Here’s what Senator Kyl said on Laura’s show this morning:
INGRAHAM: “Will the GOP minority in the Senate, Senator Kyl, filibuster the
president if he agrees with a broad coalition of Democrats and pro-illegal
immigration Republicans on pushing temporary workers and a path to
citizenship? Can you see that happening?”
KYL: “I would certainly hope that the majority of Republicans in the Senate
would not be complicit in passing legislation that is not wise, that for
example, would put everybody on a path to citizenship and say that temporary
workers get to get U.S. citizenship, and so on. I would certainly hope that
we would have the 40 votes to be able to stop that, but, I don’t know, we’re
going to have to wait and see; it’ll be very close.”
INGRAHAM: “I would guess then that’s a yes; a filibuster would be in order
if it was necessary.”
KYL: “It would be in order. My only question is whether we’ve got the
votes to do it. Clearly a majority of the Republicans in the Senate don’t
want that kind of legislation, but whether we’ve got 40 votes, I’m just not
sure.”
Here’s the audio.
