Major Hurdles to Investment Stability
THE ISSUE: Last ditch effort by NMI’s detractors to derail local control of immigration in the US Congress.
OUR VIEW: NMI must wage equal vigor and resiliency to protect its freedoms and right of governance to self- government.
Wary of last ditch efforts by the lame duck Clinton administration to degrade self-government in the NMI, Speaker Ben Fitial made it abundantly clear in his inaugural statement that he and the new House leadership won’t surrender the fights and freedom of our people to bureaucrats in Washington.
The agenda of dedicated detractors would figure most prominently this year what with liberal social democrats pandering to demands of the US Textile Labor Unions to inflict the equivalence of economic annihilation to make-up for time spent dozing off while the rest of the world, including the NMI, instituted state-of-the-art apparel manufacturing.
Furthermore, it is the last ditch effort of liberal social democrats who know that the US Presidency will become the effective domain of national Republicans. It’s either all, none or scrap altogether this time around. This egregious agenda to inflict statutory economic annihilation by imposing more layers of government is far removed from the very foundation that enabled this American Community (however an island) to attain phenomenal economic growth in the late eighties and early nineties via the free enterprise system.
What our detractors seemingly can’t understand is the obvious flaunting of unequal application of federal policies treating favorites differently from those who fight for their freedom against moneyed special interests. The use of the term “reform” is but a shield to hide the obvious: Must pander to the whims of special interests (US Textile Labor Unions) over the economic fare of the people of these islands each of whom is a US Citizen too.
The irony in this frivolous agenda is the apparent muteness of detractors who have not sought federal takeover of the State of California or Hawaii or even New York where abuses and violation of human rights abound. It must be the ignorant display of the glass house syndrome as to force detractors to blindly front for a fast disintegrating credibility of textile labor unions.
The NMI can’t afford letting its guards down. It must meet our detractors tooth and nail. It may be a difficuit feat but American Democracy often entails a long and arduous journey to protect one’s rights and freedom. And it is very American to present a dissenting view especially when detractors and their self-righteous agenda would effectively translate into economic and financial meltdown of the NMI.
Let us regroup and restate our case in uncompromising fashion for we too have as much right to insist that Clinton’s lame duck administration ensures that the “economic good times” descends in this small American Community. Si Yuus Maase’ yan ghilisow!.
