Senate Meeting in AZ to Discuss Immigration...Arpaio Absent for Colbert Show

(Royce) April 22, 2009

In a short article on ktar.com, The US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee convened in Phoenix, Arizona Monday to discuss border issues in light of the growing drug violence in Mexico.

Among those lawmakers in the spotlight is Senator John McCain, who is under fire from his own party and Latinos due to his previous moderate stance on immigration and for his now reversed immigration policy. He called for more cooperation between the US and Mexico to resolve the border issue.

Not available to testify was the Sheriff Arpaio we've been discussing, who is under intense national scrutiny for his treatment of illegal immigrants. He instead chose to guest on the Stephen Colbert Report in New York.
