Governor Brewer Caves? Press Conference set for 4:30

Governor Brewer Grilled At Latino Event

http://www.kpho.com/news/23240567/detail.html

PHOENIX -- Gov. Jan Brewer could not have appeared before a more determined crowd Thursday night, in its opposition to the new immigration enforcement bill.

“Governor, we ask, no we respectfully demand that you veto senate bill 1070,” said Erica Gonzalez-Melendez from the podium. She is the Chairwoman of the Board for Chicanos Por La Causa, a very powerful Latino community organization.

Before the governor could even get into the hall for the CPLC anniversary dinner, she faced a gauntlet of protesters outside the Sheraton in downtown Phoenix.

But the ballroom may have offered even less comfort.

“What sits before you on your desk is the most hateful legislation directed at Latinos in the recent history of our state. Governor, tonight we want to remind you that we vote too,” said Gonzalez-Melendez.

To her credit, Brewer followed those pointed words with her prepared speech, but offered little to tip her hand.

“While I’m not prepared to announce a decision on Senate Bill 1070 this evening, I can tell you what I decide will be based on doing what’s right for Arizona,” said Brewer.

As she walked out, the governor refused to answer questions, but she could hear the crowd inside still chanting, “Veto, Veto!”

If she does not veto it, it becomes law tomorrow I think.

The talking heads on MSNBC think she will sign the bill.

When are these assholes going to stop playing the "all Latinos" card?  First off, Latino isn't even a RACE.  Second, it's not aimed against one "race" or ethnicity specifically.  It's aimed against ILLEGAL immigrants.

WTF is so difficult to understand about that?

Obama came out condemning it. Says it should be done through overhaul of the Federal System. Haven't these pricks had enough time to do something with the Federal System? And now, Schumer, Dodd and these other fools, with Americans showing how fed up they are with Illegals, want to work on legislation to give them a free pass. What useless crap these people are, and the sheep will re-elect them.

They've been "overhauling" the federal system for 45 years.  In that time we've gone from roughly 1 million illegals to over 20 million.

Enough.

Today I am especially proud and happy to be a resident of Arizona.  Living in Sierra Vista, unable to hike in the Huachucas due to illegals traipsing through them, not to mention living about two and a half miles from a drug trafficking route, where the homeowners have been threatened with death if they call the Border Patrol, having articles in the local paper on a recurring basis about the volunteer cleanup crews to police all the illegals' junk, UGH, I am sick of them and really sick of the assholes in DC like Obama and Napolitano who want to blame US because of their failure of leadership.

I'm not so ready to blame Obama and Napolitano. The illegal alien situation goes further back than them. Prior to Reagan, it was bad, but when Reagan granted amnesty to some SIX MILLION illegal aliens, it established a bad precedent. Then, we have all of the employers that specifically target the illegal aliens as a primary group to hire because they can pay them less than real Americans. I remember telling a GOP solicitor that I would no longer support the GOP with my funds because Bush was also pretty lame on the illegal aliens situation. Because of many people like me, the GOP paid attention, but still didn't do a whole hell of  lot about it.

I have lived in AZ on and off since I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca, going through the intel school, in 1979.  Hubby was also AD, for 30 years, and we've been back several times.  It never seemed so desperate and critical here until we moved back in 2003 during his last PCS.  Napolitano was, IIRC, the governor here at the time and as for Bush, McCain, et.al, I of course assign blame to them as well; however, Obama's calling our new law irresponsible really  :fuelfire:me off.  This is a complicated problem in some ways, but very simple on one level:  the federal government needs to quit screwing around with border security and do something besides pontificate, promise and puke out propaganda.  I've had it with ALL of these bozos who don't live here, don't have to deal with the crap we put up with and who think we should just shut up and let AZ become Mexizona.
Totally agree with you that Regan should never have allowed illegals amnesty back in 1986; it has set a terrible precedent.

That is what pisses me off.  We learned that amnesty didn't end the influx of illegals. If anything it increased the tide coming in. Any talk of amnesty or a "path to citizenship, should be shitcanned until the border is sealed up tight. Any illegal with any type of criminal conviction should have their ass shipped back across the border ASAP.

But-but, what about our economy.?

Fewer crimes will mean only home grown thieves will have the money to buy their IPODS, cell phones and computers.  Fewer stolen cars and there will be less need to buy another.

Fewer kids in school will impact the teachers no longer needed.

Few will want to rent from a Slum Lord and the owners of these cold water apartments will not be able to pay their taxes and loose their income.

A big lessening of crime will affect our police departments, lawyers and court judges, our prisons will need less guards or any of the above.

This will be a big hit for the farmers that grow the ingredients to make Latino foods. Just imagine what will happen to the rice and corn industry with 20,000,000 less buyers for their product.

Sweat shops employing workers as young as 14 will stand empty, flip-flops that now cost $5.00 will with Union made cost $50.00.

Hospitals will have to operate with 3/4 less patients.

Now if Pot becomes legal, there goes the economy of Mexico and 5-6 other country's.    WOW will they hate us.

 Our Churches will loose their most devoted tithing family's, Soup kitchens will shut down and our homeless shelters will not get state or federal grants because they will not have a large demand.

State workers in Health and Human services will be cut to the bone.

Can we afford to loose 4,000,000 people by average a State.?

This has been fun being a devils advocate,  :fuelfire: 

 I applaud AZ. Actually, I cannot wait to see how this turns out, I hope we can seal the border before it is too late.
