Seems like she has a pretty open and closed case against the Federal government. There is no way, no how they can say that they have done either (secure the border or enforce immigration laws in Arizona [or Texas, or California, or New Mexico, for that matter]).
Via the Associated Press:
The lawsuit claims the federal government has failed to protect Arizona from an “invasion” of illegal immigrants. It seeks increased reimbursements and extra safeguards, such as additional border fences.
Brewer’s court filing serves as a countersuit in the federal government’s legal challenge to Arizona’s new enforcement immigration law. The U.S. Justice Department is seeking to invalidate the law.
“Because the federal government has failed to protect the citizens of Arizona, I am left with no other choice,” Brewer said as sign-carrying protesters yelled chants at her and at other champions of the immigration law.
Good for Gov. Brewer.

You have to hand it to Gov. Brewer. She’s not about to be trampled on.
Jan is one hell of a Governor! Love her dearly! How can the federal government not care about the crime flowing in our country and not care about our borders?
And how come this is not shared by the media?! http://www.newswithviews.com/Slagle/john18.htm
I call BS on the liberal media and the illegal aliens that only take and give nothing to our country.
They are bitching, marching, and griping in Arizona and many other states and their own country has extremely strict laws on immigration.
They can suck it, get the hell out and take your gangs and your crap with you.
Those that come here legally and contribute and appreciate the opportunities our country has to give are more than welcome.
I pray for a change that will bring stricter laws that are enforced so the gangs and illegals and held accountable and shipped out and our borders protected.
And drop the anchor baby law!
