The Democratic Party Platform SUPPORTS Arizona's measures on Illegal Immigration

Here are a few excerpts, within context, from the Democrat Party Platform about illegal immigration: (from page 45 - The Democratic Party Platform)

I have highlighted all the portions of this statement that support Arizona's new law.
the statements in red are highlighted as they are what the controversial Arizona legislation actually ADDRESSES and presents a SOLUTION to.

We cannot continue to allow people to enter the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. The American people are a welcoming and generous people, but those who enter our country’s borders illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of the law. We need to secure our borders, and support additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at our ports of entry. We need additional Customs and Border Protection agents equipped with better technology and real-time intelligence. We need to dismantle human smuggling organizations, combating the crime associated with this trade. We also need to do more to promote economic development in migrant-sending nations, to reduce incentives to come to the United States illegally. And we need to crack down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants. It’s a problem when we only enforce our laws against the immigrants themselves, with raids that are ineffective, tear apart families, and leave people detained without adequate access to counsel. We realize that employers need a method to verify whether their employees are legally eligible to work in the United States, and we will ensure that our system is accurate, fair to legal workers, safeguards people’s privacy, and cannot be used to discriminate against workers.

So - pray tell - why are ALL the Democrats who claim to support and live by the party-platform disagreeing with something that THEY WROTE and are suppose to believe in!?

If the Democrats are SO determined to push all of our country's problems OFF onto Bush and his policies- then SURELY since he didn't do anything about it they should actually SUPPORT these efforts.
