Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is speaking out against the new hard-line immigration law in Arizona, becoming the first prominent national Republican to do so.
"I think it creates unintended consequences," he said in a telephone interview with POLITICO Tuesday. "It's difficult for me to imagine how you're going to enforce this law. It places a significant burden on local law enforcement and you have civil liberties issues that are significant as well."
The measure, signed into law last Friday, would require police to check the immigration status of any individuals they reasonably suspect are illegal immigrants and arrest them if they can't prove legal status.
Bush said he understood the anger that prompted the bill, but that immigration should remain a federal issue.

“I hope the citizens of Arizona continue to support their Governor and also elect JD Hayworth to the US Senate!”
Three guaranteed JD votes from this household.
If you stop and think about it, your linked information cannot be true.
SB1070 does not become law for another 4 months, at least.
Do you really think an officer is going to drive a suspect Hispanic man home first, just to get his wallet?
Definitely the same thing, thanks.
Good, FR is better than that.
You must really be a lot smarter than I am, if you’re told I am either an illegal or have friends that are, by what I wrote.
Of course I won’t. The point is that here in America, we should not be required to have ID on our person at all times. If you can’t see that, then I’m sorry for you.
If they are "illegal" immigrants, absolutely.
How disappointing Jeb and Rubio have been today:
“The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!”
She was great..especially with the Conservative who didn’t know what he was talking about.
OMG...People here temporarily are ALWAYS asked for their green card. All law enforcement has to do is call ICE. I can’t believe people here are falling for all the propoganda out there. I am proud to be an Arizonan today.
I will try to find a website for the Smith campaign
Smith has dropped out.
How many FReepers once crowed for Jeb to be a Presidential candidate?
Hell, if yer legal - there shouldn't be a problem showing your ID. If yer illegal, then you'd better get wit yer brothas, and get some forged documentation!
“Jeb Bush and his brother failed to sell any compromise. Now he should shut up. He isn’t helping.”
It is a good sign the Bush famiglia is opposing this legislation. They lose every single important political fight. Every single one.
So, which would you choose - a boot in the teeth or a dagger in the crotch?
You're promoting "Republicans over RINOs). Let's not get hung up on the "RINO or Republican" issue and instead elect actual conservatives.
“Yes, Jeb’s wife is Hispanic. She also is a smuggler. She smuggled $10,000 worth of designer clothes into this country - AND GOT CAUGHT! That says a lot about the level of integrity.”
Integrity, depth, and intellect.
They are supporting the established GOP leadership...Steele, MCain (no matter what he says today!), Graham, the Bushes.

‘The problem is that this legislation seems to be directed entirely at Hispanic immigrants.’
Do you have ANY evidence for this at all?
