Go to the Senator's web page and click on the immigration tab. Nothing comes up. His former positions on immigration are now lost in the electronic mist. Administrator, please move this if it is in the wrong category.

Ultimately, nothing is lost on the internet. You can use cached pages to find out what was said. Something will probably show up through the Wayback Machine, or even if you google it a cached page might be offered.

Methinks that Kyl may be buttered toast here in Az.

Republicans have five more years to contemplate their vote for yet another turncoat.

I hoped his treasonous butt is cooked like an overdone taco.

Once Upon A Time there was a Senator named Jon Kyl....
Part 1. Judas Kyl & his ‘Thirty Pieces of Silver’
Once upon a time in Arizona, there was a US Senator named Jon Kyl. He began his career as a lawyer, became president of the AZ Chamber of Commerce and eventually became AZ Republican Party Chair, ran for Congress and ultimately for the US Senate. He loved the power of being a US Senator, but there was something missing. Rather than having to run for re-election periodically trying to convince voters not to hold him accountable for his voting record, he really wanted to be a judge. Not just a county or state judge, but a federal judge with a lifetime appointment regardless of the outrageous decisions he might deliver or how blatantly he pandered to special interests or powerful politicians.

There are rumors that Senator Kyl has a price. His 20 pieces of silver are a lifetime federal judicial appointment.

Someone in AZ with the resources needs to start looking at this clown. Gotta be a “live boy or a dead girl” in his past.

[DAnconia2007]

Ah. I see you’re ahead of me.

So . . . which was it . . .

Did the globalist/socialist/communist puppet master goons pay him a visit?

or

Did Shrillery’s goons pay him a visit?

or both?

[Ben Ficklin]

I didn't have any problem finding it.

Go to Kyl's page, then to "Legislative Center", then to "Border and Immigration Issues".

[Post-Neolithic]

This is what his webpage in 2006 used to say,

Turning a blind eye to illegal immigration, or sanctioning such behavior, undermines the rule of law in our country. It mocks those who wait patiently, sometimes for years, to enter the U.S. through legal channels. It encourages more people to immigrate illegally with the expectation that they, too, might benefit from some future amnesty. Any reform of our nation's immigration laws should be careful to avoid amnesty by any name.

360 degrees from where he stands now. Notice the Amnesty by any other name then? Sounds like he said what the voters wanted to hear before the election, then after, he decided to reneg on it. Typical politician lies. The previous section was completely removed from his current webpage.

[Cicero]

Senator Kyl’s job appears to have been to provide cover for the Bush administration through a kind of good-cop bad-cop routine.

He was supposedly in charge of making sure the amnesty bill had all the right things in it to keep it from being a Democrat giveaway.

But the dirty little secret is that none of those provisions means a damned thing, because none of them will be enforced, any more than the current laws are being enforced.

Can’t go back to Mexico? OK, you have a hardship excuse. Can’t pay the fees? OK, the government will excuse you from them on grounds of hardship. Can’t be bothered to fill out the paperwork? OK, we’ll let you slip through just the way you do now. You’re using stolen IDs? Oh, well, that’s perfectly understandable. Can’t speak English? Well, we’ll just translate everything for you.

In other words, Kyl is the figurehead for making sure the conservatives get all their provisions in the bill. The trouble is, none of those provisions means a damned thing.

[BurtSB]

We are screwed. The fact that Reid allowed Tester, Webb, and Baucus to openly come out against the amnesty bill means only one thing , Reid has enough votes to pass this mess. Flood the phone lines all week .

180 degrees.

Slept through geometry, eh?!

[Post-Neolithic]

"180 degrees. Slept through geometry, eh?!

Heh, no just using an old saying that means a complete turn around from the original. Don't ever remember 180 degrees being used as a saying but there is lots I haven't heard yet :)

[Regulator]

You should make a thread out of that Fedobserver story.

If the motivation behind Kyl's treachery becomes widely known in Arizona, it may cause him enough grief that he slows down or reverses course.

I haven't read through the whole thing, but one point does come to mind: he has a 6 year term and he's only in year 1. Bush will be long gone when his term is up, and I don't see him resigning his Senate seat before it's up.

[Badeye]

I don’t know enough about Kyl to say one way or the other.
