When Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer endorsed Jane Norton’s bid to oust Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) this past weekend, for instance, she emphasized Norton’s tough-on-immigration reputation: “Jane will fight Barack Obama’s heavy-handed and unconstitutional attempt to block Arizona’s landmark immigration law. She supports the right of states like Arizona and Colorado to do what the federal government hasn’t – fight back against illegal immigration – and that’s why I’m honored and excited to support Jane Norton.”Norton said at a forum last week that she supports the Arizona law. “Our immigration system is absolutely broken, and the Arizona law is a natural response to a policy that is not doing what it’s supposed to be doing,” she said.
The reason? Despite controversy over the law, it’s popular overall, particularly in Colorado.
