Senator Kyl Says: Border Will Not Secured Unless In Conjunction With Amnesty

On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, "The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support 'comprehensive immigration reform.'" [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, "In other words, they're holding it hostage. They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with 'comprehensive immigration reform.'"


Sen. Kyl also said he reminded President Obama that the President and the Congress has an obligation, a duty, to secure the border.

Just because in the 80's and 90's Republicans changed immigration laws to make it nearly impossible to "legally" immigrate does not change the tide of people who come here just to make a better life for their families.

The people who are willing to pack up and trek thousands of miles through many harsh obstacles are the cream of the crop--the most industrious, hardest working, most entrepreneurial people from their towns. Reform is not Amnesty or any American dream. let them conquer it !

"Today senator Kyl tells us that the comments were "taken a bit out of context," and that the "they" he was referring to was the Left, "the president's base," and not the President or his administration."

Man the Republicans are Hypocrites and LAIRS as usual!
