George LeMieux Calls for Arizona Immigration Law in Florida

Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, now running in the Republican primary to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, weighed in on immigration on Wednesday. He called for bringing an Arizona-style law on immigration to Florida.

Earlier today, the governor of Arizona filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court ruling that has blocked their most effective efforts to solve their illegal immigration crisis, noted LeMieux. The federal government has failed for far too long to protect our borders and address our system of legal immigration, resulting in more crime and more costs for communities all over America. I fully support Arizonas attempt to get control of their illegal immigration problem and I supported a similar Florida-style law to address the challenges specific to our state. When I return to the U.S. Senate, I will vote to secure our borders and reach a solution once and for all.
