Double Illegal
SB 1070 was signed by Gov. Brewer and liberals immediately reacted in typical rhetoric blasting Brewer, wild allegation of racism and civil liberties. Arizona state inherits a larger share of illegal immigration issues than most other states. A weak border is bad defense against terrorist infiltration. Management and legitimate assistance by the federal government continues to be lacking. Governor Brewer is leading to protect Arizona's population for the sake of its citizens and restore law and order. Democrats and other liberal groups rallied against SB1070 with protest demonstrations. She followed up illegal legislation by making it against the law to arrest people by profiling. [2]
Sanctity of Life
Jan Brewer has signed into law a package of pro-life bills that would limit abortions by banning the partial-birth abortion procedure. [3] Passed legislation that mandated twenty-four hour waiting periods before an abortion could take place.
