The Lady Doth Protest: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Tells Morning Joe ‘We’re Not Racist’

video
» 250 comments

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Tuesday morning to discuss her new book, “Scorpions For Breakfast” and strongly defended her aggressive border control policy with the implementation of the controversial anti-immigration law SB 1070. “We are not racist,” Brewer insisted. “We are not bigoted but we know that, quote, the liberal media generally wants to shove that race card out there. They want to throw it around very, very loosely, to shut down the debate. We have a severe problem.”

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele had asked Brewer if there were repercussions for the Republican Party among Hispanics for taking such a hardline stance on immigration. “There has been some political damage done more broadly speaking to the GOP. The tone, the rhetoric of the debate has moved away from some of the core centrals that you advocated in terms of border security, and the like. How does the GOP now in your estimation reconcile itself with the community of voters that is only going to grow both in terms of its number and certainly in its influence over the next four or five years as we look at the political process involved?” questioned Steele. “We can’t afford to have Hispanics align themselves with one party in this nation knowing that a lot of the values and interests that we have are common. How do we reconcile this given the heat of this debate so far?”

“I believe that 70% of people in America, they understand that and they agree with us in Arizona,” argued Brewer. “Every poll will tell you — they agree with what we’re doing.”

Host Joe Scarborough asked Brewer where she was getting the 70% number, but she could not cite her statistics.

Brewer may have been referencing a 2010 Angus Reid Public Opinion poll that said 71 percent of Americans supported “arresting people who couldn’t prove they were in the United States legally.” However, Brewer was ignoring Steele’s larger point about Latino backlash to the law, which an Arizona State University poll showed 81% of which opposed SB 1070.

    I like how you suggest she is a racist, for defending herself against the charges. Because protecting US sovereignty is clearly racist………  James Crugnale, you’re an asshole. An asshole working for the Democrat party.

    Nice headline. Seems like James Crugnale would fit right in at MessNBC.

    Over on that network, they like to say things like “conservatives oppose immigration”. They’re either too dumb or too dishonest to refer to it what it is — illegal immigration.

    Tens of thousands of Americans would be alive today if not for illegal aliens sneaking into the US committing crimes , especially drunk driving . We have our own criminals here , don’t need any more .

    If Obama would crack down on illegals , starting with his own family , the country would be in much better shape .

    this assumes that latinos are pro-illegal immigration.

    Is there a basis to this via polls?  Many latinos are socially conservative and likely favor legal-only behavior.  Seems like mainly politicians and media folks favor breaking the law and for the law-abiding immigrants being denied immigration because others break the law to get ahead of the line.

    The Americans living on the border have been terrorized and driven from their homes by the horde of illegals pouring across the border .

    What would the President of Mexico say if we sneak South into Mexico and use their schools, hospitals and welfare system ? Okay if we wave our flag and protest and demand our rights ?

    The AP is reporting that an illegal alien from Bolivia has been convicted in Manassas VA for drunk driving that killed a nun and severely injured two other nuns in the crash.  He had been convicted twice before and never deported.  His legal status did not come up one time during the trial.  Two years ago two teenage girls who were best friends in VA Beach VA were struck from behind while waiting at a stop light and both killed by an illegal alien from Mexico who had also had been previously convicted of drunk driving and disorderly conduct several times but never deported.  They never had a chance as he rammed them doing over 50 mph.  Does that mean that those who think these people should have been deported the first time are racist?  Why must the word racist come into the conversation?  Why can’t the laws on the books be enforced?  Why are the lawbreakers protected and who will defend law abiding citizens?

    Again the complete failure of Washington and the political process!  Why can’t they simply secure the borders and then pass legislation that will recognize the contributions of migrant workers and also the immigration process! Why is it that they simply can’t pass legislation that they can support and enforce?  Instead you have Washington fighting against the states, and a president and high ranking bureaucrats simply choosing to not enforce US law which is a violation of oath.  

    If they feel that the laws are wrong, then do the hard work of fixing them!  Never have I seen a mess like DC, failure after failure yet they keep their jobs, something is wrong, very very wrong!

    The good news is that under President Obama we are finally beginning to deport those who entered illegally and have committed crimes while here. That’s the first time that this has happened on a broad scale since the deportation of Mafia figures in the 20′s and 30′s and of Nazis in the 30′s, 40′s and 50′s. Thank you, President Obama, for actually working to make us safer and for doing the work Presidents Nixon, Raygun, Poppy, Clinton and W refused to do!

    No Congress in 30 years  has really addresed illegal immigration, if they did they would provide enough funding to secure border. Both sides wants to keep this issue alive for political gain. We have highest number of deportations ever this year, but with funding for about 400,000 deportations, we fall well short of making a real dent in the problem.

    So what does that say about your elected officials that they are willing to play with the lives of millions of people living here in the states. There are strong arguments to be made on both sides of the issue, there are many jobs that would not be done if these people were not here, it has been fairly well documented that without migrant workers many farmers would not be able to bring there produce to market.  It has also been demonstrated that illegal immigration from Mexico is out of control and that it carries with it a heavy price to the states and local communities in the form of education benefits and entitlements.  

    If your elected representatives are not serious about the work that needs to be done for this country then it is time that we get rid of them and put someone in office who gives a shit about where this country is headed.  

    This game of politics being played by both parties and the president has gone way to far!

  • Tan

    The way that the law originally was planned to work, WAS pretty racist you have to admit. It gave police subjective means to question someone, I.e. It was giving police the power to use their subjective judgement to decide whether or not to challenge someone on whether they had their papers ON them right then and there. Yes the law changed after that for the better, but the original bill that Brewer liked did indeed give people subjective power. In doing so she was taking away basic rights of all Arizonians and handing their fate to the police who are flawed human beings like we all are. Humans cannot help but categorize and stereotype, that’s a basic fact of our psychology. So giving people that power was giving racism power since all the law needed to be to be racist was to have the POSSIBILITY of there being one racist cop, and of course Brewer cannot see into the hearts of the police in the whole state, so she was effectively giving racism power by attempting to pass that law. She should have known better. She doesn’t need to be racist herself to be guilty of inflicting racism on her constituents. As governor she should never have considered a law like that which in it’s original incarnation would have allowed a police officer to arrest a witness to a crime if they challenged them on their papers after becoming suspicious that they were in the country illegally (by looks which is equal to racism). Also; the person would have to have their papers ON them at all times under the law, so presumably a great deal of Latino looking people would have to carry their papers at all times to avoid being arrested.

    well, it’s nice to see that any conversation about left or right wing politics has broken down to back and forth sniping match between self-important douchebags and blow hards. To nearly everyone who has posted comments here so far: you make being on the left or the right a cringe-worthy, shameful experience. You are the reason so many people are undecided and apathetic, because you make both sides seem equally as childish, foolish and wasteful with their time. Get a life….not an opinion….a life.

  • Greatest Living American

    Maybe. But you know what else would happen? Our entire agricultural sector would collapse. Because, like it or not, our entire agricultural economy depends on hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to pick, harvest, and process our food. Without illegal labor, Americans would starve. And if you have a problem with this, don’t blame Obama or Bush or any politician. Blame big agribusiness – Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto, and Tyson Chicken. They’re the ones who spend millions every year on political campaigns, K Street lobbyists, lawyers and everything else to keep any real immigration reform from happening. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, hell, even Ron Paul, can’t really do a damn thing to change it. So stop whining about “libs” and the “dems” and realize that it’s systemic, and the GOP isn’t gonna do a damn thing about it, either – except maybe exploit your anger and pass a bunch of meaningless “laws” to get you to contribute your money to their campaigns. Wake the hell up already. Duh!

  • Anonymous

    Enforcing Illegal immigration is now racist? Amazing!…. Forget protecting our citizens, national security, the accountability for our tax dollars, protecting our resources. 

    Liberals and Hispanics must feel that the prosperity of our nation is so overwhelming right now, unemployment so low, jobs in abundance, that we legal citizens can and want to pay for people who are not here legally? We want to fund college loans for non-citizens, who may or may not stay and ‘give back’ to our nation. We want our elementary school filled in abundance in border states with non-english speaking students, so precious education dollars are eaten away with dual-immersion programs, ESL, instead of funding those for gifted and talented students and keeping sports, theater, art & music thriving.  There is only so much to go around, should those who are not entitled to our tax dollars be the first to get entitlements? 
    $10.5 BILLION annually in California is the tab for illegal immigration. 
    There is a process for legal immigration into our country just as there is for every country, does it need to be reformed – absolutely. Should the reforms be at the expense of legal law abiding immigrants and US citizens -no.

    “Now every person of color is suspected of being illegal?” Well if they did something to warrant a police encounter- the police have every right to uphold the law and ask for ID, standard procedure- they also ask for a car registration – what’s the problem?

    Should a ‘person of color’ be totally exempt for showing a legal ID because of their race or color of their skin when stopped by police, or causing a problem that requires police involvement? No – because that would be racist.

    Prez: The Great Wall of China may still be standing, but people get around it pretty easily these days. Hadrian’s Wall did NOT keep the Scots and Celts out of England, nor did it stop England and Scotland from becoming one nation. The Soviet Iron Curtain lasted less than 40 years and today it is meaningless. So your analogy, even though you didn’t mean it to be, is spot on: A wall across the Mexican border will not stop anyone and would be a temporary remedy at best.

    As for the fence around your yard, did it ever occur to you that no one comes into your ard because they’d rather not visit you?

  • Ladmobagparty

    Yes. Everyone knows there is nothing that can be done to convince conservatives to believe in sane common sense immigration policies

  • caconservative

    Police work is subjective. The police must use subjectivity as much as objectivity in matters such as stopping and detain a suspect on discretion alone. Asking a person for proper ID is within police purview. All persons with visas to this country know they are, by law, required to have proper ID on them at all times. Latinos who have proper ID, or who are legal citizens have nothing to be afraid of.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dave-Francis/100002158029860 Dave Francis

    ACT NOW—TODAY!

    Firstly American workers are suffering because of the unending flood of illegal
    aliens stealing jobs for decades. Now its cut-backs on health care for our most
    vulnerable–our Senior citizens. Our elderly population is under attack by the
    Joint Select committee of 12 prominent politicians from both sides of the
    chamber, which has the responsibility of reducing federal deficit by the
    November 23.  Not getting into this
    insidious plan of why our politicians are so disposed to take away Health care
    to the American public, that’s even though they have paid into Social Security,
    since they began to work. Yet nonetheless the Congress is subsidizing the
    20 million illegal alien’s access to Medicaid and in some cases Medicare? The
    Obama health law, enacted a new policy 18 months ago,  to raid Medicare, towards funding new entitlements
    for low-income people, thus robbing our old inhabitants to spread the benefits,
    which includes the extreme poverty allowed into this sovereign country.

     

     

    This contentious law reduces Medicare future funding by $575
    billion over 10 years, and applying the majority of it of $10 Billion dollars
    to augment Medicaid enrollment and its entitlements. The Obamacare law
    transforms Medicaid from a provisional safety net to a permanent substitute. This
    absorbs private medical insurance to a mandatory equivalent. Therefore,
    Medicaid expenses will top $900 billion by 2020 of both federal and state
    subsidies, estimated to be the equivalent of Medicare. Less known is that in
    addition to expanding Medicaid, and opposite to the Obama administration
    guarantee, the new law allots billions of dollars to expand services chiefly
    for illegal aliens. This includes $11 billion for community health Clinics
    serving those not qualified for Medicaid. We have a growing, paramount occupation
    of the illegal invaders, who have been hired by criminal businesses
    countrywide. My question, without fear of contradiction why should senior’s
    health care be slashed to free up resources for persons, who have never paid
    anything into the fund?

     

     

    This includes females who deliberately slip across our
    borders, or concealing that they are pregnant when arriving by international
    flights. That in itself covers around 300.000 annually, according to the
    Federation of American immigration Reform. Thay can immediately get free health
    care under false pretenses of an amendment that has been manipulated by Leftist
    judges. THESE INDIVIDUAL ILLEGAL
    FAMILIES ARE ALREADY CAUSING FINANCIAL ISSUES FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES IN REDUCING
    HEALTH CARE AND LOWERING OUR ONCE HIGH EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS, BY COURTS THAT
    ARE NOT FOLLOWING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES THINKS WE OWE
    THE WORLD A LIVING. THESE ECONOMIC MIGRANTS AND ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS HAVE BEEN
    ALLOWED TO STEAL FROM US BY SEROIUSLY FAULTED POLICIES. 

     

     

    Exhibiting their incompetence
    the Department of IN-Justice strong-armed different states, using the court
    system to force their own policies of what they claim is unconstitutional police
    laws. Arizona was essentially the first state to feel the wrath of judicial
    branch, followed by Alabama and Georgia. Each sovereign state’s main objective
    is to stop the occupation of ECONOMIC illegal aliens causing a major disruption
    in its public entitlement to its citizens and lawful residents. In connivance
    with the Communist founded ACLU, business concerns and the usual open border organizations,
    plus church and unions was to prosecute these ailing states. Without any relevant interest in the
    taxpayers tax extortion of every states, the DOJ is determined it is now time
    to buckle on the sword of menace and turning their radical attention on South
    Carolina. All these threatening postures will be remembered next
    November, when the TEA PARTY votes in force. The Obama  administration keeps quiet that fiscal costs
    of education for the children and free health care for illegal families, is a—UNFUNDED
    MANDATE ON THE 50 STATES.

     

     

    Cuts to Medicare are
    not about reducing federal spending, but about redistributing healthcare. This
    is because we are importing more and more poverty, when we cannot support our
    own poor.

     

     

    If we are to prevent this unfettered flow of desperate
    illegal nationals from other countries, we must bring to the floor of the house
    ‘The Legal Workforce Act’. Rep. Smiths MANDATORY E-Verify can and will finally
    turn the stream of illegal alien labor into trickle, turning of the faucet off
    for jobs eventually. Without the foundation of work, families will no longer be
    able to settle, unless they live completely on handouts from crippled welfare
    sources churches or charity. Removing the 8.5 million jobs from people who have
    no right to be here, will release those jobs, so American workers can pay their
    bills. Complicity between politicians and the business lobbyists, open border
    entities, have brought the United States to this dismal, hapless chaos we are
    surrounded by. E-Verify in its own way can regenerate jobs for lawful hires,
    and accomplishes uncountable self-deportations. The failure of Reagan’s 1986
    Amnesty plan has brought tremendous bloodshed from illegal drunken drivers,
    hard core criminals brought here through unresponsiveness and corrupt lawmakers;
    many still sit in Washington.

     

     

    Each far-sighted American can alter the financial direction
    we are heading, in the midst of Obama’s redistribution of what legal residents
    have worked for all their lives. Undertake to call legislators relating to ‘THE
    LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT’ (Bill H.R.
    2885.)  Contact the WAYS &
    MEANS JUDICIAL COMMITTEE that can sponsor and expeditiously vote the law into
    reality. Don’t let this permanent law slip out of all Americans reach.  Start a incessant bombardment of the House of
    Representative, beginning with majority Speaker of the House, John
    Boehner (R-OH) to get his fellow House Representatives of their unenthusiastic posteriors
    and sponsor Bill H.R.
    2885. You can study more about the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ at the NumbersUSA website,
    which additionally gives you the current immigration records a grade for all
    the candidates in the GOP race for president. You
    can also send a free-fax through NumbersUSA or just please call your House
    Representative at the Congressional Switchboard phone number, who will switch
    you to the appropriate office at 202-224-3121.

     

     

    Obama’s clan will do anything to win in
    2012, including ignoring illegal aliens voting in the election. This has
    happened multiple times before, with the ACORN organization using inappropriate
    registrations and forged absentee ballots. The Tea Party will be involved in
    watching for irregularities in the general election.

    You just proved my point! Why are only Latinos relevant? Because they will be the ones stopped and asked and THAT is the racist profiling issue! WHY should perfectly legal Latino Americans have to suffer that when their only ‘crime’ is having Latino features?!!!

    My point is, they shouldn’t HAVE to go thru that when wholesome ‘American’ looking people are not put through the same thing! It is irrelevant whether the person can save themselves by producing the right papers (another issue with your argument is that the original law required that the person be able to ON THE SPOT (!!!) produce these papers, hence carry them at all times in fear when people with non Latino features need not have to!). Saving themselves is irrelevant bc when one race of people is subjected to that sort of treatment when another race is not, it IS racism!

    Liberals POINT is not that illegals should go Scot free, but simply that it is inherently unfair and discriminatory to make LEGAL Latino citizens and residents suffer in order to punish illegals. It’s not a difficult concept. It’s like conservatives just can’t see things from anothers perspective. Remember how Senator Rubio came out against the law before he was scared off? Because he knew people like him and his family would suffer racial discrimination as a result. Conservatives need to be personally affected by something to understand it.

    If

    with the wake of destruction caused by these illegal aliens, then (and only
    then) you might possibly be remotely qualified to talk about this subject. Come
    on down here and have your vehicle side swiped by some illegal alien driving a
    pickup truck. If you actually get the driver to stop and a police officer to
    investigate, you’ll then find out that the illegal alien who damaged your
    vehicle has no insurance and no valid drivers license and…..the police will
    in most cases simply let the illegal alien go while you are stuck with the tab.
    This crap happens out here every day but idiots who do not live here seem to
    think that they are somehow qualified to interject their unrealistic viewpoints
    into the discussion. And if dubya had gotten his way….things would have
    become exponentially worse will illegal aliens running all over the place doing

    I do not support amnesty, don’t miss understand what I am saying here, it has been demonstrated especially in agriculture that there are jobs that Americans just won’t do reliably.  Like I said above many farmers would not be able to bring their produce to market without migrant workers. 

    What I am saying in my comment is that we must recognize this, we also must recognize the point that you make about the cost that illegal immigration is imposing on the states which is significant.  No one even gives serious consideration to those who are trying to enter the country legally and find themselves having to wait for years with never a guarantee of being accepted.  

    The laws need to be fixed into something that the American public will support and something that our government will fully support and enforce. By no means do I support illegal immigration, but nor am I blind to the reality of the situation either.

Just recently he said we don’t need Congress,we’ll just go around them,the man has lost it, the power has gone to his head and with that we are losing freedoms left and right, restrictions, regulations ,religious freedoms,speech,phone taps,food police,parental rights,socialist teachings in our schools,pledge of allegiance gone, prayer before a football or baseball,etc.,games gone. Well folks one woman Madlyn Ohare took prayer out of schools in this whole country, one woman and now our athiest’s are doing the same adding those writings in our childrens school books along with homosexuality for our little ones.to learn about..
    STRANGEST THING,,OUR CHILDREN HAVE THE LOWEST SCORES IN ALL SUBJECTS OF ALL AGE GROUPS THROUGHOUT MOST COUNTRIES. BUT THEY WILL LEARN ALL ABOUT ATHEISM AND HOMOSEXUALITY.IN OUR SOCIALIST SCHOOLS.WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE RIGHTS OFTHE FAMILY AND THE FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION?
    OH, THE MAGIC WORDS.:THE FAMILY,MORALS,VALUES,DIGNITY,PRIDE.

    Just so we understand, you can vomit the word with unfactual backing but liberals can’t ID the factual action of the word. Ok!

    Apparently the Left has a very serious Learning Disability.  They still don’t know what the word ILLEGAL means.  Arizona is defending it’s borders against Illegals, people who are not supposed to be here.  I just pray in 2012 we get rid of these Fools and get a Real American in Office.  I know I will be Raising Cain for Herman Cain in 2012!  He has more American Values, Common Sense, and Intelligence in his SNOT than Obama or any Leftist has or will ever hope to have in their entire pathetic lives!

    Do you understand and/or accept the need to consider, reason, logic and “causality” in societal dilemmas of this nature?

    If you don’t understand such, then it is virtually impossible for the right and left, to talk or negotiate any resolution to the problem.  Ergo, you and your “compatriots” believe, with all your political fervor, that the train coming will stop before you all get hit!  Furthermore, you, the left, feel bad that an inner city youth can’t go to Harvard, whereas, the political right, understands going to Harvard requires food, clothing, transportation, books, buildings, professors, etc…  Fantasy, versus reality!  America needs to repair some damage before we can be our usual, benevolent selves?

    Whereas, I am telling you that it would be prudent for you and your chums, to get out of the way of the train!  I can only hope that as long as things go your way, the gene pool will be appropriately altered.  (One other thought, that is one of the problems with a Republic such as ours, the reasonable are stuck, briefly, with the policies of the irrational.)

    It’s odd that you automatically assume that someone who criticizes “one side” is always a part of the “other side”.
    I have voted libertarian in the last three elections and will continue to do so.
    Adjust your viewpoint a little and you’ll find a wider array of opinions than just “right and left”.

    SCHUTZ STAFFEL,

    I didn’t comment on your Libertarian inclinations as I did not know about them.  

    However, I did comment on your questionable assessment of Governor Brewer and her governance of the State of Arizona.  Moreover, I questioned your cortical processing, hence reasoning skills, involving substantive issues. (Or, lack thereof.)  Specifically, a peculiar intransigence that seems to make Liberals prone to emotion as opposed to reason.

    To recapitulate, I did not “automatically assume” anything, my comment was based strictly on your views and the web-site recommended by you, on your post.

    When will the madness Stop! We need to Protect these illegal immigrants and their children! SO let make ICE do their JOB and DEPORT all these poor illegal immigrants and their chidren back to whatever country they came FROM. CONFISCATE ALL their WORLDLY POSSESSIONS and Sale their Possessions at Public Auction and use the Money to Help Pay for Social sevices for Legal Immigrants and United States Citizens. Deport more of these poor illegal immigrants Back to their Homeland Broke. That way it will discourage them to Stay at their Homeland, People not to come to United States without PROPER PAPERS. Illegal immigrants and their children ARE costing United States Taxpayers BILLIONS of Dollars. People who support illegal immigrants and their chidren Need to support these people in their own Homeland.

    Allgemeine SS,

    Of course I did!  In my first retort, I pointed out a propensity of the lIberal/Socialist’s (You) to disregard reason, logic and “causality.”  Also, in my second retort, I pointed out that the Liberal /Socialist’s (You) rely on emotion, meaning, you avoid connecting the dots, so to speak. (Causality)

    Do I really need to further elaborate on this, or, are you going to concede that Liberal’s tend to disregard practicalities like having money in the check book? Such is in your nature.  (When in doubt, build a gulag)  

    Ergo, if and until  you accept and understand causality, specific debate, is pointless.

    We could bring in masses of South and Central American immigrants, feed them, cloth them, house them, minimally medicate them, nominally educate them.  Make them work 6 days a week (wink wink, actually 7)  Build them a company store where they have to spend all their meager wages so they become impoverished and beholden to the “company.”

    BUT, we won’t call it slavery!

    That’s the legal term and it’s been the legal term for decades. Duh. 

    When snark goes bad, you end up looking like an idiot!

    Every Republican candidate has said they are all for LEGAL immigration. They have said it numerous times in various debates… Care to provide any evidence of what you are talking about?

    LOL – Darladoon is a hardcore liberal and she can’t even stand you. When all of your friends start to hate you, you ought to look in the mirror!

    To be a racist, one has to hate all blacks everywhere. Leftists cannot prove that of ANYONE they level the charge of ‘racism’ at.

    Everyone knows this to be true.

    you are a wimp demec…Angli had an awesome comment that you can’t respond to. Did you know that 70% of all Americans like the Tea Party and like what they stand for? They just aren’t active members of it. They vote in the voting booth and will reject liberals who constantly breakdown all American and family values……and are changing this country into something that resembles another failed socialist nation run by government that fails in the end. Name ONE socialist country that has ever succeeded?
