Arizona Gov. Fires Back


Posted: May 21, 2010

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer launched a double-barrage back Thursday at President Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who took the occasion of his state visit to Washington to twice criticize the law of an American state.

“I think that’s really unfortunate," Brewer told Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel. "I don’t believe he understands what the law actually says and I don’t mean that derogatory. The fact of the matter is that it prohibits racial profiling; its illegal in the state of Arizona. And racial profiling is illegal in the United States.”

Brewer added: “I’ve also heard (Calderon) say he wants a safer border. And I don’t know what the code word is in there, but for me it seems that he wants something maybe that we in America might not want.”

Brewer also addressed the admission by her gubernatorial predecessor, Napolitano, that the cabinet secretary, like Obama Atty. Gen. Eric Holder, has not actually read the....

 ...state legislation they have been so heartily deriding. (See Related Items below for numerous links on this topic.)

“For her to say she hadn’t even read the bill that I signed," Brewer said, "is just unconscionable.”

Polls have shown broad support for Arizona's legislative frustration over federal inaction in securing the border with Mexico. Now comes a new Arizona poll showing how badly the controversy has hurt Brewer's standing among Arizonans:

Not!

that the crats and our president sided with Calderon....I mean seriously. What does he do to illegal aliens in Mexico without any paperwork? He sure as heck doesn't give them food stamps and gov't subsidized housing. So for Calderon to complain about the USA cracking down on illegal immigration is about as hypocritical as it gets and for our president and the crats to stand with Calderon just shows how divided our country is.

It is just sad really and I cannot believe how crazy and out of control things have gotten.

What also kills me is that when looking at the federal laws on immigration and the AZ law....the AZ law is more strict as far as guidelines on when you can question someone for papers. The federal law doesn't have any stipulation on when you can ask. So, in fact, the AZ law is much nicer to illegals than the federal law is.

Maybe the crats and our president ought to actually read the AZ bill and go over the federal law and realize that their rantings against the AZ bill is ridiculous.

They dont read the bills they pass, the ones they protest. - These people are an embarrassment.nm

They probably have read the law, know very well that it prohibits racial profiling, but just plain do not care. They certainly do not care about the will of the people they are supposed to be representing. They want what they want, are repeating lies and half truths, and are pandering for amnesty for illegal aliens. People should join NumbersUSA.com that provides free Faxes to so-called elected ''representatives' and demand that they support the already-existing federal laws and secure our border immediately.
