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.
Please provide a link for your Michael Steele quote.
I can’t wait for this bunch of communists to be tried for treason and hung from a very high tree. One at a time.
Mike Pence, Tom Coburn, Joe Wilson, Eric Cantor.
Our men are by no means useless.
I ordered several Arizona State Flag decals and have them on my vehicles and even gave some to friends. People are only now beginning to recognize them.
I would, but then I'd have to look for the USB port in my body...
I don’t know what a USB port is, but it’s clear you making up a quote for Michael Steele, something he did NOT say.
Ah, nothing changes here...still Bush bashing and the poor guy has been out of office for a year and a half....I miss him and God bless him....
WHO is that?
But it's so easy to do. Steele is an idiot, and parodying him is a cinch. He did SO WELL in New York's 23rd Congressional district special election, btw...
I’m sure he does. He also loved the citizens of Mexico who come here illegally. To the point of enabling them to break the law at will.
With what's going on, and the vile traitor in the WH now, it's unhealthy to still be filled with anger at the man of character who preceded him, and is nothing like him in any way.
Hillary Clinton is as much a pig as Obama.
How anyone could vote for either one is beyond me.
Even my own Congressman, Jim Jordan is a strong, principled conservative.
There are many in the GOP who are fighting the good fight, and you have named four of them.
Hmmmm...I wonder if Hillary let this slip knowing it would get picked up, and would rile up another hornet’s nest against The One. Heaping another heaping helping of trouble on top of the camel’s back? She has to know he is in way over his head and unable to handle anything like what he’s now facing. Does she wait in the tall grass to plunder the fall of the king?
She actually thought she could trust OBAMA.... LOL< LOL< LOL<
Now the real question is will the Republicans start holding Obama accontable for his lies and inaction?
Okay, you have convinced me that you care nothing about Arizona or immigration law in particular, but just look for opportunities to further your petty anti-Michael Steele agenda. Got it!!!
(And "HI!" mystery. :)
So......I guess the National Guard won’t be going to the border as promised? This guy lies through his teeth.
