As the Spanish-language press waits for the Department of Justice to jump into the legal battle over Arizona law SB 1070 and continues to call for comprehensive reform, Arizona Senator John McCain wants to show President Obama the border — and the state’s governor, Jan Brewer, will encounter protesters at this week’s National Governors’ Association in Boston.

The column explains why the federal government should intervene in Arizona.

The law is slated to go into effect on July 29th.
