Meanwhile, the self-described moderate on social issues Kirk went rogue on the conservative wing of his own Republican Party when he spoke out Tuesday against the Arizona crackdown on immigration.So, now that he's become a Republican U.S. Senate candidate, I guess it's good that we know he doesn't like the law of the land. What AZ did was simply provide a warning, "hey, we're actually going to start enforcing the law now." Some of these politicians are just incredible. He's also probably another politician that has not read the law anyway.
"I understand the way Arizona citizens feel. But one state acting alone can't solve this problem. This is a core federal responsibility," said Kirk.
Kirk's Democratic opponent Alexi Giannoulias also opposes the Arizona law because he believes it is divisive and encourages racial profiling.
Both Kirk and Giannoulias support versions of comprehensive immigration reform as national policy.
