• W408736039 abstract "Scorpions for Breakfast Governor Brewer Broadside Books, 2011The title of this book is appropriate. Someone blogging on a web site set up to support Governor Brewer her fight against illegal border crossings into her state described her appropriately, saying Jan Brewer eats for breakfast. It's a description that brings to mind a not-very-pleasant part of desert wildlife a beautiful state, but that befits her toughness and readiness to stand up to scorpions of politics and cultural conflict. Her book centers on two things: predicament has been because of illegal immigration, and often strident opposition she has run into from President Obama and his administration and from diverse groups that welcome cross- border influx.Brewer has a long history politics. She was first elected to State House of Representatives 1982, and then to State Senate, before twice winning election as Arizona's Secretary of State. She explains that has unusual procedure that Secretary of State (rather than a lieutenant governor) takes office when a serving governor steps down, which is why she became governor January 2009 when Janet Napolitano leftto take her place Obama administration as Secretary of Homeland Security. Brewer was elected governor her own right (by a landslide) November 2010.Arizona's predicament has many faces. Illegal immigration into United States has been ongoing for many years, but it was exacerbated for Arizona, a state located inland along border with Mexico, when early 1990s federal government conscious decision to redirect illegal aliens east from San Diego and west from Texas by shoring up border those two locations. The result is that now Arizona is site of most illegal crossings. Brewer tells magnitude: 2009... Border Patrol caught more than 550,000 illegal aliens [entering Arizona], and over 240,000 of these apprehensions occurred Tucson sector. She adds that the Border Patrol estimates that it apprehends only one four illegal border crossers. This influx is not limited to Mexicans; Brewer says the organized crime and drug and human smuggling rings that control flow... are global operations, bringing illegal crossers from all over world into Mexico and then funneling them through to destinations virtually every state....From this, we see that immigration is no longer just, or even primarily, of individuals fleeing north, assisted by small enablers. It has been taken over by drug cartels and other smuggling rings. Mom-and-pop smuggling operations have largely been replaced by cold-blooded, high-stakes, organized criminal gangs. The result is that many of those entering carry automatic weapons; gangs war among themselves for control of trade; those smuggled are made to serve as reluctant drug mules with heavy backpacks full of drugs taped to their bodies; hundreds of drop houses are set up to hold immigrants Phoenix and elsewhere, sometimes as prisoners held for ransom to be paid by their relatives Mexico and United States; spotters occupy mountains, often living for months at a time in primitive caves called 'spider holes'; and since 2001, bodies of more than 2,100 men, women, and children have been found desert. The flow of people results tremendous environmental damage... In 2006 alone, over a million pounds of trash was [sic] picked up along border. There are mountains of water bottles, backpacks, food wrappers, used diapers, and human excrement.Brewer continues describing impact on her state. Violent crime [has] invaded our cities. (This is addition to murder of a popular rancher on his spread next to border, a murder that was especially shocking to Brewer and many other Arizonans. …" @default.
