\"hernandez\"<\/a>That is the title of the book written by Dr. Juan Hernandez who is the founder of the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas in Dallas where he had the opportunity to meet and have as speakers for his student the Mexican ex-president Vicente Fox and U.S. President George W. Bush (both governors in their respective countries at the time: Fox of the state of Guanajuato and Bush of Texas).\u00a0 Later Juan Hernandez became one of the more important components in Vicente Fox\u2019s presidential campaign, as part of the presidential cabinet during his term.\u00a0 Among the recognitions he has received, Dr. Juan Hernandez has been named as one of the \u201cMost intelligent people we know\u201d from Fortune magazine and one of the \u201c100 most influential Latinos\u201d by Poder magazine.
\nMaybe many of you have had the opportunity to see him and hear him through TV, since he frequently is invited to Univision, ABC and FOX News.
\nEven though this book touches on some of his life experiences,
\n his main goal is not to write about himself but to try to influence the thought of the 21st century American to try to establish the roadmap for North America and the world in the coming years; all the while helping to identify some of the most important issues and social priorities like immigration law reform.\u00a0 He also shares with the reader his worries, hopes and dreams.
\nThis book gives the reader a more clear image of the Mexican immigrant and the many reasons why they immigrate; and it does it through real stories told by immigrants in their own words, trying to show that Mexico as a nation is a friend, brother, our family.\u00a0 It emphasizes why immigration is a vital part of the future of this country.\u00a0 He underlines that: it maintains a young nation; helps protect social security in the country, avoids inflation, betters the quality of life and is the best anti-poverty program.\u00a0 He also writes what a \u201cDay without Mexicans\u201d would be like.
\n\u201cIn the most vulnerable populations in the world, we find the immigrants.\u201d Thousands of immigrants are victims of abuse from their employers who profit at their expense.\u00a0 \u201cThe current immigration law is broke and we must fix it.\u201d This book is a scream from a mind that fights for reform in the immigration system; but a reform with \u201cimmigration laws that are more rational and humane,\u201d according to George W. Bush.
\nEven when many \u201cAmericans\u201d are not happy with the new immigrants, Dr. Hernandez gives very important facts about the huge and positive contributions that are brought to this country by immigrants whom he refers to as \u201cheroes among us.\u201d\u00a0 Especially those who take the hard labor jobs that almost nobody wants and that in many cases they have not had the opportunity to legalize their migratory status.\u00a0 But they don\u2019t complain, in fact in the worst conditions they are grateful that this country gives them an opportunity to work and support their family with dignity; and if it were not for these undocumented workers, the economy of the country would crash.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Dr. Hernandez says that \u201cthe agreements about immigration between Mexico and the United States are hugely divided as close as one inch\u2026in the measurement of a light year.\u00a0 Such ironies exist when simple problems with simple solutions are complicated by politicians.\u201d
\nFor many readers of Hola America this topic is nothing new, it\u2019s actually very beneficial to read this book but I highly recommend it to those who don\u2019t know much about the subject especially those who we know who only speak English, doing it so to support one of the goals of Dr. Hernandez, which are also our goals.\u00a0 This being the true meaning of an American.<\/p>\n
