The annual border governors' conference has been moved from Arizona to New Mexico because of all the controversy over the new immigration law. An excerpt from the above article:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, called off the meeting in Phoenix after the Mexican governors planned to boycott it because of Arizona's new immigration
law.
The Mexican governors said in a June letter that Arizona's law
violated civil rights and they suggested moving the conference to another state.
I'm not sure if the Arizona governor moved it herself or if the other governors did, but either way, it's been moved and Brewer isn't going to attend it:
Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman said the Arizona governor had no plans to attend the meeting in Santa Fe, "but would certainly welcome the Mexican and U.S. governors to attend the actual Border Governors Conference in Arizona as they had all previously committed."
I'm confused by this article, actually, but it sounds like Brewer is going to hold her own conference? I don't even know.
Here is what I do know: If anyone deserves to hold the BORDER GOVERNORS' Conference, it's Arizona.
