An annual border governor’s conference will be hosted in Santa Fe, not Arizona, Gov. Richardson has announced. Originally the meeting was to be held in Arizona, but it was canceled after Mexican governors said they would boycott because of Arizona’s new immigration law.
According to the Associated Press, Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said the meeting would be held in late September.
The meeting may be missing at least one governor, though. Texas governor Rick Perry said he would not attend the meeting if it were moved out of Arizona.
The annual meeting rotates between border states in the United States and Mexico. Last year’s meeting was held in Monterrey, Mexico.
According to the Political Insider blog at the Arizona Republic, Gov. Bill Richardson’s office acknowledged that there might not be full participation. Richardson’s office wrote in an e-mial “obviously, all border governors are welcome and encouraged to attend, although the governors of Arizona and Texas have said they are not interested in joining a dialogue with their border colleagues.”
