Actually crime is down in most areas of AZ, you can check the facts on that. Obama is no more or less a factor in illegal immigration than was previous presidents. But if you want to blame Obama, feel free, someone always does.
Blame Obama, cause he's a big part of it. After all, he did promise to fix the situation at the boarder, but then looked the other way. He's suing AZ instead of helping them. He's standing in their way, so yes we blame Obama. And everyone else who looks the other way. I don't care if it is local or federal government. Repub or dem. Those who do nothing are the ones that are, and should be blamed.

Blame whoever you want to but, we should focus more on the human and the drug smugglers first & foremost.
Passing a law that basically mimics the Federal law was a waste especially since it helped to ruin the reputation & economy of AZ.
Jan Brewer won't be getting my vote.

She is at least doing something about the problem. She had nothing to do with the economy there. She shouldn't have had to even do this, but again, she had no help. She might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but she is at least stepping up and trying something. The violence is hurting the economy, but incase you haven't noticed, it's bad everywhere.

Would you vote for any of the sheriffs in Arizona who keep saying what a crime it is to have to beg for National Guard with the number of 3,000 being the requested number and getting a whole 30? Arpaio isn't the only one of them, you know.

That group of National Guard people who were sent to Arizona wasn't even a token number and they won't be able to accomplish anything. Why not send in the returning Iraq people who are trained and experienced in fighting the kind of war the drug smugglers want to fight? I think they could make short shrift of the northern problem.

Why should she recant?
AZ isn't a safe place to be anymore?? Hmm, usually its a good thing when crime is down.... Crime is at it lowest levels in Arizona since 1983....

Default Typical Republican candidate who doesn't measure up

Brewer is a typical Republican who doesn't even come close to what president Obama represents. He stands for progression, education, intelligence, depth, diplomacy, inclusion, equal rights, due process, equal protection, respectful diplomacy. He solves problems by meeting them head on, listening to the perspectives of all sides and devising a solution that is supported by those with the most knowledge. He's not about deception, sidestepping, or spinning. He is not racist against mexicans, blacks, asians, and indians. He operates even with enormous sour grapes conservative obstructionist tactics, but makes progress and gets things done anyway. He presses forward, strong, positive, and resolute even though the Republican narrative is driven by deep bigotry, misinformation, and a desire to see him fail.

Republicans like Brewer stand for crud, which is essentially what Bush represented for 8 horrific years. Republicans stink.

Agree. Brewer is Republican personified: dumb, inarticulate, more than willing to lie and always ready to use fear in order to scare her ignorant base.

if she loses the election because of this....Arizonans will have to move out of "little Mexico." Be careful what you wish for as they say in modernspeak.

-Jan Brewer is not in the Network (the group planning the New World Order).

-Jan Brewer is therefore attacked by the controlled media.

-Jan Brewer is making it more difficult for elite to operate in secret.

-The "Elite" (Illuminati) want Jan Brewer out of office.

-For some reason, the elite do not want the masses to know about beheadings in Arizona. Hmmm?

I didn't see her get attacked by the media. She was asked a question and wouldn't answer it. That is not being attacked. That is what happens when you lie and get caught.
