Linda Valdez and her perpetual mission

In an editorial today titled, Only High Court can bring clarity on sanctions, the Republic’s editorialist-in-charge-of-amnesty opines that only the U.S. Supreme Court possesses the wisdom to deal with Arizona’s Fair and Legal Employment Act.

Linda Valdez is clearly upset that Arizona and the numerous other states which have followed our lead in enacting policies to control the flood of illegal workers by cutting off the hiring carrot, are gaining momentum. At least 150 bills relating specifically to employment have been introduced, and 40 such bills have been enacted in 28 states since 2007, the year Arizona approved its legislation. In the first three months of 2009 alone, over 1,000 immigration-related bills and resolutions were introduced in all 50 states.

It must have escaped her notice that this groundswell is indicative of national fury at the continuing parade of foreign nationals taking jobs Americans are all too happy to have during these difficult economic times.

But, “for the sake of clarity,” Valdez implores the U.S. Supreme Court to hear, and of course rule in favor of, the case brought by Hispanic advocacy groups, the U .S. Chamber of Commerce and their members that enthusiastically exploit low-wage, illegal workers.

The editorial could have been written by Sens. McCain, Kyl, or Kennedy — the trio who crafted the unsound 2007 Comprehensive Immigration Reform that enraged Americans to the point of shutting down Congressional phone and FAX lines with their ire, before it was terminated. Read what Michelle Malkin had to say on the subject.

Although Valdez doesn’t give it credit, the federal E-Verify program has been extremely effective and simple to use. She creates a ruse that says chaos is at play with dozens of verification systems, which is patently untrue.

The editorial is transparent in support of a reintroduction of Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  This time it will have a new name, which played better with focus groups: Temporary Guest Worker Program. Valdez even gives it an adjective:”orderly.”

The law has passed numerous hurdles. It was signed into law July 2, 2007 by Arizona’s Democrat former Gov. Janet Napolitano.  A Federal District Court and even the very liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals gave it approval. 

Yet Valdez, irrationally concludes, “Things have changed.”

Now she pleads it‘s up to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the federal and circuit courts and her own leftist Napolitano — to open the floodgates without restriction.
