p. 13-14, 2012) Democrats vow that, if reelected, their Party will fight
to bring "undocumented immigrants out of the shadows…in order to get on a
path to earn citizenship." (DNC Platform at p. 13, 2012)
This pledge to illegal aliens comes in spite of the United States' 14.7%
unemployment and underemployment rate. (See U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
U-6 Chart, Aug. 2012) Moreover, according to a recent study conducted by
Northeastern University researchers, "about 1.5 million, or 53.6 percent, of
bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or
underemployed, the highest share in at least 11 years." (See Associated
Press, Apr. 23, 2012)
In addition to folding the illegal alien community into America's working
population, the Democratic platform also advocates more STEM worker visas
for foreign students. Democrats "will work to make it possible for foreign
students earning advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics to stay" and work in the United States, the platform reads. (DNC
Platform at p. 6, 2012) Yet, only one-third of American STEM workers are
currently employed in jobs closely related to their degrees, and about two-
thirds of American STEM workers are employed or are training for jobs in
unrelated fields. (See FAIR Report, Jobs Americans Can't Do? The Myth of a
Skilled Worker Shortage, Nov. 2011; see also Urban Institute Report, 2007)
Now that both parties have their platforms in place and have completed their
official nominating conventions, the 2012 presidential election is
officially underway. The first debate, on domestic policy, will take place
October 3.
