Ariz. Governor Orders Troops to Border

This is actually a funny story! The governor is a Democrat and is bowing to pressure. I heard about this story a few months ago. Basically, the polls in AZ showed that the vast majority of citizens there wanted troops on the border. She went on TV and promoted that she wanted to do that, but was just talking and never planned on actually doing it. Then the Republicans introduced a bill and is forcing her to sign it or veto it and go show that is never meant to do anything.

Quote:

The Democratic governor proposed sending troops to the border more than two months ago. Her critics in the Republican-led Legislature then introduced a bill requiring her to do so and providing $10 million for the project.

The bill won final approval Wednesday in the House and was headed to the governor, but she promised to veto the measure, saying it infringes on her constitutional powers as commander in chief of the Arizona National Guard.

Too funny! It is the same as when the Democrats were saying, "we want troops out of Iraq today!" and the Republicans introduced a bill to pull out troops immediately and called the Democrats on their bluff as almost none of them voted on pulling troops out IMMEDIATELY. Democrats are finally being called to the carpet. In the AZ case, Republicans get troops on the border (which conservatives want) and they get a Democratic governor to do it!

It just gets better! Now Hillary Clinton is slamming Republicans on this issue.

Quote:

WASHINGTON --Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential White House candidate in 2008, said Wednesday some Republicans are trying to create a "police state" to round up illegal immigrants.

Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke out on the U.S. immigration policy after largely staying away from an issue that has roiled Congress in recent months and spurred a number of conflicting proposals.

Speaking at a rally of Irish immigrants, Clinton criticized a bill the House passed in December that would impose harsher penalties for undocumented workers.

"Don't turn your backs on what made this country great," she said, calling the measure "a rebuke to what America stands for."

What like sending the guard to the border?

I think someone needs to tell her that a Democrat is sending troops to the border this week. She looks like a fool.

Honestly, who would even know who Hillary Clinton was without her husband? She would be a lawyer in Arkansas if her husband wasn't the President.
