Azteca America's 'Issues: Caras y Voces' Features Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon on Arizona's Immigration Law

WASHINGTON, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Azteca America television network is proud to feature Phil Gordon, Mayor of the City of Phoenix, on this week's broadcast of "Issues: Caras y Voces," hosted by veteran Latino journalist Armando Guzman.

He spoke to Issues: Caras y Voces about Arizona's recent immigration law:

"The excuse is that it is our economy and that they (immigrants) are taking American jobs. I can assure you coming from Arizona and probably going back to 110 degree heat tomorrow, I'll tell you that they're not a lot of Americans that are going to stand in the heat of the fields to pick the food that you and I are eating."

Covering the White House and the Capitol for almost two decades, Mr. Guzman is one of the most respected correspondents in Washington.
