President Barack Obamas zeal to give illegal immigrants amnesty is holding the nations border security hostage to his political agenda, says GOP Sen. James Inhofe.
As Obama called on Congress to tackle comprehensive immigration reform in a speech Thursday afternoon, Inhofe told Newsmax in an exclusive interview that the president is clearly using border security as a bargaining chip to obtain amnesty for millions of illegal aliens residing in the United States.
That was the same charge made by Inhofes friend and colleague, Arizona GOP Sen. John Kyl, who stirred controversy last week when he revealed a discussion in which Obama told him that taking action to secure the Mexican border would remove the incentive for comprehensive immigration reform. The White House has denied Kyls allegation.
Inhofe told Newsmax that he has total faith in Kyls assertion because he has never told a lie in the almost 25 years he has known him.
Consequently, he places more confidence in Kyls credibility than that of the White House.

Hey, Zero is tanking! He needs tha votes! /s
Isn’t it time for the Congress clowns to take their long summer vacation?
Not buying this trade: border security for amnesty. This would end up the same as Ronaldus Maximus making a deal with Congress for $3 of spending cuts for every dollar of tax increase. He got the tax increase, the spending cuts, of course, never happened, but spending increases did.
Illegals need to go and never come back. We need a serious border - patrols, fences, mine fields, air/sea coverage, etc
Jim Inhofe....Conservatism’s best kept secret!
