President Obama, No One in Arizona is Laughing

Governor Jan Brewer sparked a national debate on border security and illegal immigration when she signed SB1070. While Brewer has been celebrated by many for taking action to enforce laws that Washington has long ignored, those who oppose the law have chosen pithy punch lines over aggressive action. Far away from the border at the White House Correspondents Dinner, President Obama decided that Arizonas unsecured borders and illegal immigration crisis are a laughing matter. Unfortunately, no one in Arizona is laughing. www.JanBrewer.com

ALEC writes the laws = CCA gets the profits = Arizona tax payers foot the bill that costs them $3.5 million per year more than state-run prisons = JAN BREWER & GOP profit from CRONY CAPITALISM !!

[georgerthewes]

Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), in concert with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), drafted SB1070 to protect the profitability of private prisons funded with taxpayer dollars.

Arizona, for example, private prisons cost $3.5 million per year more than state-run prisons.

You know what they should play after that joke?

That video where the Mexican gangs take those bound and blindfolded snitches and chainsaw one of their heads off then stabbing the other in the neck with a knife until he severed the poor bastards head completely.

It's not as bad over here in north Texas but i feel very sorry for people who live in the practically lawless areas of the south. Bad people will always exist, but never leave your doors open for them.

It's sad to know thats our President! He can laugh at something so serious. He won't do the job so the states have to take it in their own hands. And he laughs. Get him the hell out!!
