shortformblog: Jan Brewer vs. Obama: An airport meeting turns into an epic battle She wrote some things in her book he didn’t like: The tough-on-immigration Arizona governor, who was not particularly happy with the way the president treated her in a much-talked-about-at-the-time 2010 meeting, wrote about it in her new book ”Scorpions for Breakfast,” and Obama didn’t like what she said. So, last night, when Obama got into Phoenix, this happened. ”I will say that a picture is what it is,” she said. “I must say, I was not hostile. I was trying to be very, very gracious. I respect the office of the president, and I would never be disrespectful in that manner.” What we would give to hear that conversation up close. (AP Photo) source Follow ShortFormBlog

The Daily: Utah “Gets It Right On Immigration”

From The Daily:

On Friday night in Salt Lake City, House lawmakers passed three bills.

Utah’s HB 497 [requires] that officers verify the immigration status of anyone arrested for a felony or class A misdemeanor.

The second bill, HB 466, calls for a commission to consider a worker exchange program between Utah and the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon. 

The third, if properly administered, could be the most revolutionary. HB 116 would allow for undocumented residents to work legally after passing U.S. federal and state background checks and paying a fine of $2,500.
