Republic's rare front page editorial attacks pols for 'pandering to public fear' with new immigration law

Editorial writer Doug MacEachern said the newspaper has put editorials on Page One over the years, but today's was the first to fill the entire page, according to the Associated Press.

''The federal government is abdicating its duty on the border,'' the editorial says. "Arizona politicians are pandering to public fear. The result is a state law that intimidates Latinos while doing nothing to curb illegal immigration.''
