Democrats and illegal immigration get the nod
Yesterday’s Republic gave Page One coverage with a massive jump piece to Dan Saban. He is the opportunistic party switcher who decided he had a better chance of waging a challenge to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio as a Democrat, fearing a wipe-out in a contested primary with the popular sheriff.
The headline, Saban faces uphill battle against Arpaio tells only part of the story. The rest of it features an assemblage of political consultants, lobbyists, university professors and communications specialists providing the problem-plagued Saban free expert advice on how to energize his campaign. Saban’s lackluster efforts have resulted in paltry contributions, the necessary fuel that runs any campaign.
Saban has stressed that he will not pursue the enforcement of illegals who have crossed our Southern border in violation of the law. His stated laxity in this regard makes him the choice for the open border editorialists at the left-leaning daily newspaper.
Today the daily editorially endorsed the candidacy of Tim Nelson, a longtime aide of Democrat Gov. Janet Napolitano. Nelson, a former ACLU lawyer, lacking prosecution experience, is challenging Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas. Thomas has provided legal leadership and cooperated with Sheriff Arpaio in the prosecution of the transporting “coyotes” and their illegal alien clients.
No surprise in either endorsement. The bias of the newspaper is evident in its support of illegal immigration, open border policies and amnesty for those who disregard the U. S. sovereignty and the rule of law.
The Sheriff and County Attorney have the support of the electorate. That’s really all that matters. Besides, the newspaper’s endorsements have not had a great track record. More and more frequently, those candidates who are supported by the liberal Republic lose, and lose BIG!
No surprise here. The newspaper is strangely enchanted with a continuous flow of illegals across our border. First it was Keven Willey, then Richard deUriarte. Willey went to the Dallas Morning News where she is editorial page editor and last year presided over naming “The Illegal Immigrant” as Man of the Year. DeUriarte took a buyout and bailed. That leaves the Queen of Illegals Linda Valdez. Just read the sappy, pro-illegal editorials to see where she stands. It’s a daily feeding of liberal swill. We couldn’t take it any longer and dumped our subscription.
Joe Arpaio and Andrew Thomas are law enforcement professionals. That fact alone would never fly with the libs at the Republic.
Have you ever thought that the Republic has such an affection for Third World countries that they would like us to be one? I recently read that on average the illegals coming in from Mexico have a third to fifth grade education — in Mexican schools. These are not people who are going to be filling high tech positions or becoming CEOs. Besides, those jobs belong to American citizens.
