Let's take a look at the AZ Republic's reprint of the L.A. Times story about the Democratic Mass Illegal Immigration Plan. Bear in mind that both identify the author as Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar and are (more or less) the same article.
The AZ Republic version is named 'Alternative on migrants: Dems set to offer more lenient plan on immigration'.
The L.A. Times version is named 'Dueling Immigration Ideas Frame a Key Election Issue: Democrats counter Bush's guest-worker concept with a move toward citizenship'.
But, that's not the worst part.
The AZ Republic's version has replaced every occurence of the word "illegal" with "undocumented" or similar. No, really. For instance, here's the first paragraph of the Times story:
Congressional Democrats, playing catch-up with President Bush's guest-worker proposal, plan to introduce an immigration reform bill Tuesday that would put millions of illegal immigrants on the path to citizenship but restrict the entry of future workers.

America, and it's agro buisness depends on illegal, opps I mean undocumented aliens.
In the construction field I work in if it were not for the illegals someone would have to start paying laborers more.
Of course then each phase of building would make the structure being built cost more.
Thats where the republicans tell you it's passed onto the consumer.
