Bold steps in Arizona
When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed a new immigration law making illegal residence a state offense in addition to a federal offense, she cited a lack of federal leadership on the issue. If you perceive upper-level leaders to be ineffective, when is it right to take bold action?
Shortsighted leadership
I don't see Gov. Jan Brewer's action as a matter of boldness. It's simply a wrong action.
Better than no leadership at all
Border security is a federal responsibility, and the federal government's non-performance to date has placed an unfair burden on Arizona that its elected leaders are at least trying to address.
You better be right
In my profession, if my superiors are ineffective, action to compensate is a necessity.
Bucking the ride
Leading up when you are going against the direction of your senior leaders is risky proposition. Senior executives do not like to be challenged, especially by those they outrank.
Arizona's 'Hiccup,' the dragon-trainer
As of late, upper-level leaders had allowed immigration reform to become nothing more than a bullet on a list of "things to do if I am elected." Gov. Jan Brewer is taking action, however much I may disagree with it, towards reforming immigration in the U.S.
