National Governors Association: Immigration

Illegal Immigration Dept: The law, considered the strictest response yet to illegal immigration in the country, has seen the 65-year-old governor accused of instigating racial profiling and the harassment of Latino residents of the state, according to Globe And Mail. Even U.S. President Barack Obama has called the law “misguided,” and Ms. Brewer will be met by protesters when she arrives in Boston this weekend for the National Governors Association Meeting and arizona Governor Janice Brewer has become the unlikely focal point of the U.S. immigration battle after signing into law Bill 1070 in April, giving police powers to question suspects about their status while investigating other crimes, and making it illegal to employ or transport anyone who is not a U.S. citizen. Artists including Kayne West have vowed to avoid the state until the law is repealed, and other cities across the country have voted to boycott business with Arizona. As reported in the news.
