Guests - Gerry Scimeca, Betsy Smith, Sergio Arellano
Gerard Scimeca, Chairman and General Counsel of Consumer Action for a Strong Economy (CASE), joined Winn to explain why immigration enforcement matters economically. Scimeca emphasized that stable commerce and secure jobs require law and order. "In order to have a viable economy, in order to have a stable economy and regular commerce, where people feel secure in their jobs and secure in their purchases, you can't have rampant crime in the streets, you can't have lawlessness," he said.
Retired Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association and co-host of "Smith & Winn," joined the program to discuss escalating threats to law enforcement.
Sergio Arellano, newly elected chair of the Pima County Republican Party (and recent candidate for Arizona GOP chair), closed the program. Arellano, a combat veteran, former Army infantryman, and former outreach director for Arizona's mortgage settlement program, emphasized unity after a divisive internal process. "We're done with the division. We're done with the fighting," he said.
