President Barack Obama and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer have had their differences, especially over the issue of immigration and Brewer’s push to pass SB 1070 last month. Well, after Thursday’s encounter between the two leaders at the White House, many of those differences still stand. But Brewer says she expects the communication between the White House and her administration to improve following the meeting, so at least they can enjoy “much better dialogue” now about their issues with each other’s policy positions.

Brewer, who recently signed a controversial law requiring Arizona police to check the status of people they lawfully stop and suspect are illegal immigrants, wants more federal resources — including troops, helicopters, drones and fences — devoted to controlling her state’s border with Mexico.
