Arizona Attorney General
Democratic candidate for Governor
"The bill the Governor just signed does nothing to secure our border or make us safer from the cartel violence behind most border crime," Goddard said. "We need stronger penalties against illegal entry, and I have made specific recommendations to the President for real federal border reform."
Should have included border enforcement
Dean Martin
Arizona Treasurer
Republican candidate for Governor
Treasurer Dean Martin said, "Despite her initial delay, I'm pleased Governor Brewer will sign SB1070. This legislation gives law enforcement the tools they need to keep people and property in Arizona safe.
Unfortunately Arizona became a national spectacle as Governor Brewer waited until this week to read a bill that was introduced and debated months ago. It was troubling that it took the urging of myself and many others before she felt compelled to act on an issue that has affected Arizona for decades."
Martin continued, "I am also grateful to those in law enforcement who diligently and equitably enforce our laws without prejudice and with great respect and care to equally protect our civil rights. It is that balance that must be supported now and it is that balance that we all must be committed to on behalf of all our wonderful citizens, our heritage, and our future."
"I strongly support the need for Arizona to step up to protect legal residents and their property rights. Which is why the Governor should have been actively involved with the bill in the legislature."
"As Governor I would have made sure SB1070 also included measures to improve border security including National Guard deployment, finishing the fence, and additional resources to local and county law enforcement."
