Grijalva criticizes governor's approach to illegal immigration

YUMA, Ariz. Democratic U-S Representative Raul Grijalva (gree-HAHL'-vuh) of Arizona has criticized Governor Janet Napolitano's steps to crack down on illegal immigration, saying her border plans are an insult to Mexican-Americans.

The governor has taken steps for state authorities to confront Arizona's immigration problems and has proposed a 100 (m) million dollar plan that includes new state police squads focused on border security and millions of dollars for communities to tackle border-related woes.

The governor also is asking the military to pay for stationing an unspecified number of National Guard troops at Arizona-Mexico border.

The congressman's criticism first appeared in an article in Bajo El Sol, the Spanish language weekly sister publication of The Sun in Yuma.

Grijalva told The Sun that the governor's plan needs to be more not inclusive.

Napolitano spokeswoman Pati Urias says the governor consults with a number of people, including Latinos in Phoenix and border communities, when shaping immigration policy.
