[Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona] happens by rotation to be the chairwoman and host of this year’s conference, scheduled for September at a resort in Phoenix. ... all six Mexican border governors wrote to her to say they intended to boycott the gathering to protest the new law ... The Mexican governors had written that they would not step foot in Arizona because they considered the law ... to be “based on ethnic and cultural prejudice contrary to fundamental rights.”
Please. Encourage the rest of your population to do the same.
For some reason [and I use the term reason very very loosely] Eric Holder is not challenging similar laws long in place in CA and MO. Nor many other challenges to Fed Law by states and cities around the country.
Now, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico has stepped into the fray, pledging to salvage the conference by finding a site in another state.
“Governor Brewer doesn’t have the authority to cancel the Border Governors Conference,” Gilbert Gallegos, a spokesman for Mr. Richardson said. “She may not want to host it for political reasons, but that’s not a reason to sidestep the tough issues that border governors must address, including migration and border violence. Governor Richardson will look for alternative sites to host the conference, with or without Arizona’s participation.”
Is there anything more pathetic than a man person little slug begging to be allowed to join the forces of darkness—and being rejected again and again and again despite growing that little Evil Twin goatee?
A spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California… said he also supported moving it.

A routine traffic stop has reignited debate about San Francisco’s ability to enforce its sanctuary city policy...
Mr Holder?
Seems that in RI, the State Troopers fairly routinely try to check those without ID. They actually get training in how to contact various consulates and embassies to support non-citizens. And yes, they report illegal occupants to ICE (or whatever the new name is) and other Federal agencies. Just as they routinely contact other States if they find outstanding warrants in one of the databases they consult, which I suppose Holder and Napolitano would consider out-of-bounds…
