Texas Gov.
Rick Perry (R) said he doesn't think an immigration law like Arizona's would be the "right direction" for his own state.

Like many people, I have been following the Obama administration's preparation for the renewed debate on immigration reform in Congress, a debate that largely concerns Mexicans living in the U.S.
So when I read the tragic news about the murder of American consulate workers in Ciudad Juarez, there was an added resonance.
