Just one more aspect of Barack Obama's war on the States, the rule of law, and Mexican children:
Angry about the federal government sending from Texas to Arizona immigrants who are in the country illegally, Arizona officials say they are rushing federal supplies to a makeshift holding center in the southern part of the state that's housing hundreds of migrant children and is running low on the basics.
Or, making the States - in this case, Arizona - solve and pay for the problem the feds inflicted upon it.
Governor Jan Brewer's spokesman, Andrew Wilder, said Friday that conditions at the holding center are so dire that federal officials have asked the state to immediately ship the medical supplies to the center in Nogales.
A Homeland Security Department official told the Associated Press that children are sleeping on plastic cots but about 2,000 mattresses have been ordered, and portable toilets and showers have been brought to the holding center — a warehouse that has not been used for detention in years.
Does it strike anybody else as being, oh, I don't know, kind of brutal to encourage families south of the border to send their teenage kids north, by themselves, with no resources, to then be rounded up not to be sent back home again, but rather dumped in a different state at a facility with dearths of everything from water to mattresses to medical supplies? The only thing the Obama Regime is eager to pay for is lawyers to prevent their rightful deportation. I called it "child endangerment" this morning and I'll call it that here.
Governor Brewer is, in the mean time, not happy with this state of affairs:
Brewer sent an angry letter to President Barack Obama on Monday demanding that the program of dropping off families at bus stations in Phoenix stop immediately. She called the program dangerous and unconscionable, asked for details and demanded to know why state authorities weren't consulted or even informed.
The governor said she hadn't received a response to her letter by Friday.
Nor is she likely to. The Regime sees no reason to even acknowledge lowly State officials that it sees as subordinate to them, and it seems quite evident that Barack Obama still has it in for Jan Brewer and her state over their "brazen" move to enforce the immigration laws his White House refuses to "faithfully execute" back in 2010. And, of course, the White House wants to turn Arizona "blue," just like they do Texas, just like they did California after the 1986 amnesty, and backdoor amnesties via the unleashing of tens of thousands of illegal teenagers is the way they're going to do it.
Governor Brewer is, in a word, powerless. How do her State and all the others re-empower themselves? Funny you should ask. Would a convention for Republic review - yet another use of the law to rein in a lawless junta, which is the same basic argument gun-grabbers use to claim that disarming the law-abiding will paradoxically protect them - do the trick? Who knows? But with the proper motivation, amazing things are possible - and no State has more motivation in this regard than Arizona.
Exit question: Anybody know how far north the effective Arizona-Mexican border has moved by now? I'm guessing somewhere around Salt Lake City.
