Governors Voice Grave Concerns on Immigration

NY Times:

BOSTON — In a private meeting with White House officials this weekend, Democratic governors voiced deep anxiety about the Obama administration’s suit against Arizona’s new immigration law, worrying that it could cost a vulnerable Democratic Party in the fall elections.

While the weak economy dominated the official agenda at the summer meeting here of the National Governors Association, concern over immigration policy pervaded the closed-door session between Democratic governors and White House officials and simmered throughout the three-day event.

At the Democrats’ meeting on Saturday, some governors bemoaned the timing of the Justice Department lawsuit, according to two governors who spoke anonymously because the discussion was private.

“Universally the governors are saying, ‘We’ve got to talk about jobs,’ ” Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. “And all of a sudden we have immigration going on.”

He added, “It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats.”

They are really going to hate it when Holder loses his case. Legal precedent is on Arizona's side. These issues have already been to Federal Court and the state's right to enforce federal law has been upheld.

 

Virginia's governor is trying to get the same law passed there, and has publicly dared Holder to sue him as well.

 

If he loses this one, I'm betting he's gone.
