PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has announced a Nov. 8 recall election for the leader of the state Senate who was the chief sponsor of the state's controversial legislation against illegal immigration.

Brewer's action Tuesday was expected because elections officials certified last week that opponents of Senate President Russell Pearce had collected enough signatures to force the recall election.

Pearce is best known for sponsoring immigration measures, including the 2010 enforcement law known as SB1070. A judge has placed key provisions of that measure on hold while they're challenged in federal court.

But the people calling for the Republican's ouster have focused their criticism on other issues, such as cuts to education and social services.

He says he'll remain in office and campaign for retention by voters in his legislative district.

Surprisingly MOST of the comments are PRO-Immigration. Thanks to these bigot racists, America is finally opening their eyes. So Thank You State Senator Pearce and Good Riddance.!

He's won 16 straight elections. I don't see the point of all of this
