Jan Brewer: Most Illegal Immigrants Are Smuggling Drugs
ARIZONANS STUCK WITH BREWER
I watched Jan Brewer, currently Governor of Arizona, on a local Phoenix, Arizona television
station, NBC affiliate KPNX 12. To the world, please remember that she does not speak
for all Arizonans. Her rhetoric panders to a larger, national audience, not a platform on which she ran and was elected to.
I wondered how such a person could be the Governor of my State. Indeed, she is not
elected as Governor but as the Secretary of State that inherited the seat when Janet
Napolitano accepted the Homeland Security position. We can't impeach an unelected
Governor and cannot impeach Brewer for any possible crimes committed in an elected office she no which she longer serves. I think, despite her tax increases whose parity I question,
signing SB 1070 was unconstitutional insofar as it enacted the legislation that is criminal
when it takes effect and American citizens' rights are violated, about a month from now. I look
for the two events to be simultaneous if the DOJ lawsuit doesn't stop it first.
In the meantime, she is a folk hero to a segment of populace that always blames
the nearest target for their own shortcomings. It is shameful that twenty States have
considered enacting similar measures. Brewer fans the flames of hysteria with hyperbole
about imagined threats.
Arizonans bear the blame for electing her to a minor office with potential and, to our chagrin,
we are stuck with her until the inauguration day following the next (2010) elections.
