Raul Grijalva’s father came to America under the bracer program: “Under the era of the Bracero Program, my father immigrated to this great nation in 1945 in search for a better life for his family.” (grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=76 )

Raul Grijalva continually supposed initiatives that would increase job growth, including Job Creation through Entrepreneurship Act (H.R. 2352) (grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=13&parentid=5&sectiontree=&itemid=357 )

Raul Grijalva also led the charge to prevent Congress from extending tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans, writing: “According to a recent report by the Center for American Progress, the economy boasted 132 million jobs in June 2001, the month that the first of the Bush tax cuts was signed into law. By June 2004, there were just 131.4 million jobs — a decrease of 600,000 jobs. Furthermore, a recent report from the Tax Policy Center states that, “Roughly 97 percent of small businesses would not be affected at all by increases in the top two tax rates.”  [suggesting we cut b/c it adds length but doesn't talk directly about jobs]( tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/09/house-progressives-press-pelosi-not-to-pass-extension-of-bush-high-income-tax-cuts.php )

According to the Arizona Daily Star, in the paper’s endorsement of Grijalva: “We also agree with Grijalva that comprehensive federal immigration reform must be a priority in Washington. The border-security clamor obscures the larger issues, which are mostly economic. Grijalva believes, and we concur, that along with border security, reform must include a path to citizenship for illegal migrants who are already in this country and have no criminal history, along with temporary worker and other expanded work-visa programs.” (azstarnet.com/news/opinion/editorial/article_4167e7b8-c9ae-5016-aafd-98b99e98b7f5.html )
