Indeed, Napolitano set the tone for Rocky Mountain Democrats in 2005, declaring a state of emergency and asking President Bush to move the National Guard down to the border--but also supporting a guest-worker program and eventual citizenship for those already here illegally. "The Republican Party has spent a lot of time eating its own, with the far-right making war on moderates over immigration and values issues," Napolitano told me.
