Looks like AZ will likely to join the Utah Compact.
Another form of good news since Pearce got the recall boot!
Quote:
Arizona's newest state senator is taking the national stage as an advocate for a moderate approach to immigration reform.
Within hours of defeating Senate President Russell Pearce in last week's District 18 recall election, Jerry Lewis made it clear he is intent on reversing what he has called Arizona's dismal image on civil-rights and immigration issues.
Lewis, a Mesa Republican, will take Pearce's seat after election results are certified, most likely next week.
Joining other advocates of immigration reform, Lewis participated in a national teleconference to mark the Nov. 11, 2010, adoption of a document called the Utah Compact, which advocates a more humane approach to immigration issues.
