Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin spoke with Ariz. Gov. Jan Brewer about border security and the new Arizona immigration law.
"Arizona State has enacted a law....it mirrors the Federal Law, which allows police to ask those they otherwise have stopped, to provide a drivers licence or other verification of legal presence........I think for most American people, the reaction to this would be why haven't the police already been doing that" Sarah Palin said as she took to the stage in Arizona to support Arizona state Gov. Jan Brewer about border security and the new Arizona immigration law.
She pointed out that Mexico's President is cracking down on the violent drug cartels and corruption in his own country, that it was "time for the United States Govt, to enforce the rule of law as well".
Palin said the problems of the illegal immigration 'crisis', would never be resolved unless Governor's like Jan Brewer and the citizens of the Arizona, are convinced that "we have shut the front door of illegal immigration and drug smuggling along our own southern border"
It's time for citizens across this great country to stand up and say "We're all Arizonan's now" Palin said, and to say with 'unity', "Mr President do your job"!

The former Alaska governor appeared with Brewer at a brief news conference on Saturday. Palin defended the controversial legislation Brewer recently signed, calling Arizona "ground zero for our nation's border security issues."
The event launched a website that Brewer said was an effort to educate America about border security and discourage an economic boycott of the state.
The site, funded by Brewer's re-election campaign, shows pictures of Brewer and Palin and invites visitors to sign a petition opposing boycotts. It includes a list of politicians and organizations calling for the boycotts and asks visitors to call or e-mail to "let them know that you support Arizona."
"Our purpose today is to help the rest of the nation understand the crisis which confronts our state," Brewer said, citing the presence of human and drug smugglers.

The immigration law takes effect July 29 unless blocked by pending court challenges. It requires police enforcing another law to ask a person about his or her immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally. Being in the country illegally would become a state crime.
