\"\"The following statement was posted on Jan Brewer’s facebook page today:<\/p>\n

The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There\u2019s simply no other description for today\u2019s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This plan amounts to backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands \u2013 if not millions \u2013 of illegal aliens. Especially disturbing is that it comes in the wake of the Obama administration sanctioning the sale of weapons to Mexican drug cartels \u2013 even as border states such as Arizona come under threat from those same illicit organizations. With this announcement, the President is encouraging more illegal immigration at the exact moment we need federal focus on border security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just last month in speaking to the National Council of La Raza, President Obama rejected the idea of bypassing Congress and imposing immigration reform. He said, “Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And believe me, right now dealing with Congress, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting \u2026 But that’s not how our system works. That\u2019s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama got it right last month and got it really wrong today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the next 15 months, I\u2019m certain we\u2019ll hear a lot of talk from the Obama administration about its concern for border security. Those of us who truly care about the rule of law will remember the President\u2019s actions of today. We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arizona has led the fight to secure America’s borders. In the age of terrorism, our national security requires that we keep tract of the people who are entering our country. The Border Patrol uses the expression OTM’s (Other Than Mexican) to describe the illegal immigrants coming across the Mexican border from countries with close ties to terrorism.<\/p>\n
