TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Governor Brewer's message was clear: if you're here illegally, go back home. And, her answer is the same if you're part of a mixed-status family; in other words, if part of your family is undocumented and the other part is here legally.

The governor is insistent that illegal immigrants must leave Arizona: "It is illegal to trespass…It won't tear families apart…They can take their children back with them," she said in a one-on- one interview Wednesday in Tucson.

That's how the governor reacted after she first heard from KGUN9 that the Sunnyside Unified School District plans to sue her over SB1070.

One of the district's contentions is law enforcement can split apart mixed-status families .

The new law was also the centerpiece of discussion between President Obama and Gov. Brewer last week.

At the time, the president vowed a visit to Arizona from White House staffers by next Thursday. But now, the governor told us that's not happening as quickly as promised. While she tells us staffers contacted her office, there is no official plan to visit Arizona.

"Has the president taken a half step back now that he says they're not coming in two weeks?" KGUN9 asked.

"I think we'll wait and see what kind of information we get by next Thursday," the governor responded.

Previously, the Commander-in-Chief told the governor the majority of 1,200 National Guard troops and $500 million would head Arizona's way. But now, the governor's not too sure what the future holds.

Some ranchers at the center of the border security debate told us a minimum of 5,000 troops are needed.

The governor agrees that more manpower is needed, but remains uncertain if the "man in charge," President Obama, will comply with her requests.

She needs to point out that the family of Mr. Krentz was split apart by death at the hands of an illegal.

There are laws against child abandonment. In less than a minute a found this:

Abandonment

Approximately 17 States and the District of Columbia include abandonment in their definition of abuse or neglect, generally as a type of neglect.17 Approximately 18 States, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands provide definitions for abandonment that are separate from the definition of neglect.18 In general, it is considered abandonment of the child when the parent's identity or whereabouts are unknown, the child has been left by the parent in circumstances in which the child suffers serious harm, or the parent has failed to maintain contact with the child or to provide reasonable support for a specified period of time.

So anyone who is claiming the law separates families is actually advocating parents abandon their children.

"It is illegal to trespass…It won't tear families apart…They can take their children back with them,"

I get tired of illegal advocates saying deportation will split families up. If they really love those anchor babies, the should take the kids back with them.

The HONORABLE Gov. Brewer knows that legal status immigrants often aid and provide documents for their illegal family and friends. They give shelter , food, find jobs, enroll kids in school for their non-legal members.
Something must be done to stop the occupation of the U.S. by illegal aliens. Brewer is on the right track.
Unfortunately, until other states, like TEXAS, wake up, the illegals will just relocate to a better climate.

And let's not forget the large number of illegal men who are working to send money back to their wife and kiddies in their home countries. It's far more common than open borders advocates would like us to believe.

If illegals with anchor kids were allowed to stay, that would be most all of them.
The majority are living with their illegal alien spouse/girlfriend and birthright citizenship anchor babies. Deport them all!

What I suspect is that those "legals" that are leaving Arizona are really "illegal" and they damn well know their identification is stolen or forged.

I heard them say on an Oregon radio station the other day that they have figured out that 50% of the Hispanics in the state are illegal. If that is true than I bet about 90% of the Hispanics in Arizona re illegal.

Exactly, because there is no way America "legally" allowed the ungodly number of illegal immigrants from Mexico in.
