A New Generation of Leaders
A new generation of Republican leaders A new generation of Republican leaders has proven the strongest advocates of highlyskilled immigrants. It was Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, for example, who kept Durbin’s proposals out of the so-called Gang of Eight bill—the framework for bipartisan immigration reform. Rubio and his Republican allies made the sensible point that Durbin’s proposal would penalize American companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google for filling more than 30% of their workforces with H-1B visa holders. The Republican case for merit-based reform is part of a broader shift in the G.O.P. Anti-immigrant sentiments of the past are being excised from the party. Even conservative hardliners on border security, like the Heritage Foundation, have endorsed proposals to ease restrictions on educated immigrants who will contribute to the country’s economic dynamism. Republican reformers, in short, are rallying around the values of economic freedom and equal opportunity that the Indian-American community embodies. Should reformers prevail in the Republican civil war, immigration will no longer pull Indian-Americans away from a party that otherwise advances their interests. An Indian-American shift toward the Republican Party will amplify the community’s political influence. By voting lockstep with the Democratic Party, Indian-Americans are often ignored. Currently, outreach to the Indian-American community is worthwhile neither for Democrats, who can take the community’s vote for granted, nor for Republicans, who focus on larger groups instead. But if the community shows that it is open-minded to a Republican Party intent on broadening its appeal, the IndianAmerican vote, concentrated in presidential swing states, will become an enticing target in coming elections. n A graduate of Yale Law School, Keerthika Subramanian is a corporate and securities lawyer in New York City.
