Candidate for governor, Fla. AG Bill McCollum now backs AZ immigration law


Newfound Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rick Scott came out swinging this week in defense of Arizona's anti-immigration law -- and taking a jab at primary foe Bill McCollum, who said three weeks ago the law was too "far out" for Florida.

"I think Arizona has its own unique problems; I don't think Florida should enact laws like this that are quite that far out," McCollum said on April 27, four days after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the law critics said would task police with questioning anyone who could appear to be in the country illegally, leading to racial profiling.

"The law in Arizona for my purposes goes further than I would go. I would not do that."

But no sooner had Scott released a new radio ad praising the law then McCollum's campaign released a statement Thursday proclaiming Florida needed one just like it.

3. The Repubs are getting the talking points down.

The law is written in a general way, but it's the way that it's going to be implemented where the problem will develop. In the end, the police will have to prove they're not discriminating and targeting Latinos. Civil rights group will be watching the numbers closely. That's how this law will be defeated.
