You all realize don't you that Obama, or any president, really has nothing to do with deportations. Also, deportations have increased every year - so next year, whoever is president will naturally deport more illegals than any president before him - maybe it'll be Obama, maybe it won't.
Arizona's beef is that, after pleading for help with the border crossings, they got the cold shoulder from the feds. So they decided to do something about it. And it worked - they sure got everyone's attention.
I notice none of you acknowledge the fact that a porous border means that not only illegals looking for work are coming through but others are too - and their intentions are not as benign. What's everyone's problem with shoring up border security?
Interesting. Especially so since border incursions continue unabated here in San Diego. Don't know where you live, but it's obviously not near the border. I can see Mexico from where I live. Don't drink too much Koolaid while you're reading biased media reports.
Nothing but my own eyes and actual intelligence. you only seem to have the ability to regurgitate info-bytes that you hear which fit your skewed view of reality.
@actornaught: Obama may be spending the money but he sure isn't reducing the number illegal immigrants. They're apprehending less now than before. You've just got more people doing less work. 25 per agent is not more effective than 374 per agent. Someone's sitting around on their a** a lot! Here's some info from Custom and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security.
How many 9/11 terrorists came across the border illegally? You have demonized an entire class of humanity with your irrational, knee jerk, low intelligence reactionary thinking. Try again.
"First, if Brewer's account of the incident is accurate, why did Obama bring the book up?"
Exactly, the tarmac was neither the time nor place for such conversation. Perhaps he should have read her handwritten letter to find out the spirit in which the governor was welcoming him to the State of Arizona. He only enforced the comments in her book. What a boor!
Brewer is dirty-dish blonde harpie. like the idiot yelling at POTUS during the congressional address, she, shows her dislike of the man by disrespecting the office and therefore the country.
...only now are many using the word respect as it relates to our current president...yet, the same word was never used where our former president was concerned during both of his terms...the media, the Dem party and their supporters were vicious, ruthless and unrelenting in their disdain and ugliness towards the former president...
Just like a typical republican chanting the name of REAGAN at every opportunity like mediums at a seance! Wake up - HE IS NOT JESUS AND HE IS NOT COMING BACK!!!
No, people like you are the cancer, eating away at public memory. Are you so stupid that you don't remember BUSH Jr and Sr!! You probably don't since all that people like you can remember is REAGAN since republicans chant his name at every opportunity like mediums at a seance!
Brewer claimed Obama was abrasive, rude, and thin-skinned ... all video and eye-witness evidence to the contrary. Methinks she is projecting.
Then she claimed that she felt "threatened" by Obama. Seriously? White female governor feels threatened by tall, uppity black POTUS. News at 11.
Brewer is just trying to rationalize her irrational, disrespectful behavior to save face. Her core supporters will no doubt be aroused by her stunt, but the vast majority of her constituents are most likely ashamed of their governor right now.

Figures don't lie but liars will figure. Don't believe all that Obama's front men tell you.
