Arizona conservatives want to put a Texas-style illegal immigration law on the ballot this November, after the measure was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Conservatives in the Arizona legislature want to put a Texas-style anti-illegal immigration law on the ballot in November, after the state’s Democratic governor vetoed the bill earlier this year. The Republican-controlled legislature in the border state approved a measure in February that would make illegal immigration a state crime and allow police to arrest those on suspicion of being in the state illegally.
But it was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in March. 'This bill does not secure our border. On the contrary, it will be harmful for businesses and communities in our state and a burden for law enforcement personnel,' said Hobbs. 'I know there’s frustration about the federal government’s failure to secure our border, but this bill is not the solution.
Kolodin is calling on leadership to convene a special hearing because it is past the deadline and it needs waiving by a vote of the majority of the chamber. He believes there is support in the legislature, but it’s just about making it actually happen. 'I would say in the House, all of the Republicans are supportive in principle.
The push by Arizona represents the latest push by red states to take matters related to immigration into their own hands. A Louisiana legislator recently introduced a Texas-style law, while a similar measure is heading to Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ desk. Other measures are moving forward in Tennessee, Oklahoma and Georgia. Kolodin said the move is in response to inaction from the feds. He gave a similar justification for his push for the ballot measure.
