Obama to send 1,200 troops to U.S.-Mexico border

Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, a group that wants to
reduce legal and illegal immigration, was pleased

Arizona law is,” Beck said. The law requires police to c
heck immigration status if they suspect that
someone they detain is in the country illegally.http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-05-25-obama-immigration_N.htmBy Alan Gomez and Richard Wolf — USA TODAY
