  • Louis DeSipio, Chicano/Latino studies and political science professor, is quoted in the Homeland Security News Wire and Desert Sun January 22, 2013

From the Homeland Security News Wire:
The Arizona Republic reports that in the past, Brewer has led the move to force illegal immigrants out of the country, but her change of tone reflects a more nuanced approach adopted by some Republicans in the wake of the party’s poor showing among Latino voters in last November’s elections. “Arizona is in an important position to shape the national immigration debate — it’s a border state, it’s a destination of both immigrants and unauthorized immigrants and it’s just naturally positioned … particularly with Sen. (John) McCain’s history in the field,” Louis DeSipio, a political-science professor at the University of California-Irvine told the Republlicc. “To the extent that Governor Brewer is sort of representative of some movement in the Republican Party, I think that’s a positive sign for immigration reform, but it’s certainly not going to tone down the debate nationally — somebody else will pick up her mantle.” The impact, DeSipio said, “will only have an effect to the degree that others follow her.”
