Jane Norton, Scott McInnis comment on Arizona’s law that enforces the Federal statute

While Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis is catching the expected flack from the Left for his declaration of support for Arizona's new law that requires state and local police to enforce Federal laws that the Feds aren't enforcing, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jane Norton has taken a more cautious stand on the law. She'll catch criticism for supporters of illegal immigrants as well as from anti-illegal immigration folks. In a statement, Norton elaborated on what she told me during our interview last Tuesday: The time has come to secure America’s borders and end illegal immigration. America is a nation established on the rule of law, and if I'm elected as your U.S. Senator, I will demand that our immigration laws are enforced. America was established and built by immigrants and will continue to need immigrants for its future economic vitality and global competitiveness. I will insist on an enforceable and verifiable temporary worker program to meet the needs of our nation’s economy to ensure that employers hire only people who are here legally and that their stay is truly temporary. We have the technology to do this in a way that is fair and sensible, and I believe we must. Amnesty violates the rule of law. Those who wish to obtain American citizenship must follow the legal process, and therefore I oppose amnesty and efforts to create a ‘path to citizenship’ for people in this country illegally. Her complete release is after the jump:
