Arizona Gov. Signs Illegal Immigration Bill!

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer ignored Obama, the Democrats in Washington, and La Raza and other pro-illegal immigration groups and signed a law that will allow police to deal with illegal aliens. We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act, Brewer said after signing the law. But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation.

On Friday Obama called the bill misguided and instructed the Justice Department to find ways to force Arizona to back down. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to irresponsibility by others, according to the Washington Post. That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe, Obama said.
