Jan Brewer has lost her head.
The Arizona governor, seemingly determined to repel every last tourist dollar from her pariah state, has sounded a new alarm about border violence. "Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded," she announced on local television.
Ay, caramba! Those dark-skinned foreigners are now severing the heads of fair-haired Americans? Maybe they're also scalping them or shrinking them or putting them on a spike.
But those in fear of losing parts north of the neckline can relax. There's not a follicle of evidence to support Brewer's claim.
The Arizona Guardian Web site checked with medical examiners in Arizona's border counties and the coroners said they had never seen an immigration-related beheading. I called and e-mailed Brewer's press office requesting documentation of decapitation; no reply.
Brewer's mindlessness about headlessness is just one of the immigration falsehoods being spread by Arizona politicians. Border violence on the rise? Phoenix becoming the world's No. 2 kidnapping capital? Illegal immigrants responsible for most police killings? The majority of those crossing the border are drug mules? All wrong.

"the coroners said they had never seen an immigration-related beheading."
Beheadings, just normal, run of the mill beheadings: gang related, drug related, terrorist related...yes...but no immigrant related beheadings.
This has the marks of a think-tank-supported liberal propaganda campaign. Edward Schumacher-Matos, who writes for the WaPo Writers Group, wrote the same thing in another column a few days ago that appeared in the Atlanta "Urinal-Constipation", accusing conservatives of lying about illegal aliens and crime. Unfortunately for the campaigners, someone has already researched the subject using Southern California crime stats and testified to Congress on the subject. To find a discussion of the e-mail forward that was based on the Congressional testimony, go to Snopes.com and search on "alien" and "crime". Snopes in turn offers links to the original documents referred to.
Her actual quote to Fox, from rawstory.com quoted on CNN's breaking-news site, was
In an interview with Fox News, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said, “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.” “Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert, either buried or just lying out there, that have been beheaded,” she added.

She didn't say who did the beheadings. Presumably these were bodies that have been found on the Arizona side of the border. The newsies are rushing to call her a liar, but they're changing her quote to do it, and if it turns out she was right, they won't retract or correct.
Somebody archive this clip quickly -- before Ezra Klein's little Gollums can slip around to tell CNN to obliterate it.
Brewer has a bull’s eye on her back and the media will be cherry picking everything she says. I hope she does not back down..

Dana Milbank uses word games. What would be next? Say that there were a few bank robberies recently and the rebuttal will be - a police source said that police does not know of any “immigration-related” robberies?
I wonder how Milbank defines “immigration-related”? Beheading specifically in order to cross border?
