Title: Arizona Sues Obama Administraion, Federal Government
Post by: Chris_ on February 12, 2011, 01:50:43 PM
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced Thursday that her state will file a countersuit against the federal government, claiming Washington has failed to enforce immigration law along the southern border.

The governor said the federal government hasn't secured the state's border with Mexico and has stuck Arizona with the costs tied to illegal immigration.

"Because the federal government has failed to protect the citizens of Arizona, I am left with no other choice," Brewer said.

I'm wondering why this is the first I've heard this news if it was released on Thursday.  Good job, media. ::)

She neglected to add that this administration actively prevented the state from protecting their own borders.

We have spent 1.6 million defending ourselves from Obama/Holder so far. Voluntary donations to the defense fund have reached 3.7 million to date.

I'm not suggesting anything here but.....

That's awesome. Good for Jan Brewer and AZ. At least some people are standing up to the communist community organizer.

More states need to sue the Federal Government for failing to protect it's citizens from the foreign invasion that is costing billions of $$ from the state's coffers.

I totally agree. I wish more states would stand up to this community organizer. This man imposter in the White Mosque is absolutely killing and making a mockery of this Country. More and more everyday.

It frustrates me to no end that here in CAlifornia, we are bleeding billions of $$ out of our rectum because we are mandated by the Feds to support the illegals that are pouring into this state because the Feds won't do their job by keeping them out.  Now we are being told by our new governor that we can expect to pay more in taxes and get less, and obozo'a new budget dramatically reduces the amount of Federal money the state gets to incarcerate illegal aliens.  It is as if they are a homeowner's association and their dog came over and shit on my lawn, and now they are fining me for not picking up the shit they left on my lawn. 

What would happen if a state refused to obey the Federal mandate to profide education and medical care for illegal aliens?  Would the Feds sue the state?  If so, aren't they opening themselves to a countersuit as Arizona is doing?  The Feds created this mess thru their negligence or ambivilence to the illegal alien problem and expect the states to pay for their failure to do their jobs.
