Jan Brewer: Trump's Sanctuary City Proposal Is a 'Great Plan'

Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer praised President Donald Trump's proposal to stick illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities.

Brewer's comments came in a Monday tweet.

She wrote: 

"When I was Governor, illegal aliens cost AZ taxpayers $1.6 billion/yr in education, healthcare, and incarceration costs. So, why do we continue to bear these costs when sanctuary cities encourage illegal immigration? Great plan by @realDonaldTrump to utilize those cities!"

Trump had tweeted:

"Those Illegal Immigrants who can no longer be legally held (Congress must fix the laws and loopholes) will be, subject to Homeland Security, given to Sanctuary Cities and States!"
