Placement reigns as a key element on the pages of a newspaper. As an example, the Arizona República’s editorial team gives prominence to issues they hold near and dear, such as encouraging Arizona voters to go to the polls to vote away their right to a true primary election. They call the deceptive initiative “Top-2 Primary.“ It has received loving attention from the entire staff, including reporters, editorialists, columnists and the not-so-funny cartoonist.
Another of their handful of pet issues besides normalizing homosexuality, is promoting illegal immigration, in all of its myriad incarnations, including Obama’s amnesty fraud of “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.” This congressional bypass allows millions of illegals to remain in the United States, claim taxpayer funded benefits and education without concerns of deportation or prosecution. There are no provisions to determine the age one was brought here in violation of our laws by their parents, nor is there any enforcement mechanism for those who do not fall within the wide embrace of its parameters — all in time for Obama’s reelection.
Today, the fact that the favored initiative appears to have failed to make the ballot due to fraud on behalf of the petition gatherers rates a bottom of the page placement in Section B.
And the really big news that claims the Page One prominence prize with a top-of-the-page banner headline?
GOP draws line on immigration, platform to embrace SB1070 type laws. The outraged team of Daniel Gonzalez and Bob Ortega would be spitting ink if they still had a need for much of it in the building, as subscriptions dwindle and charges are boosted for online editions.
And what rankles them so? The Republican Party’s sensible attrition policy in the immigration plank, which says “state efforts to reduce illegal immigration must be encouraged, not attacked.”
In the most constricted economy since the Great Depression, Obama and his supporters at the dying Periódico de la República de Arizona (Arizona Republic) continue to angle for an ever greater influx via our southern border — coming to compete with American citizens for fewer jobs as unemployment continues to spiral.
That’s the República and that’s why it’s gasping.
