I am State Senator Russell Pearce, the author of SB1070, which was signed by Governor Jan Brewer. Fear mongering and misinformation is the tool of the Left against this common sense legislation.

3 million illegal immigrants in less than a year. Russell K. He disagrees with the compact's failure to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.

Russell K. He was elected President of the Arizona Senate when the Senate began its current term in January 2011 but then suffered a dramatic reversal of fortune when he was ousted in a November 2011 recall election the first legislator in Arizona history to be so removed. Prior to his election to the Arizona Senate in 2008 Pearce served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2001-2009 and worked in law enforcement for over 20 years.
