  • A Conversation with Sr. Elizabeth Carey
    September 2019 A Conversation with Sr. Elizabeth Carey You’ve heard of the FIVE brave nuns who came from Ireland to begin our school in 1954, but who was the SIXTH? by Debra LaPlante & Mary Jo Wahlers The following is our conversation with Sr. Elizabeth, the 6th nun to arrive, about her memories of the beginning years at SS. Simon & Jude School. How did it come about that you would be sent to Arizona? I had already made my final profession and knew the other Loreto Sisters who were here in Arizona as they were from County Westmeath, so I was sent to replace Sr. Carmel in 1955. (Sr. Maria Sheerin who is also currently living at the convent was also sent with Sr. Elizabeth to Arizona at that time, but she only stayed one year as she was called to do further studies.) Did you have any reservations about coming to Arizona? Like the original five, I thought I may not return to Ireland again, but five years later, I was lucky enough to be able to travel to see my family! As the Loreto Sisters grew in numbers throughout the United States, we often traveled to attend meetings in other cities in the U.S, or other countries, and were given the opportunity to visit our families in Ireland. Did you live in the convent here on campus? No, the convent wasn’t built yet, so we lived in a house on 27th Drive in the beginning years. We burned our garbage right at the house in those days, and never crossed the irrigation ditch.

  • Immigration Restriction in the States: Pushing the Boundaries of Federalism
    Immigration Restriction in the States: Pushing the Boundaries of Federalism Abstract: Recent policy initiatives in several states have create an expanded immigration law enforcement role for state and local officials, unleashing a debate over preemption of federal authority that is now playing out in the courts. We explain the increasingly contested boundaries of federalism with regard to immigration policy by focusing on how a restrictionist policy coalition has pursued new methods to block unauthorized immigrants’ access to employment, housing, or public services at the state level. Four cases (Arizona, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina) illustrate our argument about the key role of two factors in advancing restrictionist policy innovations. First, restrictive policies reflect the success of a coalition of state and national actors who have placed immigration at the top of the policy agenda within state Republican parties, usually at the expense of business interests that favor facilitating access to unauthorized immigrant labor. Second, direct democracy has been crucial to the diffusion of restrictive policies, both by facilitating policy adoption and by providing policy models to be emulated even in states that lack ballot initiatives. Gary Reich (University of Kansas) and Jay Barth (Hendrix College) State Politics and Policy Conference Houston, Texas February 2012 Immigration Restriction in the States: Pushing the Boundaries of Federalism State and local government is now the central arena in immigration-related policymaking in the US—and the past year saw heightened conflict concerning the boundaries of state versus federal jurisdictional authority. The present controversy centers on laws enacted in Arizona, Utah, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama that require state and local officials to investigate and report violations of federal immigration law while also creating criminal penalties for business and labor transactions involving unauthorized immigrants.

  • 2010-III-02] Contact: Bruce Hernandez Vice President Or Earl De Berge Research Director
    behavior research center’s Rocky Mountain Poll NEWS RELEASE [RMP 2010-III-02] Contact: Bruce Hernandez Vice President or Earl de Berge Research Director TERRY GODDARD TRAILING 20 POINTS BEHIND JAN BREWER IN CONTEST FOR GOVERNOR Phoenix, Arizona. July 16, 2010. Incumbent Governor Jan Brewer had a commanding lead in her primary election even before her principal GOP rivals withdrew from the race. As well she has a 20 point lead over Democrat Terry Goddard in the test general election. Governor Brewer does not, however, have majority of the vote against Mr. Goddard (45% to 25%), the current State Attorney General who has yet to launch a major media campaign. Additionally, eight percent of the vote is flowing to third party candidates. Governor Brewer’s job ratings have certainly improved since January of this year when only a fifth of voters thought she was doing a good job in office and she was facing what looked like a major challenge from Dean Martin and Buzz Mills. On the other hand, even with a major increase in positive job ratings from Republican voters, her overall job rating among the general electorate remains very mixed with 40 percent rate her performance as good, 23 percent say her performance is only fair and another 23 percent rate her performance as poor. Fourteen percent are not sure how to evaluate her performance. Two thirds of Democrats and over half of Independent voters rate her performance as only fair or as poor, as do 31 percent of Republicans. That being said, she no longer faces significant opposition in her primary election and starts into the general with a 20 point lead over rival Terry Goddard.
