Seeing the need for reform, Presidential Hopeful Daniel Imperato stepped up today and declared his sincere determination to open up the eyes of our present administration and desire lead the next administration into the greatest reforms and strategic alliances with our neighbors in the South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
“Being a Catholic born American, an appointed Papal Knight, along with my many years of business and personal experience in the Mediterranean and all over South America I see a tremendous disconnect and disinterest by both our administration and the previous administration to take serious notice and long term action to assist South America, Central America, and the Caribbean,” asserted Imperato.
Imperato felt that our support for our neighbors in the western hemisphere has been more symbolic then actual.
“While our administrations have moved forward with NAFTA and CAFTA, providing the appearance of bilateral relations, the actions that we need to take in order to ensure success throughout the western hemisphere are not being done,” commented Imperato, who believes that NAFTA and CAFTA may do more for other countries in Europe and Asia, than it will do for our neighbors in Mexico, and Central America.
Imperato feels that countries such as Italy, Germany, China, and Japan have played more of a role in developing the region than the United States.
“Throughout all of my years in dealing in South America it always has come to my mind and my heart as to why other countries such as Italy and Germany have taken a frontrunner’s position towards providing business opportunity for the region since the early days. Presently, the Japanese and now the Chinese have taken a greater role, particularly in the Caribbean Islands which are the gateways between our great continents,” stated Imperato.
To date, the United States’ major trading partners are as follows: Canada, Mexico, Japan, UK, China, and Germany.
“While I see Presidents Lula of Brazil and Kirchner of Argentina cry out for help I see these two giant South American countries that could unconditionally develop, manufacture, produce, and sell their products and services not only to the United States but to the rest of the world. I have a plan in mind pertaining to these issues, specifically the labor and education issues, both in the United States and in our Caribbean, Latin, Central, and South American Countries,” explained Imperato.
By ignoring trade relations with our partners in the Western Hemisphere, Imperato feels that the United States is not taking advantage of the political strength and economic foothold that they can implement in the region.
“I believe that we are ignoring the political and economic strength in our neighboring continent and not spending enough time and money securing a great neighbor. I believe that it will be difficult for the United States of America and its people to overtake the rest world when it comes to involvement in the region since many of the European Union countries have been of great importance to many of the continent’s countries,” said Imperato.
Additionally, Imperato went on to address security issues in the region.
“I am also concerned about our borders pertaining to the shipping of products and security when it comes to the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Mexico. I believe that it is the duty of the leaders of the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Mexico, along with the United States of America, its people, and our administration to take serious action and start working with the leaders of Mexico and the Caribbean to ensure long term bilateral relations that are beneficial for everyone,” suggested Imperato.
Imperato also went on to outlay his plan for other issues in the region.
Imperato stated that along with increased trade in the region must come education, manufacturing and jobs programs. He felt that more US manufacturing facilities should utilize the low-cost labor of South America, but we should assist those countries in setting up organized labor and education programs.
Imperato commented that, “Mr. Sweeney the president of the AFL-CIO should consider initiatives to assist with setting up the organized labor programs.”
Along with improved labor, Imperato suggested increasing government controls, security, and stability in the region, as well as working with their banking and finance committees to stabilize their currencies.
Imperato also felt that we should focus not only on the Spanish-speaking population around our hemisphere, but the Spanish-speaking population in our own backyard.
“Spanish is the second most spoken language in this country and should be recognized as the second language in our country. The Hispanic people of our country have provided many great contributions to our society. Many of them have struggled, but as a people they have shown their stamina and determination to become leaders in our country and around the world,” stated Imperato.
One thing that Imperato feels has hampered the progress of the Spanish-speaking population has been their portrayal in the media and throughout American society.
“While I truly understand the differences between the American people and their understandings of NAFTA and CAFTA, and truly can say that the face of this subject always seems pointed at the bordering states pertaining to illegal immigrants and child labor. The Spanish population has a desire of high standards, are very intellectual, and in most cases very compassionate. What I see in the media is always about the borders in Texas, and neighboring states, and how these illegal immigrants are smuggling illegal drugs and utilizing child labor and immigrating to the United States inappropriately,” commented Imperato.
Imperato went on to conclude his statement by saying, “It’s time that our country and our media presented the good parts of our neighboring continent and its countries while recognizing that only a very small portion of the Spanish speaking population is engaged in inappropriate activity. Most of them desire to abide by the law and are looking for equal opportunity especially in countries like Chile, Argentina, and Brazil where the people are of high standard, class and elegance, because of their morals, education, and principles. I hope I will have the opportunity to participate in and represent the Spanish-speaking people in the United States of America, with the desire to increase their visibility, viability, and to work with their mother tongue countries to increase overall success, for the Spanish speaking society. God Bless the Americas.”
