PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer said she was stunned and angered to learn during an Ecuadorean television interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Obama Administration had decided to sue Arizona over its recently passed anti-illegal immigration law, SB1070.
Video of the interview can be seen at Governor Brewer’s Arizona Border Security Information website: www.azgovernor.gov/AZBorderSecurity.asp Secretary Clinton announced during the interview on June 8th that President Obama has directed the U.S. Justice Department to “bring a lawsuit against the Arizona law.”
“This is no way to treat the people of Arizona,” said Governor Brewer. “To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the Secretary of State is just outrageous. If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation.”
Governor Brewer said, “I just visited with the President in the Oval Office about our differences over immigration policy, and the one firm understanding we had was that within two weeks he would provide details of his commitment to deploy National Guard troops to the border. While I am grateful that communications have taken place about a possible visit by Administration staff before the end of the month, there is not yet a confirmed date. More importantly, no information about additional troop and border security enhancements has been provided by the Obama Administration to the citizens of Arizona.”
Governor Brewer recently announced the creation of a legal defense fund for private contributions in defense of Arizona’s illegal immigration enforcement measures – www.keepazsafe.com.
Over $22,000 in contributions have been made to the border legal defense fund since its announcement yesterday evening. Over $26,000 had previously been sent unsolicited to the Governor for legal defense of Arizona, for an approximate total of $48,000 in the fund.
The child-king will be very angry after he sees what happens in November. We’d better be ready for chaos such as we have never seen in our lifetimes.
Obama knows he can wear the State out in court,
afterall he can print money and send a super army of bottom feeding lawyer scum at AZ forever
SOME men in the GOP are useless, but certainly not all.
But the women rock. :)
This is Obama’s follow-up to her request for Gov’t assistance? Thanks, Barack! /sarcasm
Out of fairness Obama ought to name his coming amnesty bill for Dubya. Dubya’s steadfast refusal to honor his oath of office by putting the interests of foreign nationals ahead of the American citizens who elected him shouldn’t go unrewarded.
Illegals before citizens.
This will make for a greater "crisis" platform to work from politically.
We need to survive until '12 and then begin freedom reconstruction.
Chris Christie is the exception that proves the rule.
oh please.. At least Bush loves this country!!
This ought to be fun. The whiney scrawny coke head bitch wants to sue a state for duplicating a federal law.
Bump that.
Remember his civilian national security force?
That's interesting because the same EXACT thing can be said about Islam and in fact is stated in the KORAN as such. Hmmmmm. Connection?
No argument there. I can still see him in that border patrol dune buggy, then getting back to DC just in time to call the minutemen “vigilantes”, and deliver speaches in spanish.
Excuse me, but how exactly are we going to do that with GOP under attack from -- supposedly -- our own ranks?
Better yet, in keeping with BHO’s religion, it’s okay to lie to infidels.
POSPOTUS
Just wait. One tiny little mis-step and she will be termed a RINO also by the self-righteous pure conservatives.
Carter and Reagan come to mind. Or is that the exception that proves the rule?
watch Obama’s ratings PLUMMET tomorrow! 96% of American’s SUPPORT AZ Immigration!!
