PHOENIX – Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is calling a new border security initiative an outrage.
In a campaign video posted on YouTube Friday, Brewer stood in front of what she called newly posted signs by President Obama’s administration about the Arizona desert being an active drug and human smuggling area.
“Washington says our border is as safe as it has ever been,” Brewer said. “Does this look safe to you? What is our country coming to…we need to stand up and demand action. Washington is broken, Mr. President. Do your job. Secure our borders.”
In a separate letter released the day before, Brewer told Obama she’d like specifics on National Guard deployments and other steps to be taken in Arizona before a planned Monday visit to Phoenix by Obama administration officials to discuss plans. The governor told reporters Friday she expects five officials from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security at the meeting.
