DeVore and Campbell explained their reasoning in interviews.
"I certainly view it as a symptom of the fact that the federal government has still not become serious about implementing or enforcing immigration law," DeVore said. "You know, the Arizona law is a cry for help for the federal government to start doing its job. And I think the reaction from Democrats against it is just more proof that not only do the Democrats not oppose illegal immigration, they in fact celebrate it."
Should California pass a similar law?
"I think California would benefit from passing a similar law, but it won't happen given the current state of affairs," DeVore said. "Our state, by comparison, is constantly looking for ways to provide more tax dollars for people who are here illegally. So the battle in this state is considerably different."
Campbell said he doesn't understand the public fuss over the law.
"I support it," he said. "I don't think it deserves the negative attention that it's received, if you take a look at it and actually read it."
He said he likes that every city and municipality has to comply with federal immigration law and that police officers can inquire about immigration status only when they make a legal stop.
"Nothing controversial should have been inferred," Campbell said. "The stop has to be legal to begin with, and the Supreme Court has as long as 1968 upheld the right of a police officer to make a stop and inquire based on reasonable suspicion, not probable cause."
Should California pass a similar law?
"I'm not sure until I see how it works in Arizona," Campbell said.
Amy Thoma, Fiorina's spokeswoman, said Fiorina hasn't had a chance to review the Arizona law in detail and has been focused on California and her race.

BTW Tom Campbell still has not signed on to repeal Obamacare.
DeVore is the man. Thank you AZ for exposing the open-border RINO rats like:
McCain
Graham
Crist
Jeb Bush
Fiorina
Meg Whitman
Pawlenty
Rubio
Dick Armey
Rick Perry (TX)
Fiorina is a bimbo.
Remember, she turned HP from the world’s foremost instrument designer and producer into a printer ink vendor.
I decided I would not vote for Fiorina quite a while ago. And I’m liking DeVore better every day.
If you’d like ON or Off this ping list, let me know here or via FreepMail
NO question that there is only one true conservative in this race - Chuck Devore.
BTTT
Heads up California!
Ping!
Campbell said he doesn’t understand the public fuss over the law.
“I support it,” he said. “I don’t think it deserves the negative attention that it’s received, if you take a look at it and actually read it.”
This is an absolutely wonderful example of how a RINO parses reality to his political advantage. Campbell sees no problem with the law, but knows full well that he wants the illegal to be a citizen through amnesty in the first place, thus making the question of enforcement moot.
At best Fiorina will be forced to go on record as supporting the law as well.
"I think California would benefit from passing a similar law, but it won't happen given the current state of affairs," DeVore said. "Our state, by comparison, is constantly looking for ways to provide more tax dollars for people who are here illegally. So the battle in this state is considerably different."
Fiorina better decide and decide quickly.
Come on CA. Do the right thing!
