8. Democrats Demand Ariz. Governor Testify on Immigration The Washington Times reports that Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) invited Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to testify before the Senate about her state’s immigration law, which is slated for a Supreme Court hearing later this year. “As you frequently ask the President to visit the southern border to discuss border security, we expect that you will be eager to engage in a productive dialogue with the congressional committee responsible for acting upon any border security recommendations you provide,” Sen. Schumer wrote in a letter inviting the governor to appear. Matthew Benson, a spokesman for Gov. Brewer said she is not likely to attend “a publicity stunt.” “It doesn’t appear that this would be the most productive hearing for Governor Brewer to attend,” he said. Mr. Benson continued by saying the governor felt the hearing seems more about scoring political points than acting to help the border. ***** House Committee Backs Bill for Israeli Investors Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that the House Judiciary Committee approved legislation that would add Israel to the list of countries eligible for non-immigrant investor visas in the United States. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.) would grant Israelis the ability to acquire the E-2 visa if similarly situated U.S. nationals are eligible for non-immigrant visas in Israel. In a statement, Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) thanked Berman for what he said was a “common-sense bill.” ***** | |
