Hispanic leaders, lawmakers furious over Gov. Brewer's executive order

Hispanic leaders and state lawmakers are furious over Governor Jan Brewer's latest executive order.

Governor Jan Brewer issued the order stopping state agencies from issuing aid, or driver's licenses to illegal immigrants qualifying for President Obama's deferred action program.

State lawmakers say the program would give children of undocumented workers "legal presence" in the U.S.

"This is not her own dynastic thing of Queen Governor Brewer, this is the United States of America and we have federal laws and rules we have to abide by and she's not doing it," said Randy Parra with Citizens for a Better Arizona.

Leaders accused the governor of abusing her power and said she is hiding behind an executive order.

"We don't want your face, your color, your language... get out! She should say that! Instead of hiding behind an executive order!" Parra said.

"It shows the Governor is out of touch with reality, she's out of touch between the difference of right and wrong," said State Representative Martin Quezada, (D) District 13. "She's out of touch with justice."

Hispanic lawmakers also accused the governor of  grandstanding, saying she could have simply issued a statement that she doesn't agree with President Obama's program.

"She continues to want to butt heads with the president of the United States, that's what it's all about," said State Senator Steve Gallardo, (D) District 13.

State lawmakers plan to meet with Brewer and demand that she retract the executive order.
