Due to the recent passage of SB1070, all six Mexican governors set to appear at the Border City governors conference cancelled, saying they wouldn't enter a state that has laws that promote 'ethnic and racial prejudices'.
In light of this cancellatation, the Governor of Arizona, Jan Brown, cancelled the meeting.
To this, the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, said he would not attend the conference if it was moved anywhere besides Arizona.
Long story short, Perry supports SB1070, he has said that such an immigration law is not right for Texas.
Here's a link to the actual conversation found on Fox.
