Quinn blasts Ariz. immigration law

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is blasting a tough new Arizona immigration law.

The Chicago Democrat says the law wrongly singles out American citizens because of their Hispanic surname or the way that they look. Quinn called that "un-American."

The Arizona law requires law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if they are suspected of being in the country illegally. The law makes it a state crime to be here illegally. It has drawn national attention with protesters and lawsuits challenging the law.

Momentum is growing in other states to crack down on illegal immigration like Arizona.

Quinn says he would not support legislation in Illinois that singled out people because of how they look or what their name is.

Quinn says he supports federal immigration reform.
