There -- no fallout from the supreme court's immigration decision Arizona lawmakers have accusing the Obama administration of quote declaring war on their state.

The Homeland Security Department announcing that federal agents would no longer help the state authorities in Arizona and force the she'll -- your papers provision in the immigration -- -- -- though if it applies to felons.

Georgia Republican Paul Brown -- homeland security committee is sir good morning to you and welcome back here to Americans.

Good morning -- at a feel about your colleagues in Arizona.

They absolutely ride in fact what this president.

Is doing is declare war on Arizona -- did this are trying to enforce federal law where his administration has been unwilling to do so.

And I agree with a congressman that it is about presidential politics.

They're willing to declare war to get away from -- That and create this diversion and division here in this country because the president cannot stand on his economic policies we've got to get economy going.

And create jobs and he.

He is creating all this division version and it's it is -- a war -- states sir if you believe it's about politics.

Pull votes for him now because of that.

Well I think it's a pandering to Hispanic -- try to get those people to come and vote for him.

And -- do we have the 287 G program and also the Georgia's been sued by the federal government is Georgia next they gonna take away our 287 G program that has.

Worked very well -- one of my -- such as -- county Georgia.

It's absolutely.

Critical for us to enforce federal law this president his administration.

Have been acting in a very dictatorial manner they're acting like dictators and they're doing it to divert attention away from.

Their failed policies -- -- all about presidential politics 287.

Is it what was.

Taken back to reversed I -- -- -- backcourt came out but what 287 does it that it coordinates the federal activity with the local activity.

So if you pull somebody over and if you got questions about him the feds -- -- command intervene -- this person was worth.

Holding they would do that -- -- based on the rule only if they are recent border cross.

Crossing.

Or if they're wanted for a -- The feds get involved correct.

That's correct bill in fact that this administration has already Eric hall is already said that he's not gonna enforce federal law in many areas.

We saw that with the defense of marriage act we've -- -- that with these immigration laws.

We see that over and over again and then this this attorney general has created this.

Fast and furious.

Do Bob -- of their -- for him home.

And and it's all about -- in the ditch -- matter there policies have failed and it's all about presidential politics so that they can stay in power well you mentioned your home state of Georgia you're trying to push a similar law right.

We did and right now that's tied up in the courts how is it different from Arizona -- is that at all sir.

Well it's a little different but basically the Georgia law says that we will.

Check the immigration status of people when the police pull them over and have the the question about their immigration status we've had to actually Ford administrations.

Who have not wanted to enforce the federal law we've got to secure the borders we have to enforce the law.

And it is absolutely critical as -- -- it's a security issue it's a national security issue.

And this administration has failed just one more question do you think you're law lives or dies based on this -- It spewed out in you do there's -- well in Georgia liver died based on what you heard from the court this week.

Well I'm very concerned about it I hope that list because is is effective.

Georgia's just behind Arizona with the illegal alien population and we have to start.

Enforcing the law we need to do what is absolutely critical for the security this nation.

That is the number one function the federal government under the original intent of the constitution which I believe it.

And our government is failing in this administration is failing Paul Brown thank you -- -- -- -- -- thank you for your time.
