This is a very good litmus test. Any politician who doesn’t support this law has exposed themselves as being unwilling to enforce immigration law.

Good for her.

I don't see this hurting Fiorina, not even in California. Most voters think the law is a good idea, the elites’ cater-walling notwithstanding.

I was watching Fox 11 News here in LA last night and all they were bitching about was the Arizona law and how “Most Californians support amnesty” hmmm, they NEVER interviewed me and the only ones who want amnesty for illegals are progressives who see them as Dem voters. I was never a fan of Fiorina but now that she has said this she gets one good mark in my book

All three Republican candidates are now officially declared to support the law.

Vote for the best and proven conservative in the race...
Chuck DeVore

I seem to recall that Prop 187 to deny state services to illegal aliens passed by 60% to 40% back in 1994. Of course it was subsequently overturned by the judicial tyranny there.

Chuck DeVore is a good man. It’s too bad he’s not a strong candidate.

Even Tom Campbell, one of her opponents and constitutional lawyer, said the law is constitutional. I half expected him to bad-mouth it. Good for the both of them.

so she stands for the law good for her.

Now maybe we need to get those who defend illegal activity on record as saying so.

As for the MSM they make me sick, they are not bias they’re corrupt .

It’s sickening to see that we do not have a fair and free media now.
Will Wolf now grill the rats on their support of illegals, notice the word ILLEGALS and will he get them to say that illegals should not be here as they are breaking the law

One of the left's favorite words is "unfair".

I don't know why the anti-illegal candidates don't pound away at how unfair it is to those who come here legally and play by the rules.

From what I've read, coming here legally is a pain in the neck. They should not be punished for going through the bureaucracy and waiting in line, while those who cheat get rewarded.

I think we have entered the litmust test election.

Fiorina is already in the idiot class.

all candidates must be:

small government
build border fence
lower taxes
traditional marriage (NO civil union BS)
pro-second amendment
pro-abortion restrictions (I give on this to use the ratchet effect to our advantage)
English is the official language
Strong US military (do ask do expell)

You're singing my song. Run for office, I'll vote for you.

And I agree. I'm looking for candidates who support those positions without batting an eye. Flat out.

Your list won't fly in CA.

CA is ripe for smaller govt...but more (l)ibertarian on social issues.

A true fiscal and Constitutional, 10th Amendment "conservative" can win state-wide here for federal office.

If such a litmus test is imposed, they cannot and you'll get a fiscal/constitutional liberal along with the social liberal...all in the same Dem package.
