Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said the Obama administration narrative is wrong about the Arizona law and its policies on immigration.
“We are protecting civil rights and and racial profiling is not tolerated,” she said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington D.C. on Saturday.
Her speech comes on the heels of the June Supreme Court decision which upheld the controversial part of the law (SB 1070), which would require police to verify the citizenship status of people who are already stopped, arrested or detained. But the court eliminated the part of the law which maintains that the police can detain someone solely on the suspicion of illegality.
Two years ago, Obama called the law into legal question because he said that immigration policy could only be enforced from the federal government, according to the constitution.
In a written response to the Supreme Court decision he said, ”I remain concerned about the practical impact of the remaining provision of the Arizona law that requires local law enforcement officials to check the immigration status of anyone they even suspect to be here illegally.”
But for Brewer, the real immigration problem is Obama’s refusal to put an adequate plan in place to secure the border.
She says her definition of right is looking illegal immigrants in the eye and saying, ‘you do not deserve favoritism’ and “[What is] right is looking President Obama in the eye, as I did, and saying, ‘secure our border,’” she said.
She called for Americans to refuse to forget about the Fast and Furious gun smuggling scandal cover-up and the fact that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is being protected by the United States Justice Department even though he was held in criminal and civil contempt of Congress.
Brewer is not intimidated by Obama’s high office and his ability to make executive orders in order to manipulate congress.
She is not backing down.

Dear Ragina,
Gov. Jan Brewer is a true USA HERO and does not apologize for AMERICA! She does not racially profile, and she used to be an x-ray tech, but now all of those jobs are being taken by illegal x-ray techs from bad countries such as the Iraq, Mexico and Guatemala.
One thing you never hear is that picking lettuce and peaches is actually FUN! But, the illegal immigrants and the COMMUNIST LIBERALS pretend it is hard work to discourage real USA HERO workers from applying for the jobs.
Romney never picked lettuce or peaches, but he knows farm owners whose workers did, and they all said it was really fun work. Why is Obama denying our USA HERO workers the right to have FUN? It’s one of the guarantees in the USA CONSTITUTION.
You can tell that Jan Brewer is a very SERIOUS POLITICIAN because she doesn’t care about her skin or makeup. She just cares about helping real AMERICANS not the ones that used to live here before true USA PATRIOTS like Daniel Boone made it safe for us.
My Granpa Ari lives in Phoenix and he gets pulled over all of the time, but not for racial profiling which does not exist, but because his toupee’ (he calls it a hairpiece) doesn’t fit very good and sometimes it covers his eyes and he runs into things. The last time this happened, he ran over Mrs. Levy’s cat Schotzy, and then drove into the side of the Safeway and destroyed the produce section (especially the illegal lettuce), and was senteced to 11 days of home incarceration.
So just be a good driver, and follow the USA DRIVER laws and you won’t get pulled over!!! If my granpa Ari has problems with his hairpiece, you can bet that illegal Mexicans have problems with those big sombrero hats that they wear! So maybe, we should make some laws about hats too. Jan Brewer never wears a hat, and the sun-damage on her face proves she is serious about getting outside and picking her own lettuce (thank you very much), so we should all quit compaining, and only eat patriotic salads picked by REAL AMERICANS!!!

Tiffany, Arizonans will most likely tell you that Jan Brewer’s wrinkles do not come from being out in the sun picking lettuce. They come from her well-known tendancy to hit the bottle a little too often and a little too much. She invoked legislative immunity when involved in an accident and refused to take a dui test under the same immunity law. That’s the only way she avoided arrest.
She also somehow managed to escape prosecution for defrauding Social Security out of $75,000, which is probably due to the fact she is a governor. The details behind the $75,000 is from her son’s account, who currently resides in a state mental institution. He was placed there by the court after committing rape and kidnapping, but he was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. The court had directed Brewer, as representative payee, to turn the money over to the state hospital. While the feds declined to prosecute, expectations are that repayment will be sought.
She is hardly an American hero, or any other kind of hero for that matter. The above examples are just a couple of the more egregious capers she’s committed. There’s not much need to list more… like the recent all expense paid vacation to Paris she took on the taxpayer’s dime. This trip was supposed to be meeting with various French companies to try to coax them to move to Arizona.

Bottom line, she fights to keep Arizonans safe, keep jobs for Americans which makes her a hero in many Americans minds!
Tiffany, thanks for the story regarding your grandfather, best laugh I’ve had in quite awhile as the illegal alien Mexicans have kept our job market very depressed as well as having taken up all affordable housing!
While it does appear Gov. Brewer may have a drinking problem, the trip to Europe was for the economy of Arizona, therefore, yes on the taxpayer.
