Statement on HB2807
May 06, 2008
I am disappointed that Governor Napolitano vetoed legislation that would have ended so-called 'sanctuary city' policies. HB2807 sought to eliminate policies that prevent peace officers from inquiring as to the immigration status of suspects and reporting that information to federal authorities. The bill would have also encouraged law enforcement agencies to team up with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to train officers to investigate violations of federal immigration law.
This bill would have law enforcement statewide follow Sheriff Joe Arpaio's lead in refusing to turn a blind eye towards illegal immigration. This bill passed the State House unanimously and with a sizable margin in the State Senate. It is regrettable the Governor has caved in to the interests of the illegal immigration lobby and rejected this legislation.
