Immigration reform or else... er, umm... we'll give up part of Arizona!created 6/21/2010 - 12:21 pm by Chris |
Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) addressed the audience at a North Tempe town hall meeting and shared a conversation he had with President Obama. In that meeting he was told by the president:
“The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”
He goes on to say that the Administration is holding border security hostage. They don't want to lock down the border unless it goes hand-in-hand with their concept of immigration reform, which in turn adds up to an expanding voter base to keep them in control.

Alternatively, they could just decide to give up altogether. As you will hear in this video, Sheriff Paul Babeu says rather than taking control of the situation, government agencies have opted to keep U.S. citizens out of a stretch of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge citing armed human and drug trafficers. They know about the problem, publicly acknowlege it, and, rather than enforcing the law, choose to turn over the area to the bad guys. Awesome job!
