WASHINGTON The White House on Monday disputed a Republican senator's claim that President Barack Obama refuses to secure the Mexican border until Congress agrees to a wide-ranging overhaul of immigration laws.
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona told a Tea Party gathering in North Phoenix, Ariz., on Friday of his recent private meeting with Obama in the Oval Office. Kyl, the Senate's second-ranking GOP leader, said he pressed Obama to secure the border against illegal immigrants.
Kyl told the group: "The problem is, he said, 'If we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.'"
"They want to get something in return for doing their duty," Kyl told the group.

No!!
Over / under on Kyl retracting or backpedalling within a week.
he has lied about everything...give him his virgins!
Sure took them long enough. He said this on the 18th, and StandWithArizona.com and others made this viral on Saturday night! It took them 48 hours to respond?
Looks like Obozo may have another trick up his sleeve. Chuck Grassley and several others sent a letter to the white house asking about it. It sounds like all illegals will be considered tried, convicted, and paroled without ever seeing a courtroom.
Yeah, sure I believe the current regime. Wanna buy a bridge?
God in Heaven!!
Obama uses an Executive Order granting blanket amnesty to ALL illegal aliens, it will cause massive civil disobedience on the part of many otherwise law-abiding citizens.
Lowball numbers of illegals is 12 million; highball numbers are around 30 million. And we are still allowing adult age immigrants into this nation while unemployment is creeping up to 20%!
This guy in the White House is really trying to bring on violence, isn’t he? Guess he feels the necessity for declaring martial law and suspending Congress like, right now!!
The crazy thing is that this plan as I understand it would rightly consider the illegals to be criminals, convict them as such, and then grant them parole as a form of amnesty.
I don't think he'll cave. He would lose everything in the GOP and the conservative movement that's afoot.
The main thing to keep our eyes on is that word, “amnesty”.
Obama wants them to be citizens and voting by fall this year.
what do you expect from a thug from Shitcago? there is no such thing as an absolute truth with a shitcago politician. Jyl is more believable than the so caled harvard educated idiot
"securing the border will require a comprehensive solution to our broken immigration system" is effectively the same as saying:
without amnesty ("comprehensive immigration reform") we will not secure the border.
They are saying the same thing. It's just DemonRat doublespeak.
Let’s see! Kyl or Bowrama? Who should I believe? Well, Bowrama’s lied about nearly everything, so he has a track record. In that case, I believe Kyl!
They had to make sure all the principal players had their lies aligned.
I'd guess there's NO CHANCE that Kyl will withdraw or modify his comments. He is as straight a shooter as there is in the Senate, and let's remember: he's arguing with the most corrupt Administration we've ever seen -- and that's no exaggeration.
I rest my case.
Just buying time.
The writing is on the wall. Zero will never go back. Libtards will never go back.
The lawyer bagdad bob screaming legacy trudges on its nazi path.
In other words, "The Chicago Way."
Every rat together with McCain , Graham and their ilk have been saying this for about three years . Every time they are asked about securing the border the word "comprehensive" comes out of their sickening pie holes.
