Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is currently in Washington and is expected to discuss the matter of the 1200 National Guard troops that the President proposed for the border. It was revealed that the administration assured the Mexican President, who respects the Constitution—including Article IV., Section 4—that they will not be armed and only there to fill administrative roles.
It is not clear if the Arizona Governor scheduled reading classes for Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder who have pledged not to take any action to support the measure that they have not read.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday shows most Americans support the tough immigration law adopted by Arizona in April, but it appears unlikely a similar measure would gain traction in Connecticut.
