GOP AG Candidate Holly Benson Praises Bill McCollum for Defending Arizona Immigration Laws

Holly Benson, who is running in the Republican primary for the attorney general nomination, offered strong words of support for Attorney General Bill McCollum for joining Arizona to defend that states new immigration laws from a lawsuit backed by the Obama White House.

I applaud General McCollum for propelling Florida in the right direction by joining Michigan and several other states in support of the Arizona immigration law that is currently being challenged in federal court by the Obama administration, said Benson, who is facing Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp and Pam Bondi in the primary. I support the current Arizona immigration law and encourage efforts to bring a similar law to the Sunshine State. We must protect our borders and ensure that immigrants living and working in our state are doing so legally."
