Arizona Governor Blasts Eric Holder

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer scolded Atty. Gen. Eric Holder for holding open the prospect of a lawsuit when Arizona is already facing five legal challenges over the state's new immigration law.
"I would much prefer for them not to file suit, given the fact that they could take the money and help me build a fence on my border," Brewer said in an interview with three HUMAN EVENTS editors by phone from Phoenix.
Brewer also said she has decided to bypass her state's top law enforcement official and hire private counsel to defend new immigration legislation in court because her attorney general opposes the measure.
Brewer has been in the national spotlight since her state enacted legislation authorizing law enforcement officials to question people they detain as to whether they are legal U.S. residents.
Brewer mentioned opposition to what is increasingly called "the Arizona laws" from fellow governors on border states, notably Democrat Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. Brewer said she knew Schwarzenegger didn't know what was in the bill because "he figured what he read in the paper was exactly what the bill said."

Brewer, Palin and Bachmann are leading the way, but where are the GOP men?

Too bad Gov. Brewer can’t sue the Feds for not protecting AZ’s border...

So, how many states will be joining her?
If more states did what Arizona has done, it will make it harder for the other side to keep up the lawsuit avalanche that they have planned for this brave state.

Brewer probably can’t but I wonder if some southern AZ land owners might be able to do that?

Richardson has just over six months left in his term. A likely successor is an Hispanic woman.

Susana Martinez, a conservative, law and order, anti-illegal immigration Republican!

Oil leak (open borders) with a continuous flow of sludgy mess (illegals) destroying the Gulf (America), environmentally and economically. PLUG THE DAMN HOLE, or we'll be forever cleaning up the mess.
It seems the Obama Administration views the oil spill just as they view illegal immigration. The leak goes unplugged AND the mess goes unattended.

The more I hear from this woman the more I like her.
