Thread: Statement From Gov Brewer on SB1070 Ruling

Statement by Governor Jan Brewer on SB 1070July 28, 2010


“This fight is far from over. In fact, it is just the beginning, and at the end of what is certain to be a long legal struggle, Arizona will prevail in its right to protect our citizens. I am deeply grateful for the overwhelming support we have received from across our nation in our efforts to defend against the failures of the federal government.

“I have consulted with my legal counsel about our next steps. We will take a close look at every single element Judge Bolton removed from the law, and we will soon file an expedited appeal at the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

“For anyone willing to see it -- the crisis is as clear as is the federal government’s failure to address it.

“The judge herself noted that the stash houses where smugglers hide immigrants from Mexico before bringing them into the country's interior have become a fixture on the news in Arizona and that, ‘You can barely go a day without a location being found in Phoenix where there are numerous people being harbored.’â€

I'd be interested in what Russell Pearce, the author of this law (and whose police officer son was SHOT IN THE STOMACH BY AN ILLEGAL I was shocked to find out) has to say about this ruling!

I am sure that financial donations to the Governor's SB 1070 Legal Defense Fund would be especially appreciated at this time. Please see below for information.

Phone: (number removed by ME - sorry W)

THIS DEMONSTRATES THAT DEMOCRATS ARE NOT FOR THE RULE OF LAW IN TERMS OF ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS TO DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS. THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SAY REMOVE FROM OFFICE ALL THE DEMOCRATS. THEY ALWAYS SUPPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING AMERICANS. IN 2012 WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT WHO WILL ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS AND WHO WILL SUPPORT SB 1070 ACROSS THIS NATION. IT IS CLEAR OBAMA WILL NOT DO THAT. THEREFORE, OBAMA WILL BE HISTORY IN 2012.

An immediate positive result of Bolton's ruling will be a severe BACKLASH from the citizens of Arizona on John McCain!
