VAN SUSTEREN: The governor has a bill on her desk to sign or not sign by Saturday which goes pretty far in terms of the state of Arizona requiring police officers to stop someone who they might have reasonable suspicion to be an illegal immigrant and ask for identification. What is your position on this statute?

KYL: First of all, you can see why after years of inadequate enforcement by the federal government that states are driven to do this, because the people demand act. The political representatives of the people then decide finally to do something.

This is how the Arizona representatives and senators and potentially the governor have reacted to it. I don't know that I would write the same law, but I understand what is behind it.

And my own view is until the federal government does our part back here by providing the resources that are necessary, and that could include, by the way, the financial resources to support National Guard troops on the border, then you are going to see more of this. It won't just be the state of Arizona that passes laws like this.
