I just think it gets confusing for our communities when the federal law is different from the state law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of industry groups have said they support a federal law. They don't want to have to deal with 50 different state laws.
When the state is most corrupt, then the laws are most multiplied.
If you have a federal government that's not enforcing the law and does not preserve the integrity of its own borders, then naturally, states are going to take matters into their own hands.
As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently.
Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.
There certainly is a lot of political pressure for states to adopt the new federal tax codes. But there is no law that requires them to do so.
If the law doesn't apply equally to everybody, then you don't really have a system of law.
The end game is you change that law to making that law better, whichever law you're talking about.
So if Arizona sees the federal government isn't assuming its responsibilities, it creates local laws. But migration and keeping security on the borders is not a local or state issue, it's a federal issue.
That which is not just is not law.
