Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said the president told her he planned to send federal officials to her state this month to engage in "direct dialogue" on Arizona's controversial new immigration law.

Ms. Brewer, a Republican, met with President Barack Obama in the White House's Oval Office on Thursday. She described the exchange as "cordial."

According to a White House statement on the meeting, the president "reiterated his concern" about the law, and listened to Ms. Brewer's concerns. He told her that his administration had reduced border crime and illegal immigration, according to the statement, which didn't mention the plan to send officials to Arizona.

Ms. Brewer said that she and the president didn't directly discuss a potential federal lawsuit against her state, and that he indicated it was an issue for the Department of Justice.

"Ms. Brewer said that she and the president didn't directly discuss a potential federal lawsuit against her state, and that he indicated it was an issue for the Department of Justice."

As though our Great National Mistake has no control over his own administrative departments.

Jan Brewer should use the tax money that would go to the Feds to build that fence. So should the other states; since they are not using our money properly.
