By The Time I Get To Arizona, Part 9

Arizona's GOP Gov. Jan Brewer doubles down on her accusation that undocumented immigrants crossing the border are all "drug mules" with the scare tactic that they are responsible for decapitating people in her state.
When defending her highly criticized immigration law, Gov. Jan Brewer (R) often lists the myriad problems she says undocumented immigrants bring to her state. In an interview on Fox News last week, for example, she claimed: "We cannot afford all this illegal immigration and everything that comes with it, everything from the crime and to the drugs and the kidnappings and the extortion and the beheadings ..."

There's no better way, it seems, to make the case for strict anti-immigration laws than to claim that undocumented immigrants are pouring into the country to decapitate innocent Americans.

Brewer nonetheless stuck by the claim that undocumented immigrants are murdering Arizonans when asked about it last weekend on a local Arizona political show.

"Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert, either buried or just lying out there, that have been beheaded," she said.

The anchor notes that he couldn't find "any beheadings in any kind of news search."

The Arizona Guardian followed up, asking the state's county coroners -- who would examine any body connected with a crime -- if they'd seen the headless bodies from the desert .

They hadn't. 
They hadn't because Jan Brewer is a lying racist bigot trying to scare her constituents into supporting a clearly unconstitutional law designed to prey on Latinos.

Pre-emptive shot at the peanut gallery:  If the law is such a good law and there's no danger in harming the civil rights of anyone who's not undocumented, why is Brewer resorting to lies like this?

Um what?

"We cannot afford all this illegal immigration and everything that comes with it, everything from the crime and to the drugs and the kidnappings and the extortion and the beheadings ..."

Did you read it? I made it bold so you could spot it.

So the drugs, etc don't come with it? She's an idiot for going over the top with the beheadings, but are people dying? Are drugs involved? It's a package deal, you don't pick and choose which illegals come in and which don't.

The law is an enforcement of the Federal law. We went over this before.
