Keet Criticizes Beebe on Arizona Immigration Ruling

Yesterday, a federal court issued an injunction against a significant portion of Arizona’s new immigration law.  Republican Jim Keet, who is running for governor of Arkansas, issued a statement saying he supported the Arizona law, opposed the court’s ruling, and criticized Gov. Mike Beebe with the familiar line that he did not speak out enough.

“The Obama Administration claims that the Arizona law is in conflict with federal law, but is silent with respect to sanctuary cities, which are an obvious violation of federal law. This double-standard is troubling to anyone serious about securing our borders. Governor Beebe’s silence on this is another instance where he has quietly supported the Obama administration and its agenda,” said Keet.

So I asked Gov. Beebe’s campaign for a response.

“Governor Beebe supports the right of Arizona and every other state to protect their citizens and believes the federal government should enforce the immigration laws fully and fairly,” said Anne Hughes, Press Secretary for Beebe for Governor. “For Governor Beebe, this is not just political rhetoric. It’s precisely what Mike Beebe did as the chief law enforcement office of the state and it is precisely what he is doing as governor.”
