Jan Brewer, the former Republican governor of Arizona, endorsed Donald Trump for president Saturday afternoon.
It follows endorsements by Chris Christie, New Jersey's governor, and Paul LePage, Maine's governor.
Brewer cited Trump's pledge to secure the Mexican border:
"For years I pleaded with the federal government to do their job and secure our border. Today, we can elect a President who will do just that - Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump will secure our borders, defend our workers and protect our sovereignty. Mr. Trump will stand for our law enforcement, our police and our immigration officers. Mr. Trump will actually enforce the rule of law.
She added that as Arizona governor, she has witnessed the, "heartache, loss and suffering caused by illegal immigration. I’ve seen communities destroyed by the drugs, gangs, drop houses and cartels. The cost of health care, education and incarceration for illegal immigrants places a crushing burden on taxpayers. Workers of all backgrounds are deprived of jobs and income from our open, bleeding border."
