On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Phoenix 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 wont have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform. [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, In other words, theyre holding it hostage. They dont want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with comprehensive immigration reform.

This administration is evil.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
We’ve got some reform for you mothers.
Governor Rick Perry complained about this same problem with the Obama Regime. Perry believes that you should secure the border first, then discuss immigration reform.
Chicago thug politics.
We got that crappy deal from Reagan, the country won’t survive another one.
Sounds curiously like former Illinois Governor Blago...
The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all wont have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.
If that ain’t a high crime, nothing is.
Lots of people want that cheap labor here, driving down everyone’s wages. I don’t know just what needs to be done about these traitors.
Sen. Kyl continued, In other words, theyre holding it hostage. They dont want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with comprehensive immigration reform.
"The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." - Ted Kennedy, 1965 "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this." - Ted Kennedy, 1986 "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system." - Ted Kennedy, 2007And they just keep on lying...
Plausible, but still BS.
HE NEEDS THE (BLEEPING) VOTES OF THE DEAR MEHHICCANS.
Thassit.
Arizona thread?
As always...FUJM.
Illegal immigration is THE KEY to the perpetuation of the status quo in DC......
You CANNOT..in 2012...run ANY political campaign that is ambiguous about your immigration position in the current job market.
Unemployed Americans are looking for assurances of their governments concern about THEIR plight...not that of businesses forced into looking for disposable labor because of onerous tax and regulatory policy.
Illegal Labor is the Feds out for preserving the status quo regarding Taxes and Regulation...and is the ultimate litmus test as to the candidates in question commitment to meaningful regulatory and tax reform. If they are wishy-washy on the subject...they have no real intent to disturb the DC status quo...no matter how big their cowboy hat and six-gun.
Curious strategy, as it sure as hell is not going to be helping Democrats next fall
This administration is evil.
It certainly is.
