Author of Arizona Immigration Law Loses Recall Election

Russell Pearce, the author of the controversial Arizona legislation aimed at illegal immigrants, lost a recall election last night and has been voted out of office.

He was forced into the recall election after disapproving constituents collected more than 10,000 signatures. He was defeated in the election by fellow Republican Jerry Lewis, who said that Pearce's immigration law had made Arizona "a pariah." Lewis is proposing a more cooperative stance against illegal immigration which aims to seek solutions by working with federal authorities and other parties.
