PHOENIX -- A Wyoming man has given more than $1.5 million to help defend Arizona's controversial immigration enforcement measure in court, Gov. Jan Brewer's office said Thursday.
The contribution from Timothy Mellon of Saratoga is the largest to Brewer's defense fund, which has amassed more than $3.6 million from 41,000 donors nationwide. Mellon could not immediately be reached for comment.
The latest legal bills released Thursday show Brewer's office has spent more than $440,000 for the first two months of defending the law.
The bills, obtained through a public records request by The Associated Press, are for work performed through June by Phoenix law firm Snell & Wilmer. They do not cover July hearings in federal court before a judge Susan Bolton temporarily blocked enforcement of the law's most controversial provisions.
Brewer has appealed Bolton's order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Her office is defending the state against seven lawsuits challenging Arizona's law, including cases filed by the U.S. Justice of Department, civil rights groups and two police officers.
Bolton has dismissed two of the cases.
"The fees incurred have been, and will continue to be, sizeable," Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman said, noting there have been more than 900 legal filings totaling more than 12,000 pages.
Arizona's law would generally require officers enforcing other measures to check the immigration status of people they suspect are illegal immigrants.

no ID?
straight to jail.
i can't get past how so called conservatives are supporting this. giving government more power goes against everything they claim to stand for.
Wrong Commy, more power to the states.
People suffering from hunger, disease, lack of clean water and shelter all over the world.......yet unthinkable sums of money are just dumped into fucking campaigns/political causes.....
Mind bottling.
Godfather.
The immigrants?

I agree. I think it really says a lot about our values. Sad. :( We have SO much power and SO many resources to help people rise above hunger, disease, etc. and yet we choose to spend our money keeping people down so we can horde what we have. The money this guy spent could have saved the lives of 15,000,000 (15 million) children in the developing world, but instead it will possibly help remove a portion of the 283,000 undocumented immigrants in Arizona. If we do the math, that means the possible removal of ONE immigrant is worth the lives of 53 children. And we think we're a nation of great values. :roll:

You would like to think that is what he meant.....
maybe he's your ''last bastion of hope".
you know, to restore your honor and all.
I don't need anybody to restore my honor I'm just happy to hear that there are people that still have honor
in this country,it's sad to me to hear or read about people that enjoy the freedom that AMERICANS have and
then take cheep shots at our country,,,sad sad sad :yawn:
Godfather.
nope.....that's not what I ment at all and to be honest with ya unless these immigrants are working to be or are
LEGAL Americans I couldn't care less what they have to say...it means nothing to me.
hope that clears up any misunderstandings
Godfather.
What does that mean? :?
I know we are all entitled to our own opinion and we all share different views, but your comment makes me sick- not because of political positions, but because of a personal issue, because you claim to be a Christian - That sickens me- I'm sure Jesus is proud of this guy too.
I understand the need to protect our country and to protect its citizens, but this is no solution-
I feel sick!!
Cheap vaccination?

Beck and the teabaggers current fake area of expertise this week, is all about restoring honor and the last bastion of hope.
so they are the ones taking cheap shots at the Country (to use your words), not me.
Godfather.
would you like a airline barf bag ? and why do you think you know who Jesus is or is not proud of ? this is not the first time you have questioned my faith or used it to attack me or my comments, are you special in some way or with out sin ? chances are we will never meet but I think if we did we might understand each other a little better, I really do care about people all people and I also care deeply about our country and it sickins me to hear people from another country tell Americans what they demand from us or we owe them this or that.
Godfather.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
all the crap going, I am born and raised in So Cal so I see,watch and listen to all the Mexican people protesting
and marching and telling anybody who will listen the they will take California from the Americans that live here and their racism towards whites and blacks is crazy as well, there a lot of people that are just pissed of and tired of hearing and seeing it.
Godfather.
if only you and all the other sheep could learn to hate the corrupt government that set this system up to allow them to freely walk into this country and receive benefits instead of the people trying to make a better life for their families because of a corrupt government.

Not a problem......No problem at all.
Of course you shouldn't support drug dealers! but you should tell the truth to the authorities about your illegal activities and pay for your crimes
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
nope. but you should be less hypocritical of others.
