Arizona Governor Slams Obama for Claim That Border is ‘Safer Than Ever’

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer mocked the Obama administration’s assertion Saturday that the border is more secure than ever.

It’s Jay Leno comedy every other week,” Brewer said during an interview at the National Governors Association meeting here, alluding to the president’s scheduled trip this week to both Phoenix and the talk show host’s couch.

Brewer said her Yuma border is “pretty secure” but “Tucson is a nightmare.” The Yuma Sector is the only border sector with double-fencing as called for in the Secure Fence Act, with crossings having been slashed by 85% since completion. Said Brewer...

“Arizona is the gateway, and the metrics are all wrong,” she said. “We don’t even know who is coming across. We don’t know how many times they’re coming back and forth, when they’re not counting the ones that are turned back around. Everybody that you talk to has different numbers: Border Patrol … Homeland Security … the sheriffs,” she added. “It’s the drug cartels that we live with … the drop houses, the extortion, the sex-slavery industry, the gangs fighting one another.”
The governor said “the frustration level has only increased” among Arizonans since she signed Senate Bill 1070 into law in 2010.

“How many times do people have to say, ‘secure our borders,’ and be rebuffed?” she said.

Brewer said she’s been in touch with the Arizona House delegation and expects grassroots conservative activists to pressure members across the country during the August recess not to get behind a comprehensive immigration bill that includes amnesty.

“It’s not going to pass the way it came out of the Senate, and I have serious reservations if it’s going to pass in any form in the House because they’ve got the cart before the horse,” she said. “We’re not going to live through 1986 once again, where President Reagan – my hero – gave amnesty and said our borders would be secured and it didn’t take. It didn’t happen.”

Arizona has now had two worthless women as governor in a row. Brewer isn’t good enough to be governor of that fine state!

I sent a certified letter [3 or 4 pg, because I had to flesh out the argument for the State's particular constitution] detailing how she could force the issue; completely legally and lawfully — no reply at all. (Link to basic argument.)
I take this to mean that (a) she never read it, which is likely; or (b) this is just theatrics/politics.

I sent letters to 48 of the governors [NY and HI excluded], one was returned [NKA], and only four were replied to.

She sold out to Obamacare, particularly Medicaid expansion. Going to end up costing Arizona residents a bundle down the road.

Arizona Governor Slams Obama for Claim That Border is ‘Safer Than Ever’

I have little doubt that this is true. It's "safer than ever" for the illegals crossing the border.
