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.

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:

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!!

i'm not sure if you are directing the ''cheap shots" comment at me or not, but if you are, those words i used in my post are straight from Glenn Becks mouth..

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.

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.
