Someone is lying.

Arizona Senator Kyl

I met with the president in the Oval Office, just the two of us. I kicked the rest of the people out. ... And we had a discussion ... Here's what the president said: The problem is, he said, if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform. 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.

Now, I explained, you and I, Mr. President, have an obligation to secure the border. That's an obligation. It also has some potentially positive benefits. You don't have to have comprehensive reform to secure the border, but you have to secure the border to get comprehensive reform. I said you'd be surprised. Maybe you don't think that there wouldn't be any more incentive for comprehensive reform, but I'm not so sure that that's true. In any event, it doesn't matter. We're supposed to secure the border. That's why it isn't being done. They frankly don't want to do it. They want to get something in return for doing their duty.

The White house:

"The president didn't say that and Senator Kyl knows it. 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."

Side fact

The Obama administration has doubled agents assigned to the Border Enforcement Security Task Forces and tripled the number of intelligence analysts along the southwest border.

I don't know what it is about politicians man.  Why is being right superseding serving the people?  Or is it something I'm missing?

The thing is Kyl has made similar claims in the past.  He is a word twister
Last year

Kyl claimed Obama had said, "If you disagree with us, we're going to call you out."  September 9, 2009

Obama actually said: "If you misrepresent what's in the [health care reform] plan, we will call you out."

ahh well Kyl now has backed off.  He says the comments were "taken a bit out of context," and that the "they" he was referring to was the Left, "the president's base," and not the administration
