The fact that Jan Brewer comes out with such a huge lie and pretends its not a bad thing for her to distort the facts is an outrage in itself but the fact that she is getting called out by the people who are actually on the ground and are responsible for all the statistical data she clearly is misrepresenting is PRICELESS !
Arizona's Brewer: Most illegal immigrants are 'drug mules'
(CNN) -- A labor union representing nearly 20,000 border patrol agents and staff Friday disputed comments made by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer that most illegal immigrants coming across the southern border are smuggling drugs.
"Well, we all know that the majority of the people that are coming to Arizona and trespassing are now becoming drug mules," Brewer said. "They're coming across our borders in huge numbers. The drug cartels have taken control of the immigration.
"So they are criminals. They're breaking the law when they are trespassing and they're criminals when they pack the marijuana and the drugs on their backs."
T.J. Bonner of the National Border Patrol Council told CNN that Brewer's claims were "clearly not the case." Bonner said that some undocumented immigrants caught by border patrol agents have drugs on them, and that they sometimes blame pressure from the drug cartels.
But, he said, those claims have little credibility because drug smugglers are typically transporting much larger quantities of drugs. And besides, he said, if what Brewer said were true, there would be many more prosecutions for drug smuggling.
Brewer's comments, Bonner said, don't "comport with reality -- that's the nicest way to put it."
