Arizona Senator Kyl Confirms His State is on the Mexico Border

Arizona Senator Jon Kyl has confirmed, Arizona is, in fact, on the border with Mexico. Kyl sent Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy West a letter in which he says, "You will be interested to learn that Arizona does indeed share a border with Mexico. I have enclosed a map for your convenience." Kyl goes on to urge West to, "actually read the Arizona law before forming an opinion about it." West appeared confused about Arizona's location during debate about a measure that would have had the county boycott the state over its controversial new immigration law. She said, "If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border." RELATED CONTENT: Senator Kyl's Letter West did continue to talk about troops on Arizona's border. She later explained that she meant to say Texas had a longer border. "Had Texas come out with the legislation, having the largest border, I think that I would be more receptive to the fact that there was a problem. But having it be Arizona, having it be the second largest boarder and knowing there are troops on the border in Arizona, it didn't seem to me that this legislation was particularly necessary at this moment in time," West told Newsradio 620 WTMJ. The county sent the measure back to a committee.

Meanwhile, the local newspaper features a story on its web site lamenting the loss of smart people to other states. Apparently Milwaukee is a village populated by idiots! All that and Al Franken to boot!

Typical Democrat. Fat, stupid, and undeserving of a vote.



The time for explaining basic things like addition, shapes, and colors to this idiots is over.

I’ve known people (usually female...not to be sexist though) who, due to a lack of spacial understanding, just couldn’t read a map....

As a female mathematician who works with maps everyday (GIS), I can vouch for your statement. My own daughter and others that I know struggle with map-reading everyday.

She thinks that it is terrible that we don’t want anymore eskimos and hottentots coming over the Mexican border from Atlantis and Assyria.

The problem today is that immigrants legal or illegal have no sense of pride or love for their adoptive country. They still love and adore their old country (even if that country abused and tortured them) to that of the US. Examples are plain to see when hispanics will always side with mexico on immigration and if the US ever plays a country of their origin be it chinese, japanese, etc you will see in the streets who they support.

It's my understanding that Laz would hit on a snake if someone would hold its head.

She's not only stupid, she'll lie to keep from admitting her stupidity.
