So says the daily’s editorial writer, Linda Valdez
She writes: House Democratic leaders may not support the piecemeal. enforcement-only approach to immigration reform being proposed by Rep. Heath Shuler (D -NC) . But that’s minor consolation considering they have done little to push the comprehensive reform since taking the majority role.
Valdez continues: At least Arizona’s (Democrat) Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gets it. She says it would be “disastrous” to go along with Shuler’s plan to impose the flawed E-Verify system nationwide.
Valdez, an unabashed liberal and open borders advocate, appears to find it difficult to abide a Democrat such as Rep. Shuler, who actually supports border enforcement, including employer verification of new hires. She obviously supports Gifford’s contention that the simple-to-use E-Verify system is “burdensome.”
The only word Valdez omitted when referring to principled Democrat Shuler was “Heretic!”

Thanks again for keeping us updated on these obscene views. The AZ Republic is more concerned with illegals than with US citizens. I seriously don’t get it.
I thought Americans spoke loud and clear regarding their fury over the “Comprehensive Immigration Reforn” scheme previously. It was withdrawn then. Is this an indicator that it will return? That’s the reason I am unable to support John McCain.

“Disasterous” and “burdensome?” Those words should be hung around Gabrielle Giffords neck whenever she makes a campaign appearance. Who’s side is she on?
Linda Valdez doesn’t even rate an ‘F’ for effort here. The newspaper should move its few remaining staffers to Nogales.
