Jolley: A Correction On The Arizona Cattlemen’s Association Position On Arizona’s Immigration Bill

Patrick A Bray, Deputy Director of Government Affairs for the Arizona Cattlemen's Association, sent a note clarifying a statement I made in my article about that state's immigration bill. To read the original article, click here.

He said, "I read your article on Arizona’s SB 1070 today and wanted to let you know that the association took no position on the bill. Unfortunately this would not have helped Robert Krentz and it does not help any of our folks along the border. We must keep our focus on securing the border and this law will affect all of Arizona without securing 1 mile of border. We are clearly frustrated by the Fed’s inability to act but before they even touch immigration reform we have to secure the border first. I have attached a clip from Fox News that Steve Brophy did this morning that I think is fitting."

View the clip. It strikes me as a very clear and concise solution to correcting the border security issue.
