Sidney Blumenthal analyse la situation int\u00e9rieure US avec la r\u00e9surgence du probl\u00e8me de l’immigration qui est en train de devenir, avec une rapidit\u00e9 exceptionnelle, le probl\u00e8me int\u00e9rieur n\u00b01 aux USA. Blumenthal estime que GW Bush est en train de perdre le contr\u00f4le de cette question de l’immigration qui devient de plus en plus une probl\u00e9matique d’opposition. Cette \u00e9volution ach\u00e8ve la perte de contr\u00f4le du pr\u00e9sident US de la situation int\u00e9rieure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale entra\u00eenant l’\u00e9clatement de sa majorit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tCet article de Blumenthal (Guardian<\/em> de ce jour<\/a>) est notamment int\u00e9ressant par les observations qu’il fait sur le r\u00f4le nouveau<\/a> de l’\u00e9glise catholique, passant tr\u00e8s rapidement d’une position conservatrice pro-Bush (\u00e0 cause de la question de l’avortement) \u00e0 une position tr\u00e8s activiste pro-immigration qui en fait soudain une force politique de tr\u00e8s grande ampleur. La d\u00e9structuration de la majorit\u00e9 de GW Bush fait de l’\u00e9glise catholique une force puissante d’opposition, face au tr\u00e8s fort mouvement nativiste<\/em>, isolationniste et anti-immigrant qui est en train de s’affirmer au cur du conservatisme r\u00e9publicain traditionnel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tVoici quelques passages o\u00f9 Blumenthal insiste sur cet aspect des choses aux USA : \u00ab President Bush’s nationally televised address on immigration on Monday night was intended as a grand gesture to revive his collapsing presidency, but instead he has plunged the Republicans into a political centrifuge, breaking the party down into its raw elements, whose collisions are triggering explosions of unexpected and ever greater magnitude.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb The nativist Republican base is at the throat of the business community. The Republican House of Representatives, in the grip of the far right, is at war with the Republican Senate. The evangelical religious right is paralysed while the Catholic church is a mobilising force behind demonstrations by Hispanic immigrants. Every effort Bush makes to hold a nonexistent Republican centre generates an opposing effect within his party.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Bush’s victory in 2004 depended on the management of highly volatile constituencies: the religious right was shepherded by referendums against gay marriage; the abortion issue was used to elevate Catholic conservatives and isolate progressive-minded bishops; nativists were captivated by hosts of enemies in the whirlwind of September 11.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Bush’s political handlers were determined to suppress immigration as an issue. Hispanics made up 14% of the population in 2004, and Bush’s ability to capture Catholic and Hispanic voters was one of the decisive factors in winning a second term. However, as Bush’s neoconservative foreign policy has been discredited, a virulent form of isolationist nationalism has filled the vacuum. Bush conflated the fears arising from September 11 with Iraq, but the fear of the other is now being directed at immigrants – a nativist tradition that goes back to the Know-Nothing party of the 1850s and the Ku Klux Klan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Meanwhile, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has identified the church as the moral guardian of immigrants and the proponent of social services and citizenship. Last month, when the Family Research Council, a prominent religious-right group, tried to summon support for the house bill, the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference warned it would break away, and the religious right was stymied.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 18 mai 2006 \u00e0 08H59<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sidney Blumenthal analyse la situation int\u00e9rieure US avec la r\u00e9surgence du probl\u00e8me de l’immigration qui est en train de devenir, avec une rapidit\u00e9 exceptionnelle, le probl\u00e8me int\u00e9rieur n\u00b01 aux USA.
