A
simple answer could be: a Republican Representative from Wisconsin. Another, a
little more creative: He is the Chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Perhaps,
if someone asks Mitt Romney – presumptive Republican party nominee for
President - Ryan is the "next President of the United States", as he
said to a crowd of followers gathered in Norfolk, Virginia, on Aug. 11.
Regardless
of this faux pas, Romney´s running mate is a virtually unknown
character. He has had a legislative career relatively long in relation to his
age: he is 42 years old and has been stuck in Congress since 1998. However, he
is unknown for many people.
In
his official website, Ryan defined the DREAM Act as a "serious
mistake".
Its
position on immigration issues have been very, in fact, during a Town Hall
Meeting, which took place in Paddock Lake, Wisconsin, in April 2011, Ryan qualifies
as "anchor babies" those U.S. citizens whose parents are undocumented
immigrants. His commentary went even further and lower, indicating the eventual
possibility of modifying the text of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
And
taking the very same words of Ryan, at the close of his opening electoral
speech, "What kind of country do we want to have?" and "What
kind of people do we want to be?", these are my answers:
Do we
want a country where progress to young people is denied, simply because of lacking
9 magic numbers?
Or
perhaps, do we want to be against the Constitution?
The
American people will decide. Voting will decide the type of country and the kind
of leaders we will have.
