Not a job for a woman. Just another
measure to weaken the US by obama.

i lived in az. janet is a powerful woman. she would be an excellent choice.

we need good strong women in positions of power. this is the woman who could potentially take on sarah palin in 2016. a national presidential appointment like this would give her the kind of experience to boost her campaign.

She is for open borders. She vetoed every measure that would be harmful to illegal immigrants.

She vetoed bills that would help local officials arrest illegal immigrants.

Her record as governor is for open borders.

She will be the best friend to illegal immigrants.

Headline is a tiny bit off. She wouldn't be the first, only the first female.
