Facebook Apologizes for Deleting Arizona Governor’s Post
Facebook issued an apology Saturday for deleting a post by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer that criticized President Obama over his administration’s new policy on prioritizing deportations of illegal immigrants.
Brewer’s picture and a statement that accompanied it were removed Friday from Facebook, apparently because they “violated Facebook community standards.”
If you are on Facebook, you know what a load of crappy crap crap that is!
Brewer, one of the president’s toughest critics on border policy, said the administration’s recent move to launch a case-by-case review of illegal immigrants slated for deportation amounts to an immigration overhaul “via executive fiat.”
“This plan amounts to backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of illegal aliens,” the Republican governor said in a written statement. “We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law.”
Is that, or is it not, the truth? I’d say, yep….she’s speaking the truth.
According to Facebook policy, moderators remove posts when they fall under the categories of threat, bullying and harassment, hate speech, graphic violence, sex and nudity, theft, vandalism or fraud, identity and privacy, intellectual property, phishing and spam.
Governor Brewer’s statement involved no threats, no hate speech, no nudity, so why did FB REALLY delete her post? Well, let’s see…. perhaps it’s because they have turned into Obama’s censors? Considering that they allow Jihadists to spew their hatred and calls for violence against Israel, I think they need to rethink their policies. The 1st Amendment allows us to disagree with the government, whether the left likes it or not. Sure didn’t bother that side to use the 1st to advocate violence the previous president, the murder of military officers, harass and bully anyone who disagrees with them.
Do you know where to find a copy of her original post? We should start a campaign among interested FB users in which we all cut and paste the same thing to see if the FB censors delete them all.
She’s got it back up on her page….personal and politician. But I’m good at copy and paste, sooooo……
Regardless, I’m reposting the photo and statement. I think many of you will agree with me – - Obama’s backdoor amnesty plan violates American standards of following the rule of law and the US Constitution.

The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There’s simply no other description for today’s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria.
This plan amounts to backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of illegal aliens. Especially disturbing is that it comes in the wake of the Obama administration sanctioning the sale of weapons to Mexican drug cartels – even as border states such as Arizona come under threat from those same illicit organizations. With this announcement, the President is encouraging more illegal immigration at the exact moment we need federal focus on border security.
Just last month in speaking to the National Council of La Raza, President Obama rejected the idea of bypassing Congress and imposing immigration reform. He said, “Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And believe me, right now dealing with Congress, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting … But that’s not how our system works. That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.”
President Obama got it right last month and got it really wrong today.
Over the next 15 months, I’m certain we’ll hear a lot of talk from the Obama administration about its concern for border security. Those of us who truly care about the rule of law will remember the President’s actions of today. We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law.
Hmm….the picture didn’t show. Poop.
Thanks……………!
Yer welcome.
