In an interview with Fox News, Governor Brewer has apparently decided that, as an act of revenge for Arizona’s attempt at enforcing immigration laws, President Obama and the White House have decided to release dangerous immigrants—in keeping with sequester-related budget cuts.
Conspiracies!
From Talking Points Memo:
Brewer suggested on Fox News Friday that the move, which officials from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency say was a matter of simple budget math, was retaliation for the state’s law cracking down on undocumented immigrants, which has been a major flashpoint in the national immigration debate.
“Well, you know, I personally believe it could be payback,” Brewer said. “It could be to punish Arizona, to make them squirm. They’re pushing back on what we’re pushing on because we want our border secure and we’re strong about it.”
Asked whether Washington was “picking on you,” she replied: “I think it’s pretty obvious that they’re doing everything in their power.”
Both the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano have denied any involvement in the decision to release the detainees, which they say was made by ICE independently in response to the sequester. Napolitano explicitly warned on Thursday, however, that the 5 percent cut to DHS’s budget that went into effect Friday will have an unavoidable impact on immigration enforcement, including the department’s ability to maintain its usual 34,000 detainee capacity.
So just a day after we told you could take your conspiracy caps off, Governor Jan has tied hers on tight. Sounds about right to me.

Pretty good, Feds let them loose and no one wants to be responsable for them, I hope your family are safe tonight, to be so biased as you are
TRUE, why else would BO release them here, in Pinal County? Why not just drive them back to Mexico, that would cost a lot less than their beds cost for one night. Why doesn’t BIG SIS Janet, just stop buying Bullets, she already has 5 rounds for each and every America Citizen, Children included.
If this “Sequester” is Sooooooooooo BAD, how come we EVER got along 2 years ago with a budget that was about $100 BILLION…”LESS”… than now, after the “Sequester” ????
Obama…IMPEACHMENT….. it’s what All, “Baby-Boomer” Democrat Presidents get and deserve.
I believe Gov. Brewer is rather presumptious in flattering herself to think that President Obama even thought of her in the whole picture. A bit of overestimating her importance.
Governor Brewer is overestimating her importance thinking she’s even in the picture with President Obama.
I guess there is no money for a bus to the border?
Brewer, is more then likely upset over the profits in housing illegal aliens in private run prisons are on the decline.
(shaking my index finger wildly at our governor….)
None of her sentence make sense.
She can’t put a coherent paragraph together.
She’s dumber than dog poo.
Does she even have a high school diploma?
All that being said: she’s perfect for AZ.
Hussein is a spiteful little man – no doubt Brewer is correct and I don’t agree with her on many issues but this hit the nail on the head — Hussein administration acted irresponsibly when releasing the immigrants is the bottom line!
In response to Phillip, no she doesn’t have a high school diploma. She has a GED She went on to get certification to be an x-ray tech at Glendale Community College before entering politics. She exemplifies the tea baggers’ Best and the Brightest.
OMG! Brewer just blows my mind! Flabergasted! Oye’! Calgon take me away…
Yeah, you liberals have done a wonderful job running Tucson and Pima County. You can’t pour piss out of a boot with directions on the heel.
More proof that the lunatics are running the asylum in Arizona.
Tick, tock, her time is almost up. Boney Finger is so non-relevant. I can’t wait to see her slide her boney buttocks into her bottle of Jack Daniels and disappear.
Jan should have her staff read the news before she reacts to it.
A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, an arm of the Department of Homeland Security, said the detainees selected for release were “noncriminals and other low-risk offenders who do not have serious criminal histories.”
Amazing the liberal idiots just attack Jan and Ignore the issue…I hope the crimes committed by these people you support, is against Your families!!..Then lets see what tune you sing then!!
