Arizona-style immigration law results in clash with Gov. Rick Scott | The State Column: "A top Florida Republican state official said earlier this week that the state should not consider implementing an Arizona-style immigration law.
Adam Putnam, the newly installed commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, opposes Florida Governor Rick Scott’s support of an immigration under consideration.
“Florida is the capital of the Western Hemisphere. We’re a destination for investment capital, international tourists, international research and development and from Latin America in particular,” Mr. Putnam said recently. “We have to be very careful about how we approach this issue.”"
