Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Sues the Federal Government Over Immigration Policy

Remember Arizona passed a law that would let the state, through the Tenth Amendment, enforce their borders. Oh, but the Obama administration wanted nothing to do with that as Obama panders to the next large minority blog of voters--Hispanics. So Obama waged a war with the state of Arizona.

Now, Governor Jan Brewer has had enough of Obama's lackadaisical attitude over illegal immigration. She filed a law suit against the federal government in court last week over the federal government's inability to stop illegal immigration.

Gov. Jan Brewer sued the federal government Thursday for failing to control Arizona's border with Mexico and enforce immigration laws, and for sticking the state with huge costs associated with jailing illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

The lawsuit claims the federal government has failed to protect Arizona from an "invasion" of illegal immigrants. It seeks increased reimbursements and extra safeguards, such as additional border fences.

Brewer's court filing serves as a countersuit in the federal government's legal challenge to Arizona's new enforcement immigration law. The U.S. Justice Department is seeking to invalidate the law.

"Because the federal government has failed to protect the citizens of Arizona, I am left with no other choice," Brewer said as sign-carrying protesters yelled chants at her and at other champions of the immigration law.
