Yesterday the remaining readers of the Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic) were treated to a another devious headline: Some in GOP seek new migrant tone; they say enforcement only isn’t effective. Get that? “Some” seek “new migrant tone?”
Daniel Gonzalez was no doubt salivating as he wrote the worshipful paean of a couple of East Valley RINOs elected to the state legislature, aided and abetted by the efforts of Randy Parraz, a liberal open borders proponent and a force behind the contrived recall of Senate President Russell Pearce. That recall and Pearce’s primary loss as he tried to regain his seat in a vastly changed and newly configured district have provided what is seen by the left as a transfusion to the wearying issue.
Sen. Jerry Lewis, LD 26, and newcomer Bob Worsley, LD 25, (who has not yet won the general election) are onboard with guest worker programs and oppose requiring those here illegally to return home. They speak of a “compassionate” view of the illegals who have invaded our state and country. Arizona is the portal for the flood of humanity that we are told has lessened and to whom Barack Obama has recently instituted a politically calculated “deferred action”/amnesty program — coinciding with the November election.
Even the Maricopa County Attorney is said to be talking the same “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” that John McCain and John Kyl proposed with Ted Kennedy. It’s the identical issue that Jeff Flake, now running for the senate seat previously held by the retiring Kyl, has advocated on behalf of with radical leftist Luis Gutierrez, Flake‘s former congressional colleague. Incredibly, Gutierrez even congratulated Flake for his assistance in helping to turn more red states blue.
AZ Senate President Steve Pierce, another RINO adept at speaking out of both sides of his mouth, also supports such a program, while saying he “opposes legalizing” illegals.
Let’s be clear. You can’t have it both ways. In the worst economy fueling the highest unemployment in over 75 years, an influx of new workers is the last thing we need. The Chambers of Commerce and their illegal labor profiteers are simply interested in their bottom line — even at the cost of destroying our economic system.
The Republican National Convention recently adopted the 2012 Platform acknowledging 42 consecutive months of unemployment, the longest since the Great Depression and clearly stating enforcement laws should be embraced:
“In this country, the rule of law guarantees equal treatment to every individual, including more than one million immigrants to whom we grant permanent residence every year. That is why we oppose any form of amnesty for those who, by intentionally violating the law, disadvantage those who have obeyed it. Granting amnesty only rewards and encourages more law breaking.”
Are any elected Republicans officials paying attention? Thankfully, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” In fact, an overwhelming percentage of GOP office holders are standing strong for the Rule of Law and the Constitution. Maybe that’s why the República cherry picked this minimal number.
If I stop expecting so much from my elected officials, maybe I won’t be disappointed so often.
So how is it that the GOP plank outlined here can be represented by “Republicans” who have the exact OPPOSITE position? How does the Arizona Republican party and RNC plan to deal with the likes of Lewis, Worsley, McCain, Kyl, Flake, etc? Is it sufficient to let them be known as RINOs and turn the other cheek? Maybe the election of Richard Carmona to the U.S. Senate will be the motivation needed to delouse the state party of these miscreants, and pour sugar in the gas tank of the McMachine.
I noticed the poll yesterday that shows a 1% difference between Flake and Carmona. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Carmona actually pulls off a win over Flake? It would be worth it to see the Republicans scratching their heads and wondering how it could have possibly happened.
Well, when you (the Republican) have been carefully and cunningly pulled to the left, you aren’t any different than the Democrat, what do you expect?
It was hilarious to watch the “1%” story yesterday, the standard bearers of leftist drivel (KPNX, KPHO, etal) actually reported this as news, with non-committal agenda comments withheld.
The endless guffaw actually came out of ‘Crankcase News’ (EIGHT World) who reported the poll results as unusal being that Carmona is not well known in Arizona, and even more so in Maricopa county. But then the pimply voice-over went on to say that ‘many conservatives/Republicans don’t like Flake.’ For once the libtard factory at ASU got something right. That’s 1.
The Mormon Church is using its pipeline to Mormon candidates and leaders to impose its amnesty plan on Arizona. Isn’t it interesting how Worsley and Lewis parrot almost verbatim the Church’s pronouncements, despite these statements’ inconsistency with the Church’s own instructions to Church leaders regarding immigration. Check all this out on S.H.I.E.L.D.

I am disgusted with what is happening in my church. Whatever happened to the Church requirement that a person be “totally honest” to be in good standing. Are illegals exempted? Has the Church’s 12th Article of Faith which states that “we believe in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law” been superseded?
