Kyl, of course, had a small spat with the White House last week over comments he made at a town-hall meeting. Kyl, responding to a voters question, detailed a recent one-on-one conversation he had with the president. They are holding [border security] hostage over hopes for comprehensive immigration reform, Kyl said at the forum.Kyl: Obama Did Not Consult on Border Funds
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 presidents base, and not the administration. I did not try to start a fight. This meeting happened a month ago and we were talking in the context of his political problems. He was talking about how they think that if we secure the border, you guys [Republicans] wont have the incentive to work on comprehensive immigration reform.
Thanks
