Yesterday, gubernatorial candidate and state Treasurer Dean Martin unveiled his plan to combat illegal immigration and called for -- among other things -- a statewide "Tent City" for illegal immigrants arrested in Arizona.

In his announcement, Martin was sure to point out that his plan got a wink and a nod from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Martin's announcement is viewed by some as a political move in attempt to one-up Jan Brewer after she signed off on Arizona's controversial, new immigration law.

Check out the details of Martin's plan here.
