Vice President Joe Biden denounced the state's tough immigration law Saturday evening in a speech during a fundraiser for the Arizona Democratic Party.

Biden emerged at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix to speak about health-care reform, federal spending and immigration.


"Our immigration system is broken," Biden, the keynote speaker, told a crowd of about 700 Democratic supporters. "This is a federal responsibility we have not lived up to."

Miles away, protesters had gathered by the thousands to rail against the state's new immigration law, which requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if the officer suspects him or her to be in the country illegally.

Biden argued that Senate Bill 1070, signed into law April 23, will "only increase fear, suspicion and intolerance." He called it "misguided" and received a standing ovation when he said the government "cannot single out people just because of the way they look."

The annual Heritage Dinner for the Arizona Democratic Party also featured Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and Attorney General Terry Goddard, a gubernatorial candidate.

Biden said he endorsed Goddard, who faces a tough challenge in majority support among Arizonans for the new immigration measure.

The dinner kicked off fundraising for the campaign season, a spokeswoman said.

He totaly ignored the new house bill.

The governor's signature on House Bill 2162 modifies a measure signed into law by Brewer last week that requires police to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect to be in the country illegally. Barring a successful legal challenge, the law goes into effect July 29.

"Our immigration system is broken," Biden, the keynote speaker, told a crowd of about 700 Democratic supporters. "This is a federal responsibility we have not lived up to."
