Governor Brewer to Obama: Stop the Jokes, Secure the Border

Fox News: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer wasn't laughing when President Obama stood at the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday and joked that Republican lawmakers who won't support a sweeping overhaul of the immigration system until the border is secured won't be happy until they get a moat with alligators along the border. "I think he should get back to business being the president of the United States," Brewer told Fox News on Saturday. "I don't think his comic attitude and laughing at a serious issue is being very well received, certainly not here in Arizona, I would imagine not across America," she said. "This is a serious situation. And for him to go to a pep rally and make light of the situation is unbelievable." In a new video created by the Arizona Republican Party and posted to YouTube, Brewer tells Obama to stop the jokes, do his job and secure the border. The video notes that Brewer invited Obama to visit the Arizona border nearly a year ago, but he declined.
