Gov. candidates in 20 states endorse anti-immigration laws By: Carrie Budoff Brown September 2, 2010 04:31 AM EDT
It’s not just Arizona.
In states far from the Mexico border — from liberal Massachusetts to moderate Iowa — Democrats and Republicans in gubernatorial races are running on strict anti-illegal-immigration platforms, pledging to sign an array of tough enforcement measures into law come January.
Of the 37 gubernatorial races this year, candidates in more than 20 states have endorsed adopting a strict Arizona-style immigration law or passing legislation that makes it harder for illegal immigrants to live, work and access basic public benefits in their states, according to a POLITICO analysis.
The prevalence of the issue means the Obama administration could find itself battling Arizona-style flare-ups in statehouses across the country, raising pressure on the White House and Congress to break the deadlock in Washington over comprehensive immigration reform.
The Justice Department sued Arizona in hopes of discouraging other states from following its lead and won a ruling blocking provisions of the law that immigrant advocates found most objectionable. But that hasn’t stopped some gubernatorial candidates from trying to one-up each other on the issue.

Carl Paladino in New York (in primary race against RINO Little Ricky Lazio for NY governor) is calling for governors meetings with Brewer and others to support this nationwide
He has a firm understanding that STATES RIGHTS were supposed to trump Federal - except as specifically outlined in the constitution
Good. They should do what Govenor Brewer and the state of Arizona did. Then wait for THE 1 to sick the feds and UN on them.
Being an article from Politico your Leftist Sleight-of-Hand O’ Meter was on the alert, and worked quite well, or was it your BS meter? Regardless good catch.
I need another cup of coffee I guess as I missed that very obvious point, and had emailed the key excerpt already without the appropriate comment. Had to send a correction thanks to your quick action.
RE: Gov. candidates in 20 states endorse anti-immigration laws [It’s not just Arizona........]
Let’s be clear about one thing — Arizona’s Law is NOT anti-immigration, it is anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
That’s great, we only need 37 more states to hop on board and then we’ll have all 57.
Ping!
“THEY ARE anti-ILLEGAL-immigration laws!”
I prefer the terms “border crashers” and “border crashing.”
That would leave us with “State laws against border crashing, in lieu of the federal laws that the Bamtard refuses to enforce.”
Hmph. Rather unwieldy, no?
You’ll notice PolitiCONEHEAD, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Washington COMPOST, calls these measures “anti-immigration laws”, which is total and utter horsepuckey.
They are anti-ILLEGAL ALIEN laws, as Politico knows damn well.
The propagandists at Politico never miss an opportunity to distort the news towards the left via controlling the language. They are disgusting.
I treat Politico’s “news” and “analysis” the same way I do Debkafile: NOT WORTH READING. Weekly World News is better - at least they’re entertaining.
Better call Carrie Brown a waaaaambulance.
Sheriff Joe has just endorsed and actual CONSERVATIVE in California for Governor...you know the candidate the RNC/McCain can’t control!
There IS an alternative to McCain’s girl Whitman and the worn out old liberal Jerry Brown for California Governor!

Los Angeles, Ca - Sheriff Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County, Arizona, known as “America’s Toughest Sheriff”, Former Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode, and Howard Phillips, founder of the Constitution Party, are the most recent prominent Americans to endorse Chelene Nightingale for Governor of California!
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who met with Chelene Nightingale at the Phoenix Rising Rally in June in support of the new Arizona law SB 1070, is one of the strongest opponents of illegal immigration in the nation. Both Sheriff Joe and Chelene Nightingale are recipients of the America First Award, presented by the Constitution Party’s National Veterans Coalition.
Former Congressman Virgil Goode was one of America’s strongest advocates of national and state sovereignty when he represented Virginia’s 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He recently joined the national Constitution Party as a supporting member.
For more information regarding the Nightingale for Governor Campaign, please visit the website at www.nightingaleforgovernor.com or contact Dani Rascon at 949-933-3073, dani@nightingaleforgovernor.com .
I’ll give her a look. I’ve got a vote out here that I’d like to put to good use.
Anti-immigration laws? I sincerely doubt THAT is true.
