Steve Poizner: I'll make sure state contractors don't hire illegal immigrants

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner said today in Upland that as governor he'll make sure state contractors and subcontractors aren't hiring illegal immigrants.

Poizner said he'll use the federal e-verify system to ensure that. He also said he'll end the state's relationship with any contractor found to be hiring illegal immigrants.

Poizner will hold a press conference with Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich this afternoon to condemn the board of supervisors' move to boycott doing business with the state of Arizona over its law requiring police check the immigration status of people they've stopped if they suspect they're here illegally.

"All they've done in Arizona is made it illegal to be illegal," Poizner told a small group in Upland just now.
