HILLARY ANGERS ARIZONA GOV.

Spread The Love

Once again, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is fighting mad.  And this time, the target of her aggressions is none other than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In a June 8th interview in Ecuador that began circulating the Internet last Thursday, Secretary Clinton said President Obama thinks it is the responsibility of the federal government to determine immigration policy, not states or local jurisdictions, and that the Justice Department “will be bringing a lawsuit against the act.” Although this is technically not Secretary Clinton’s area of responsibility to be discussing, particularly on foreign soil, her words were actually pretty accurate. The Justice Department has indeed been looking at the Arizona law for weeks over possible civil rights violations, with a lean toward a possible court challenge.

But Gov. Brewer, a Republican, said in a statement that “this is no way to treat the people of Arizona.”

“To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the Secretary of State is just outrageous,” she said. “If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation.”

Gov. Brewer’s spokesman Paul Senseman said the governor was “outraged” and that Clinton’s comments make it appear that the Justice Department has decided to file suit. “But she’s confident that in the end, the state of Arizona, the citizens, will prevail,” he said.
