On Monday, after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Arizona’s decision to not issue driver’s licenses to those who received temporary amnesty from the federal government, Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vowed to fight a president she said was “imperial” and “lawless” for more secure borders.
Brewer pointed out that the Court’s decision could force Arizona to issue driver’s licenses in the future to the illegal immigrant children who are currently flooding across the border, and she said she would continue to demand that President Barack Obama secure the country’s borders.
Brewer, who has criticized and demanded answers from the Obama administration for dumping illegal immigrants in Arizona without notifying state officials, also accused Obama of worsening the border crisis by unilaterally enacting the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in 2012 that gave temporary amnesty to certain illegal immigrant DREAMers.
The number of illegal immigrant children flooding across the border has drastically increased since Obama enacted DACA by executive fiat in 2012.
.@BarackObama creates DACA by fiat & illegal aliens overrun USA. AZ will continue to fight this imperial POTUS & demand secure borders.
