Sarah Palin: 'We're all Arizonans now'

*
Sarah Palin appeared with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer at a brief news conference in Phoenix Saturday and called on Americans to declare "we're all Arizonans now" and to urge President Obama to secure the nation's borders:

Gov. Palin said there is "a great deal of misinformation" about Arizona's law and said urged Americans to "come visit Arizona" to show support for the state and its governor on illegal immigration.

The event also launched a Web site, Secure The Border, which Governor Brewer said was an effort to educate America about border security.

A majority of Americans support Arizona's immigration law, according to polls conducted recently by Pew Research, Rasmussen Reports and McClatchy-Ipsos. But the media and the left are determined to punish Arizona and its governor for taking this courageous stand.

Gov. Palin is in Phoenix for a scheduled speech to the Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife Heritage Banquet.
