Arizona Governor: Obama ‘Doesn’t Think We’re Part Of The Country Anymore’ | Arizona governor Jan Brewer lashed out at the Obama administration for pulling back “on a program known as 287(g), which allows the feds to deputize local officials to make immigration-based arrests” following the Supreme Court’s decision invalidating substantial sections of SB 1070. “Guess what he’s telling us is Arizona, ‘you’re on your own. Take it or leave it. You know?” she said during an interview with CNN’s John King. “I guess he doesn’t think we’re part of the country anymore.” Watch it:
Brewer is cheering the the Court’s decision, arguing that the justices preserved the “heart” of the law which “lets police check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws if ‘reasonable suspicion’ exists that the person is in the United States illegally.”
