From Eric Dondero:

Texas Governor Rick Perry unequivocally stated his support for Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer in their fight against the Feds over illegal immigration. Perry has decided to pull out of a border states conference with governors from 6 Mexican states. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger have said they will attend. Indeed, Richardson will host the conference, which was originally set for Phoenix, until the 6 Mexican governors threatened a boycott.

Texas Tea Party supporters have been urging Perry to take a more definitive stance in favor of Arizona.

Appearing on Fox News, Perry was asked by Neal Cavuto if he'd be attending. He said without flinching, "I won't be there."

He further stated:

"I talked to Jan [Brewer] early on and I said, ‘Listen, we’re not going to be coming to the meeting. Regardless of what anybody else is saying … we’re going to support you."
