Jon Kyl tells of Obama holding US security hostage


Via YouTube:

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 won't have any reason to support 'comprehensive immigration reform.'"

The White House denied this was true, but it appears Obama is carrying through with his implied threat. DHS is reducing the 1000 National Guard on the border to 300.

Sen. Jon Kyl: Demos see debt ceiling crisis as "opportunity to impose huge tax increases on American families and small businesses."

Democrats are following the lead of President Obama. He wants to impose a huge tax hike, but Republicans have found their spines and are refusing to cooperate.

(The Hill)- Republicans have tried to work with Democrats to solve the debt crisis, but "behind the scenes" Democrats insisted on huge tax increases, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz) said Saturday.

"Unfortunately, after weeks of negotiations, it became clear that Democrats in Washington did not view this crisis as an opportunity to rein in spending," Kyl said in the GOP's weekly address. "Instead, they saw it as an opportunity to impose huge tax increases on American families and small businesses."
