Will Arizona Senate Leader Welcome President Obama or “Require Papers”?
A month ago, Pearce, one of the main architects and proponents of the SB 1070 anti-immigration law in Arizona, infamously joked at a Judicial Watch panel: “I can tell you that the best thing about 1070 is that Obama may not be visiting Arizona because we actually require papers now.”
