Sarah Palin: Every state should have immigration law like Arizona

The ex-Alaskan governor wants to see other states along the Mexican border adopt similar laws.

"Every other state on the border should emulate what Arizona has done," Palin said during an interview on Fox News Business.

"Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, has taken it upon herself and the state government to do what the feds should have been doing all along," she said. "Yes, other states should do what Arizona is doing."

Several states, including Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Maryland and Colorado, are already considering tougher illegal immigration laws in the wake of Arizona's efforts. However, fellow Mexico border states New Mexico, California and Texas have been less willing to adopt similar policies.
