PHOENIX, AZ – Randy Pullen, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, challenged Governor Napolitano to enforce the new immigration legislation that was signed into law today.
“It’s interesting to me that if Governor Napolitano had enforced propositions 100 and 200 after they had been overwhelmingly approved by Arizona’s voters, there would have been no need for the state legislature to act,” said Pullen. “The Governor is clearly maneuvering to find political relevancy and ensure some form of political longevity for herself.”
HB 2779 requires employers to identify the legal status of their employees, HB 1265 requires the courts to deny bail to illegal aliens, and HB 2467 requires proof of identification for access to state administered services.
“Previously, Governor Napolitano had taken no action on the immigration question other than to blame the federal government and weaken the enforcement of Propositions 100 and 200.
“The real test is to see if Governor Napolitano chooses to actually enforce the new legislation she just signed into to law. To the Governor, all I can say is: do your job,” concluded Pullen.
