July 11, 2019 at 1:19 pm
"Mayor John Giles and a bipartisan group of mayors met with Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan in El Paso, TX, to discuss the dramatic impact of the border crisis on communities in the Southwest. Giles played a leadership role in the meeting as Chair of the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) Immigration Reform Task Force . . . "
Mayor Giles became engaged at the national level on the issue of immigration and asylum seekers when he saw the local impacts created by the surge of people across the state of Arizona. He has worked to find resources for the non-profit organizations and faith groups who have stepped up to fill in the gaps left by the federal government. . ."

Hizzoner John Giles Now Re-Inventing Himself
as "Border Mayor"
Mesa-born native Mayor John Giles was recently made the Co-Chairman of the new Immigration Reform Task Force by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He's now 'on a new mission' to transform the city's reputation beyond Mesa-native Russell Pearce's hangover from SB1070 as well as the convictions for 'racial profiling' by infamous ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Giles, a former track start and personal-injury/accident law attorney, will be trying to score again for re-election in 2020. His political career hangs on re-inventing himself to a growing active mobilized Latino population in a more diverse Mesa.
That could be a challenge locally. . .
