It's about time she grew some backbone!

The moves come as Gov. Janet Napolitano said Tuesday she will refuse to meet with a group of senators from Mexico who are traveling to Arizona to investigate the effects of Proposition 200.

Those senators, who already have appointments with Attorney General Terry Goddard and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, are trying to analyze the law, see its effects on Mexican nationals - and prevent other states from following suit. They also plan to meet with Mexican diplomats and migrants.

Napolitano said during her weekly media briefing she won't sit down with them. Asked why, she responded curtly, "because I don't want to."

Pushed further, the governor said she would be willing to talk with them - but only about what more Mexico and Arizona can do to stop people from coming to the United States illegally.

"But Proposition 200 is the law," she said. "It's been enacted by the people of our state, it's being enforced in Arizona and I think that's a matter of Arizona voter sovereignty, quite frankly."

This is a smokescreen to give people the illussion that they are actually doing anything about illegal immigration, and does not even come close to addressing the problem; these are CYA measures only.

"The legislation on private prisons, HB 2709, is being pushed by lawmakers who said it will cost less for the state to house Mexicans in their own country than in Arizona."

Wait a minute. These are Mexican nationals, in the US illegally, who commit OTHER crimes WHILE in the US ILLEGALLY, we want to build prisons IN Mexico, to house THEIR Mexican criminals when we take them back to their OWN country, and WE have to pay for housing them?????

Does anybody else see a problem here?

Don't be fooled. Janet is an ambitious girl, and she wants Johnny's Senate seat someday. So she isn't gonna do anything at all to screw that up, like a certain governor of California who didn't see the train coming.

She would hand over Arizona to Fox tomorrow if she thought she could. She's just cagier than that.

"...because I don't want to." and "...that's a matter of Arizona voter sovereignty, quite frankly."

Well hello, Janet. Is this an epihpany? Or are you running for reelection?
