I'm surprised no one has posted anything on this yet.
I think Jan Brewer is simply being controlled by the extreme right.... Have any of you guys ever seen Brewer interview? I sow a special on FOX a while back, with Greta Vansusteren, and even Greta appeared to tune out after a few of Brewers comments.
Why would anyone support someone like this? Brewer makes Palin look like a rocket scientist.

Illegal Immigration from Mexico Hits Lowest Level in Decade
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124830603836573915.html
By MIRIAM JORDAN
The flow of immigrants from Mexico to the U.S. declined to the lowest level in a decade during the past year, a sign that the recession is deterring economic migrants from heading north in search of jobs.
However, there is no evidence of an increase between March 2008 and March 2009 in the number of Mexicans returning home from the U.S., according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center, an independent research group in Washington.
The slowing of Mexican immigration to the U.S. is part of a broader trend, as migration flows around the world have also ebbed due to the global economic slowdown.
While the downturn has sharply curtailed employment of Latino immigrants, the analysis "finds no support for the hypothesis" that it is compelling Mexicans to return home, the report says.
The number of illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. was at one point estimated to be at least 12 million, and it appears to have shrunk recently. Pew Hispanic estimates that the Mexican immigrant population in the U.S. slipped to 11.5 million from 11.6 million between March 2008 and March 2009.
The decline in the number of illegal immigrants comes as the Obama administration prepares to push for a legislative overhaul of U.S. immigration policy. Opponents of retooling immigration laws believe undocumented residents are a drain on the nation's financial resources and compete with Americans for jobs.
The influx of Mexicans plunged to 175,000 in the 12-month period ending in March from a peak of 653,000 in 2005, based on analysis of Census data by Pew Hispanic. The number of entries has been decreasing steadily since mid-decade, according to the report.
This finding is supported by data from the U.S. Border Patrol showing the number of Mexicans caught trying to sneak into the U.S. has decreased. In 2008, border patrol agents apprehended 662,000 Mexicans, down from a 2004 peak of 1.1 million.
At the same time, stepped up border enforcement, coupled with the high cost charged by guides to ferry migrants through the desert into the U.S. Southwest, encourage illegal immigrants already here to remain even it gets tougher to earn a living.
Many of those here illegally "have spent a lot of money and taken a lot of risks to get into the U.S.," said Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer at Pew Hispanic who conducted the analysis.
What's more, the Mexican economy is faring worse than that of the U.S. "It appears those people are staying here and just waiting for times to get better," Mr. Passel said.
About two-thirds of all Latin American immigrants to the U.S. are of Mexican origin. About one in 10 Mexicans currently lives in the U.S., according to the report.
Annual immigration to the U.S. from its neighbor has risen and fallen several times during the past decade. For example, immigration dropped by one-third following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. For the three-year period from March 2003 to March 2006, the annual influx of Mexicans averaged 550,000. It then fell nearly 40% to an annual average of 350,000 for March 2006-March 2008 before the even steeper decline recorded for the most recent year.
we ignore the facts when they do not justify or back our position...eh???

Yeah- What a f#@!ing joke! I can't believe people are still donating/voting for her.....
Where is the respect? Where is the honor in that? Why would you still vote for someone like this, really? It's not like this is the first time she has sounded like an idiot...... I guess she is just a tool who is being controlled by the extreme right.
I don't know what that means... but I'm LMAO

Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
“We have ... did what was right for Arizona. I will tell you that we have really did the best that anyone could do.”, Jan Brewer during Gubernatorial Debate.
I understand people make mistakes, but Brewer is consistent on her mistakes and now she doesn't even want to debate- Is that the best mind for AZ?
