drew the biggest cheers when he said he supports Nevada approving an illegal-immigration enforcement bill like the one signed into law Friday in Arizona, and immediately criticized by President Barack Obama.That law makes it a crime under Arizona law to be in the country illegally. It also requires police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants; allows lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws; and makes it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them.
"Why are we answering questions on whether illegal immigration should be legal," Montandon said. "I support what Arizona did absolutely."
He added that he supports profiling, calling it the single greatest tool of law enforcement.(Brian) Sandoval also said he would back an Arizona-type immigration law and as governor he would take an "aggressive" stand against employers who hire illegal immigrants. But (Gov. Jim) Gibbons
received some booing when he said Nevada doesn't have the same problem as Arizona because it doesn't have a border with Mexico.Sounds like the Arizona precedent is catching on in republican primaries already.
