California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina voiced support Friday for Arizona’s new immigration law even as she deplored a “racist tone” that’s developed in some corners of her party over the highly charged issue.
The former Hewlett Packard CEO said the law’s passage stemmed from Washington’s failure to address the problem of illegal immigration through stricter border enforcement and a practical temporary worker program.
But when asked in an interview with POLITICO if Republicans needed to make any changes in their approach to the growing Hispanic community, Fiorina replied, "There has been a very unfortunate racist tone that has emerged in a lot of the discussion about immigration and that's inexcusable. We must be a country that welcomes legal immigrants to this country. We must be a country that recognizes that we have industries like agriculture that have depended on temporary migrant labor for generations."

yup they are racist but it seems we have a racist presidente
someone please tell her its not about immigration...its about illegals and not upholding the laws of the land
IF you think America’s tone to border debate is racist, you should really examine Mexico’s. THAT is a real shocker.
If I can come up with that off the top of my head, I'd hope somebody vying for a seat in the US Senate could do at least as much.
There is racism in this debate, and it is the DNC that is injecting it.
That Carly couldn’t see it or say it tells me everything. I’ve been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I give up.
I will not vote for her. If she’s the only one on the ballot I’ll write in pissant’s name. I’ve had it.
Fiorina is an idiot.
Agreed.
Anybody seen a single republican leader who hasn’t punted on this issue, or worse? I haven’t.
I understand the politics, that demonstrates the corrosive effect of this situation.
It’s offensive, because there has not been a single “racial overtone”.
Republicans create imaginary villains in their own party.
Yes.... Chuck DeVore is the RIGHT CHOICE!
Carly sure knows how to endear herself to the people she wants to vote for her, doesn’t she?
We are seriously on the verge of losing our country.
When the simple concept of protecting our borders and upholding our immigration laws is a ‘controversial’ issue, we as a nation are totally screwed.....
Let’s just make Mexico the 58th state and damn be done with it!!!! ... While we’re at it, are there any Central American sh1t holes we can also bring in?
stfu stupid woman
(sexist tone intended)
Carly, get back in your LIMOUSINE and have a drink.
Another Republican who is deeply concerned about the murder of Robert Krentz.....Sarc.....
THAT’s EXACTLY how we need to start playing this....these idiots are NOT AT ALL concerned about American Citizens being killed by illegals....THAT needs to be thrown in their faces NOW.
Yep. Duncan Hunter (dad). Duncan Hunter (son), James Inhofe, JD Hayworth
“Tone.”? What about the substance of the law. Basically it does nothing more than make illegal residence a state crime, hence making apparent violaters subject to arrest by police officers and subject to prosecution in the state courts. Given that a valid driver’s license is regarded as proof of legal residence, what can they call this unreasonable? Besides legal aliens carry a green card or a passport which serves the same purpose. The question of race is raised only to discourage application of the law.
Cheap labor is more important than human lives for the Carly Fiorina’s of the world.
The money of the pro-illegal immigraton business people buys politicians of both parties.
