Senator: Obama Told Me Pass Amnesty or I’ll Leave the Borders Open.
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
A look back: Former Senator Jon Kyl related to constituents what Obama told him about "comprehensive immigration reform"
“The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’” [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, “In other words, they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”

Obama didn't stay passive.
When he told us he was going to use his pen and phone I don't think people had any idea.
Obama and Holder make me want to vomit.
These border states should ignore Holder and Obama & they should get busy building walls fences and jails. If it is already authorized - do it. Just do it. Enough talk. Enough visits. Enough study. Build it and then invoice the feds.
Crazy!
If Obama can do anything without congress - what should stop the rest of us from doing it all without Obama and his corrupt DOJ lackey - Holder?
Holder would take the governors to court. The border is a federal responsibility.
If the laws are on the books and the authorization stands, then Holder and Obama are obstructing justice.
That's why I think the law suit Boehner is concocting should go forward.
As far as I can see, the only salvageable out of this mess is to get it on the record.
Force Obama to explain to a court what he is doing.
I agree, Lem.
And while I am usually a Boehner ankle biter, I agree with the lawsuit.
Obama and Holder swore an oath to uphold the constitution and the laws of our land.
Congressman Louie Gohmert 6m
#Obama has deported 38 ppl. That brings the odds of illegally getting to stay in US down from 100% to 99.999952%. They'll scare 'em.
The only civil cure is to get through the summer and support new House and Senate opposition to Obama and Holder's planned "permanent majority."
Congressman Louie Gohmert 6m...lol
Contempt for the law can be practiced on an individual level, once it is condoned and practiced by the top.
This country is gonna need a shitload of cameras.
They have not made an acceptable case for immigration reform, for wide open borders, for amnesty.
The entire ruling class is derelict in their duty to American sovereignty, to their oath of office.
They're playing the entire population of the United States for chumps, because we are chumps in allowing this.
The law is in their own hands and yet they completely jack with it and expect all to just go along while we observe with our own eyes the end result desired by Congress, House and Senate, and the Executive branch, and foreign leadership and foreign citizenship. Together they are waging straight up war with the entire population and getting away with it.
This is a proper invasion.
We've dealt with large influx before, but legally, properly.
There is no difference between what Hamas is doing and what Central America is doing, by using children and women as human shields while their armaments and their soldiers are protected in bomb shelters, simultaneously holding Israel responsible for civilian deaths gaining sympathetic support in Europe and in the United States + Canada and elsewhere and succeeding at all that, and our political classes along with Central American political classes and their populations are pulling with us by using children and women waging a straight up invasion assured they will not be shot, in fact, welcomed and ushered along and dispersed deeply within the homeland with no chance of being expelled. Then all the concomitant right to vote, lived here a decade, contribution to society that ineluctably follows, their entire families, etc., etc.
A swat team descended upon Elian Gonzales to return to a despicable hellhole after his mother died risking sharks and drowning to get him here for a better life, because its sooooo important for families to stay together. My, how fleeting and evanescent our moral lights when challenged by perceived immediate need.
I'm not that goddamn flexible.
As if this were not a repeat of what was lived already, except being so successful, now full blast, X10, X100, X1000.
Jon Kyl walks back White House border story:
Kyl is standing by his account of the immigration encounter, saying he has been misinterpreted all along. "People misinterpreted what I meant by it, but what I said was accurate," Kyl told Fox News. "People read into what I said, something that I didn't say ... I regret that it was misinterpreted."

Earlier this week, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) caused a stir when he was quoted saying that President Obama personally told him the administration will not support stricter border enforcement until Republicans back broad immigration reform. The White House denied the claim. Now Kyl is saying that's not what he meant.
Kyl was quoted: "The president said the problem is if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform. In other words, they're holding it hostage."
In an interview with National Review, Kyl explained:
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 president's 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] won't have the incentive to work on comprehensive immigration reform."
At the time, a spokesman for Kyl forcefully defended the story.
"There were two people in that meeting, and [White House spokesperson] Dan Pfieffer was not one of them," Patmintra said. "Senator Kyl stands by his remarks, and the White House spokesman's pushback that you must have comprehensive immigration reform to secure the border only confirms Senator Kyl's account."
Not much of a walk back. I think the media are attempting to walk it back. Hurts the narrative.
"Senator Kyl stands by his remarks, and the White House spokesman's pushback that you must have comprehensive immigration reform to secure the border only confirms Senator Kyl's account."
What they want is 30 million slaves.
And all the dead kids registered to vote.

Holder would take the governors to court. The border is a federal responsibility.
But borders are a line around a state. One inch inside the border is the purview of the states' governments. Some governors are doing the right thing. It will probably be an internal, midwestern governor who will stand against he who rules by decree and fear.
