After cracking down on illegal immigration a new law, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Called By President Barrack Husein Obama. President Obama voiced concerns that the measure could violate civil rights. Jeffrey Brown talks to Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva and Mike Hethmon of the Immigration Law Reform Institute about potential changes in U.S. immigration policy.

Governor Jan Bewer is expected to announce the signing of Russell Pearce's bigot bill SB 1070 at 1:30 p.m. today.

Sources say the Governor's staff has been spooked by security concerns, which is why it's not taking place at the Governor's office at the Capitol, where throngs of protesters have gathered. Last night, the Governor stomped out of an event for the Hispanic group Chicanos Por La Causa to the cries of "Veto the bill" by the audience. If she signs it, she will appease her Republican base, but earn the enmity of nearly every Latino in the state, along with everyone else who has opposed this bill inside and outside Arizona.
The new law would go into effect 90 days after the state legislature calls sine die. Various civil rights organizations are anticipated to challenge it in federal court. Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva has called for a boycott of the state unless Brewer vetoes it.
