Democrat Gabrielle Giffords is running for Congress against Randy Graf in Arizona, and I called her office a few times trying to find out exactly which of the various immigration plans she supports or where her support differs from those plans. All I managed to get out of one of her staff members is that she supports the Kennedy-McCain plan, which includes a "guest" worker plan. [1] However, that plan did not pass.
I asked about the plan that did pass the Senate, the "Hagel-Martinez compromise", which also contains a "guest" worker plan similar to that from Kennedy-McCain. [2]
I was told that they couldn't comment on that because it hadn't passed the House as well. I was told that she might support parts of that, but since it was up in the air she can't comment on which parts she might support or oppose. An interview [3] she did gave the impression - perhaps false - that she only supported a "seasonal" "guest" worker plan, but they would not comment on whether she only supported that or one with a longer term.
We already have seasonal programs, but one of the problems with longer term programs is that both Kennedy-McCain and Hagel-Martinez allow "guests" to apply to become legal permanent residents, and also most of our "guests" would have U.S. citizen children while they were here, thus making it very difficult to deport "guests" who didn't want to go home.
In any case, it appears to me that Giffords has no real clue about these issues, and is not willing to tell people where she really stands on these issues.

Well gee, do I have to tell you everything. Look, democrats don't HAVE to tell you what they support, you're just supposed to vote for them because they say to trust them. Sheesh!
There is no question about what she supports. Amnesty and open borders are on her agenda. She has the demeanor of a silly high-school girl that somehow finds herself in this position. The really scary part is that AZ voters in this part of the State have a bad track record in this area. The socialist Grijalva was elected here and this county went for Kerry. Randy has a tough fight here.

What do you expect from a nude erection for america?
Giffords is a board member of the Southern Arizona Chapter of the ACLU.
SHe's hanging with the impeached X-president tonite.
Makes her money just like REID does and PETERSON and GRIJALVA does on shady land deals.
It's odd how my original reporting keeps getting shuttled off to B&P. I guess what I need to do is stop including so many footnotes and start making things up just like the MSM. Maybe then my posts will stay in the News section. I should also stop discussing things that actually matter and might have an impact if more widely known.
