Former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, now a GOP candidate for governor, used his first television ad of the election cycle to take on immigration, the “gay lobby” and liberal judges.

The 30-second ad, which began airing today on broadcast television statewide, mostly touts Thomas’ attempts at enforcing immigration during his tenure as Maricopa County Attorney. Alongside Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Thomas made a name for himself by taking a hard line against immigration along the Arizona-Mexico border.

Why do they keep referring to the “Alien Invasion” as “immigration”?

I have seen her ads twice now and Jones is coming out pretty strong against amnesty:

Christine Jones, Republican

Jones, former executive vice president of GoDaddy, said securing the border is a top priority.

She wants to secure the border by adding more troops on the ground and improving technology. She also wants to go after drug trafficking and human smuggling, two things she said are “causing our citizens to live in danger.”

“If we do that then we can probably have a conversation about what do we do with the people who are here,” she said, referring to undocumented immigrants. “There are millions upon millions of people living in the shadows in this country who want to come out and live in the light, and we should let them get in the light.”

Jones said she doesn’t think Congress will pass an immigration reform bill any time soon and suggested that state leaders should work with members of Arizona’s congressional delegation “to make some progress” on the issue.

Whatever, it is AZ, and they nearly always nominate bad candidates.
