Jan Brewer: Donald Trump is “Kind of Telling it Like it Really, Truly is.”

Donald Trump has been in the middle of controversy after the comments he made about Mexican immigrants during his announcement for presidential candidacy on June 16th.

Now, the former governor of Arizona is joining in the conversation and sharing her opinion, saying Trump is “kind of telling it like it really, truly is.”

During an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon Wednesday night, she said “being the governor of [Arizona], the gateway of illegal immigration for six years, we had to deal with a lot of things.”

“I think that the people of Arizona realize that we picked up the tab for the majority of the violence that comes across to our border with regards to the drug cartels, the smugglers, the drop houses. It has been horrendous. And, of course, they come through Arizona and therefore, end up in other states and go throughout the country.”

Among other things, the business mogul said he would seal the U.S. – Mexico border and get Mexico to pay for it.

Brewer admitted during the interview, she hasn’t heard everything Trump said during his speech. “I just know what I have lived through, being resident and governor of the State of Arizona. That we have a horrendous problem. And we’ve got an illegal immigration problem in our country. And I think the people overwhelmingly understand and realize that. And we have to find a solution, and that solution is getting our border secured so we can deal with the other issues.”

Brewer’s comments come soon after Trump announced his visit to Phoenix this Saturday, July 11th.  He will be joined by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, where they will be discussing issues surrounding immigration.
