Despite an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent, almost $1 trillion of our gross national product comes from outsourced activities in developing countries. If we are serious about accelerating the pace of progress that is driving our economic recovery, then we need to be serious about empowering American workers and ensuring our commitment to American- made products. Last year, Representa- tives Tom Reed (R-NY.) and Joe Kennedy (D-MA) intro- duced a bipartisan bill on that would establish the Network for Manufactur- ing Innovation, a program designed to encourage col- laboration between busi- nesses, universities, and research institutes. Presi- dent Obama proposed tar- geted investment in man- ufacturing communities to the tune of $113 million. ese policies, which aim to bring jobs back home, are redefining notions of American manufacturing. ey would result in 45 new manufacturing innovation institutes and potentially thousands of new jobs in manufacturing communi- ties across the country. Private firms are also rethinking their approach to production. AT&T and General Motors are among industry leaders that have pledged to increase domes- tic manufacturing and cre- ate jobs at home. Gener- al Electric plans to pro- duce more than 3,000 jobs for American workers by 2014 by investing more than $1 billion in U.S.- manufactured appliances. Even Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the country, has announced it will spend $50 billion on American- made products in the next 10 years. is is America at work. But we can do better. Millions of jobs are still at risk of being out- sourced. Cheap labor in countries like China and India is making it harder for American firms to con- tinue domestic production of goods. ese competi- tive pressures are strain- ing the future of "Made in America." e solution to this problem is both complex and multi-faceted; there is no "quick-fix" remedy that will resolve this structur- al economic issue. ere is, however, one signifi- cant resource on our side: a vibrant and entrepreneur- ial immigrant community. Immigrant-owned businesses have played a crucial role in our econom- ic history and remain one of our country's strongest assets. Today, they employ one in ten American work- ers and generate more than $775 billion in revenue each year. More important- ly, immigrant-owned busi- nesses represent the future of the "Made in Ameri- ca" movement. Research shows that immigrants comprise 16.7% of all new business owners in the U.S. and are almost twice as likely export their goods than their non-immigrant counterparts. ese goods proudly carry the "Made in America" label. e immigrant com- munity in general -- and the Hispanic community in particular -- are poised to lead the way in driv- ing the Made in Ameri- ca movement. Hispanics make up the largest seg- ment of America's immi- grant community. Accord- ing to a business report conducted by Geoscape, a leading business intelli- gence firm, today there are more than 3 million His- panic firms that together contribute over $350 bil- lion to America's econo- my each year. Despite the challenges brought about by the recession, Hispanic businesses have still man- aged to thrive, starting and growing new businesses at more than twice the rate of the general population. Our nation's workforce stands on the shoulders of corporate leaders who must recognize the indispens- able value of the Ameri- can worker. Our continued economic recovery depends on corporations producing the best products on the planet -- products that are "Made in America." More than ever, immigrants will continue to play a key role in shaping this econom- ic future. Corporations need to look to immigrant- owned businesses that can provide quality prod- ucts and affordable labor across all areas of supply and distribution right here at home. is is America's business future.

En el ocaso del gobierno calderonista, los pronósti- cos políticos predecían que el PAN perdería la presi- dencia de la República. Los índices de violencia y san- gre derramada a lo largo y ancho del país, difícilmen- te aseguraban la perma- nencia del partido de dere- cha, en ese sentido, la otro- ra aspirante presidencial Josefina Vázquez Mota, estaba de facto descarta- da para la contienda. Los únicos que darían la batalla para suceder a Felipe Calde- rón serían, López Obrador y Enrique Peña Nieto. A pesar de los discursos políticamente correctos de procurar el Estado de dere- cho y de exponer las mejo- res intenciones para gober- nar al país, ambos aspiran- tes sabían que tarde o tem- prano tendrían que nego- ciar con los capos crimi- nales para frenar el derra- mamiento de sangre y por ende los actos delictivos... A la vuelta del tiempo, ese momento le llegó a Peña Nieto. En recientes días, Peña Nieto promovió en diferen- tes foros internacionales, las oportunidades de inver- sión económica que pueden tenerse en México como consecuencia de las recien- temente aprobadas refor- mas energética y de tele- comunicaciones. Países de primer mundo y empresas trasnacionales han mos- trado un particular interés, sólo que le han reprochado a Peña, el clima de violen- cia, inseguridad y por tanto de incertidumbre políti- ca para poder invertir en nuestro país. Por supuesto, el trabajo político del llamado Pacto por México que encontró las mejores maniobras para que las reformas prospe- raran, se ve ensombrecido sino se logra que lleguen los recursos del extranjero. Por ello, Peña Nieto se vio obligado a dar un golpe cer- tero para tranquilizar las inquietudes de los inversio- nistas y ofrecerles un clima de estabilidad.
