Backing AZ Law, Scott Bashes McCollum on Immigration

Conservative businessman Rick Scott has come out in favor of Arizonas new laws on immigration--and is contrasting his record to that of his chief rival in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Attorney General Bill McCollum

"A legal immigration system where everyone plays by the rules is fundamental to our economic and national security, said Scott. The Arizona law is a common sense enforcement of already existing law. If you break the law then law enforcement should be able to ask for identification that shows you are in the United States legally. The only people who have reason to fear the law are people who are here illegally. States like Arizona are in a crisis situation because the career politicians and the federal government have FAILED to secure our border.

The Scott campaign released a statement, blasting McCollums record on immigration and contrasting it with their candidate's.
