From freep.com:
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox plans to file a legal brief supporting Arizona’s immigration law and sent a letter today asking other state attorneys general to join him.
Cox, one of five Republicans running for Michigan governor, said in the letter that the U.S. Justice Department’s legal challenge to the Arizona law “seeks to remove the power of the states” to enforce their own immigration statutes along with federal immigration laws.
He also argues that under the federal government’s approach, “there is no cooperative effort on immigration but only a one-way street where states lose control over their borders and are left to guess at the reality of the law.”
He’s asking for replies by Tuesday afternoon.
