Update to this story.
Via Fox News:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday she is “disturbed and outraged” after she was informed by federal officials that not only has the government been shipping illegal immigrants out of Texas and “dumping” them in her state, it has no plans to stop.
Federal officials told Brewer Friday that the practice will continue for the foreseeable future, and this weekend more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be “dumped” in Arizona. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said.
Reports first surfaced last week that scores of illegal immigrants in Texas were being flown, bused and then abandoned out of state in Arizona and elsewhere. After learning of the practice, Brewer sent a scathing letter to the president on Monday posing a string of questions about the policy. Brewer said Friday what little she has learned since then has made her even more concerned.
“This is a crisis of the federal government’s creation, and the fact that the border remains unsecure – now apparently intentionally – while this operation continues full-steam ahead is deplorable,” she said in a statement.
Brewer said the federal government never formally informed her administration of the practice and has never explained it.
I’m going to share small personal item. Although my father was a legal immigrant to this country, he was held in a detention center for six months because someone had illegally entered using his name. He had to wait until the mess was straightened out and it was determined he was actually who he claimed to be. The very real and personally harmful consequences of illegal immigration. Till his death, he woke up periodically screaming at night from the experiences at that center.
Now Obama has, in the interests of his own political agenda created a humanitarian disaster in the making. They started this by swinging open the door of amnesty and saying come. Now, the children are here, in untenable situation, and the Feds will say, oh we must provide for them. This is an insanity created for political gain, at the expense of the children they are using as pawns. But they “care” about the children…
Just another point. Chris Christie was accused of political payback for supposedly getting back at a mayor and tying up a bridge for a few hours. What is hundreds of illegals shipped from Texas and dropped in Arizona but a pay back against Jan Brewer? And unlike the George Washington Bridge, this is a problem that cannot be unclogged in a few hours…
