Arizona Governor will not support law removing illegals from the state. Can’t win elections without them.
The legislature passed a bill that outlawed local jurisdictions from passing ordinances that would prevent local police from working with federal immigration authorities or block federal immigration actions and funding, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
So what did the governor do? She vetoed the bill.Hobbs’ veto runs contrary to polls showing that voters are increasingly leaning towards stricter immigration policies. Last year, for instance, polls showed that 63 percent of Arizonans supported Proposition 314, a measure that would criminalize entering the state illegally. Another poll last year found hat a strong majority felt that the U.S. had lost control over the border under Biden.
And once the dust settled for last year’s elections, Arizonans had sent more Republicans to the state legislature.
