AZ Governor To Illegals With US Citizen Children: Take Them Back Home With You
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has proven to be very no-nonsense when it comes to the illegal immigration problem in her state, and in a recent interview with her state’s local ABC affiliate, she showed she didn’t even spare the children of illegal immigrants who may have been born in America. Asked about how to solve the problem of mixed-status families, Brewer answered: “They can take their children back with them.”
Brewer attributed her belief to the fact that it is the illegal immigrants who make the choice to break the law in the first place, such that separation from their children is their problem, and not the government’s:
“It is illegal to trespass in our country. It has always been illegal. And people have determined that they want to take that chance, that responsibility. It’s not going to tear them apart. They can take their children back with them.”
Citing the dangers of the illegal drug trade and its strengthening at the expense of her state’s crime rate, she told ABC 9’s Joel Waldman, as he put it, “too bad” if your children are citizens and you are not. This was in response to news that a local school district was planning to sue the governor on behalf of their legal children’s illegal parents. “We are a nation of laws,” she concluded. “That’s why we are America. They made a decision, and, you know, you pay those consequences, unfortunately.”
