Why President Obama Won’t Secure the Border

On June 18, 2010, Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) told the audience at a 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:

“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.’”

Sen. Kyl also said he reminded President Obama that the President and the Congress has an obligation, a duty, to secure the border.

(Okay, you can stop pretending to be surprised now)

Saturday’s Can’t Miss Event!

Don’t miss this FREE critical workshop run by the nationally renowned charismatic speaker Apostle Claver! Hosted by the Minority Advancement and Research Council (MARC) the “Rhode Island Boot Camp” is an intense four-hour workshop that employs aggressive grassroots organizing, mass media messaging, and political action techniques to help expand the conservative base through diversity – racial, generational, and gender.

Texas based Claver Kamau-Imani, Founder and Chairman of RagingElephants.ORG, a non-profit organization created to be an advocate of conservative-libertarian social, economic, and political issues, will be leading the workshop and showing the evidence that the demographics in our country are changing to favor minorities and explains that if we do not start infusing liberty in those communities through educating voters on America’s History and Heritage, we will totally lose our country to socialism.

This is the year to break down all barriers and reach out to all demographic groups to spread the Tea Party’s message of fiscal responsibility and accountability of our elected leaders. WE NEED YOU! This workshop is sponsored in part by The RI Tea Party, RIRA, The Young Republicans, and the RI GOP.
