The problem is, he said, if we secure the border, then you all won\u2019t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform. In other words, they\u2019re holding it hostage. They don\u2019t want to secure the border unless and until it combined with comprehensive immigration reform.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Kyl is claiming that the White House told him that if we secure the border, then you Republicans, you won\u2019t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform because securing the borders will fix the problem. And of course comprehensive immigration reform is simply the largest get-out-the-vote drive, voter registration drive in the history of the country. It\u2019s called amnesty. Amnesty is the single largest voter registration drive in the history of the country, and that\u2019s what Obama wants. And what he\u2019s essentially telling Kyl is, &#8216;Look, if we secure the border and we keep our potential new voters out, then there\u2019s no reason for comprehensive reform,\u2019 which is the massive registration of all these people. The White House this morning told ABC News that Jon Kyl is lying. &#8216;The President didn\u2019t say that and Senator Kyl knows it,\u2019 said communications director Dan Pfeiffer. &#8216;There are more resources dedicated toward border security today than ever before, but, as the President has made clear, truly securing the border will require a comprehensive solution to our broken immigration system.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"275\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Now, Kyl is maintaining, to a radio station in Iowa maintaining that his account of the overall conversation in the Oval Office is accurate. (paraphrasing) &#8216;What I said occurred did occur. One way you can verify the validity of what I said is that that\u2019s exactly their position. Some spokesman down at the White House said, &#8216;No, that isn\u2019t what happened at all,\u2019 and then proceeded to say we need comprehensive immigration reform to secure the border. That\u2019s their position. And all I was doing was explaining why, from a conversation with the president, why it appears that that\u2019s their position.\u2019 So the White House is accusing Kyl of lying. Kyl is standing his ground on this, saying, &#8216;Look, however they say it, it\u2019s their policy. Securing the border cannot happen until we have comprehensive immigration reform.\u2019 (interruption) Well, it will be interesting to see if the Republicans want Kyl to apologize. That\u2019s a good point. Kyl is standing his ground. The White House is accusing him of lying. Comprehensive immigration reform is nothing more than a massive voter registration drive. A lot of Republicans, as you know, want comprehensive immigration reform \u2019cause they want to have their chance at registering some of these voters to vote for them. So we\u2019ll see. We\u2019ll see how long it takes for some Republican in a leadership position somewhere asking Kyl to apologize. And then we\u2019ll see what Kyl does about this. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the White House &#8212; the deputy press spokesman, a guy name Bill Burton &#8212; just claimed at the press briefing that Jon Kyl lied about his meeting with Obama. You know, I would suggest this to any Republican going to an Oval Office meeting with Obama: Wear a wire or carry a concealed recorder of some kind. Not even just the Oval Office. Any time you going to be talking to Obama, carry a wire. &#8216;The White House spokesman went on to say that Obama had doubled the number of Border Patrol agents on the border,\u2019 which is also not true. There has not been a doubling of the number of agents down there. The number of agents has doubled, but you have to go back to 2004 when it was beefed up by Bush. Obama hasn\u2019t doubled anything at all. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here from ABC News and Jake Tapper: &#8216;White House: Senator Kyl Not Telling Truth About Immigration Reform Conversation &#8212; White House officials challenged the veracity Monday of an account of a private conversation Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said he had with President Obama.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. &#8216;The White House Monday rejected Kyl\u2019s account. &#8216;The President didn\u2019t say that and Senator Kyl knows it,\u2019 White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer told ABC News. &#8216;There are more resources dedicated toward border security today than ever before, but, as the President has made clear, truly securing the border will require a comprehensive solution to our broken immigration system.&#8221; Well, it seems like everybody lies except Obama. Everybody else is lying. Obama never does. You notice how similar they\u2019re treating this to the treatment of the Gulf. Obama won\u2019t plug the hole in the border until he gets what he wants, comprehensive immigration reform. He\u2019s not going to plug the hole in the Gulf until he gets what he wants. So the interesting question now is: How long will it be before Kyl is asked by his own party to apologize for lying about our dear president?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Jon Kyl last Friday in Tempe, Arizona, at the North Tempe tea party town hall meeting, unidentified guy said, &#8216;What\u2019s going on with the US Senate as well as Obama, because it looks like he\u2019s gonna challenge our immigration bill here.\u2019KYL: I met with the president in the Oval Office, just the two of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
