RUSH: Before we get to the actual immigration story from yesterday<\/a>, here\u2019s a sound bite from last night on Fox News Channel, the Special Report with Bret Baier. He interviewed the US Chamber of Commerce president, Thomas J. Donohue, and this will tell you everything you need to know about what the Republican Party is doing and why when it comes to amnesty. Bret Baier said, “The Chamber, according to some bullet points I received, is going to be active this election cycle and specifically on the issue of immigration reform.”<\/p>\n

DONOHUE: We\u2019ve got to do this immigration thing! Demographics are destiny. We need those workers. We need seasoned workers. We need the workers at the top end. We\u2019ve made the deal in the Senate. How did we do it? Labor and management came together. Labor and business came together and supported the program. I think Speaker Boehner and his colleagues, they\u2019re moving forward in a positive way. They\u2019re taking a little different route, but they\u2019re passing and moving forward with small parts of this, and they\u2019re gonna put it together and we\u2019re gonna get a bill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Chamber of Commerce (i.e., representing American business interests) wants the workers. “We got to do this immigration thing. Demographics are destiny! We need those workers. We need seasonal workers. We need the workers at the top end. We want those workers.” <\/line>These are the money people. Chamber of Commerce members are often major donors to the Republican Party. They want immigration reform. They want amnesty.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

The Republican leadership knows that their base doesn\u2019t want amnesty. So they\u2019re working on some things to get this done that would provide the workers but would not necessarily be amnesty. One of the things that is being talked about at the leadership level in the House is granting legal status to everybody that\u2019s here illegally without citizenship. We\u2019re not gonna make them citizens ,but we\u2019re gonna give them (essentially) green cards. We are going to legalize them for work.<\/p>\n

This is the first step, by the way.<\/p>\n

Now, the Republican strategy for all of their immigration reform proposals — the entire plan, their strategery — is to wait until the filing deadline has passed to protect moderate incumbents. They are scared to death of Tea Party primary challenges, so the strategery here is to hold off on anything until after the filing deadline. Don\u2019t announce anything. Don\u2019t make it official. I mean, some things are leaking out and it\u2019s becoming known what they want to do. But nothing official.<\/p>\n

No legislation actually will be advanced until after the filing deadline, and this is being done to protect incumbents — and to that you are incumbents, they can vote for immigration reform without fear of a challenge from the Tea Party or the Republican base. Now, this data is contained in an AP story<\/a>, which starts this way. “His agenda tattered by last year\u2019s confrontations and missteps, President Obama begins 2014 clinging to the hope of winning a lasting legislative achievement: an overhaul of immigration laws.<\/p>\n

“It will require a deft and careful use of his powers, combining a public campaign in the face of protests over his administration\u2019s record number of deportations with quiet, behind-the-scenes outreach to Congress, something seen by lawmakers and immigration advocates as a major White House weakness. In recent weeks, both Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), have sent signals that raised expectations among overhaul supporters that 2014 could still yield the first comprehensive change in immigration laws in nearly three decades.<\/p>\n

“If successful, it would fulfill an Obama promise many Latinos say is long overdue. … Boehner, for his part, in December hired Rebecca Tallent, a former top aide to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), and most recently the director of a bipartisan think tank\u2019s immigration task force. Even opponents of a broad immigration overhaul saw Tallent\u2019s selection as a sign legislation had suddenly become more likely. Boehner also fed speculation he would ignore Tea Party pressure, bluntly brushing back their criticism of December\u2019s modest budget agreement. … If successful, an immigration compromise could restore some luster to Obama\u2019s agenda…”<\/p>\n

Now, there are more details to this, but unfortunately it\u2019s time for an obscene profit break. Sit tight. Back with more.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: It wasn\u2019t that long ago — certainly within the last year and a half — that I, in an almost facetious way, said, “You know what? If you want to grant \u2019em amnesty, do it. You just say they can\u2019t vote for 25 years.” I said, “Let\u2019s see how many people support that,” \u2019cause the point of amnesty is replacing upwardly mobile members of the Democrat permanent underclass. The Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass of dependent people voting for them for never-ending entitlement benefits.<\/p>\n

As people in a normal American economy are upwardly mobile and escape the lower quintiles of income level and start doing better as they get older — which used to happen before Obama, by the way — then the Democrat Party underclass had to be replaced. As people were upwardly mobile for the economy, becoming more prosperous, they became less dependent on government, and the Democrats needed a replacement. Well, that\u2019s what amnesty is.<\/p>\n

Amnesty. Talk “undocumented aliens,” “undocumented immigrants.” It\u2019s unregistered Democrats, is the way it\u2019s looked at — and to a certain extent, some of the Republican Party think that, yeah, we can get some of those voters, too! If we let them know we like them, if we let them know we love them — if we let the Hispanics know that we\u2019re not racist or sexist or whatever it is, that we don\u2019t want them thinking that of us — we can get their votes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>So they are joining the Democrats \u2019cause the Chamber of Commerce wants these workers and it\u2019s heavy Republican donors. So both parties are making a move on this. Now, what\u2019s interesting is that the Republican Party plan that is being talked about behind closed doors would not grant citizenship. It would grant legal status and leave the question of citizenship out of the legislation. In other words, they can work but they cannot vote. That\u2019s part one.<\/p>\n

Part two is, a House Republican retreat later this month could help Republican leaders devise a strategery. Some Republicans and Democrats say that John Boehner could wait until after the filing deadlines for 2014 primary elections before announcing any of this. That would protect some incumbents from Tea Party challenges or other conservative challenges in the primaries, and that would mean — if they do that, if they wait \u2019til after the filing deadline — nothing happens on this until April.<\/p>\n

So the strategery here on the Republican side basically has two elements: Don\u2019t do anything until April \u2019til after the filing deadline so that the Tea Party is not ginned up and trying to primary some of these people that would otherwise vote for this. The second thing is, to tell us not to worry, that this isn\u2019t amnesty. “We\u2019re gonna make \u2019em legal but we\u2019re not gonna grant \u2019em citizenship. They\u2019re not gonna be able to vote. So you don\u2019t have any problem with this, folks.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no amnesty. They\u2019re not gonna be able to vote. But we need the workers, and we need to reach out to the Hispanic community. We need show we don\u2019t hate \u2019em and demographics are demographics and yada yada,” whatever they say. Now, anybody thinking straight about this has got to understand what is going to happen. Let\u2019s say this happens exactly as it\u2019s being drawn up. Let\u2019s say that all we get between now and April is a bunch of rumors and a bunch of leaks like this, but nothing really happens.<\/p>\n

Then, after the filing deadline is over, the Republicans put forth their bill, and it contains everything that the story says it\u2019s gonna have. It will grant legal status, but they can\u2019t vote. No citizenship, but they\u2019re gonna be able to work — and everybody does a sigh of relief and says, “Well, it\u2019s not the best, but we can live with it.” Not that you would say that. I\u2019m saying that inside the Beltway, they will think they\u2019re on to something here.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s say, just for the sake of discussion here, that all of this happens and that actually passes, and the Senate comes up with something similar, and what they pass is full legal status. No citizenship. They can\u2019t vote. How long (maybe, how many days) after the November election will it take for somebody like Chuck Schumer to find a microphone and camera and talk about how unfair this is? “What were we thinking?” he will say.<\/line><\/p>\n

“We got hoodwinked by these Republicans who are still hell-bent on keeping these people out of this country! They really don\u2019t want \u2019em here. If they\u2019re not going to grant them citizenship, then they really don\u2019t want \u2019em here. They\u2019re gonna look at these illegals as three-fifths of a person, and we\u2019re back to the days of slavery.” This is what Chuck Schumer will say. “This is unconscionable! How in the world can we do this? How can we welcome them to our country this way?<\/p>\n

“How can we tell them, ‘Go get a job and pay taxes but you\u2019re not a citizen\u2019? What country would do this, what civilized country?” and the move will be on to grant citizenship two days after the election. It\u2019s part of the plan now, I think. Everybody knows this. They don\u2019t think you know it, though. They don\u2019t think you\u2019re gonna be able to figure this out. They think that the way to get this done without any primary challenges is to wait \u2019til April.<\/p>\n

After April announce it, and as long as nobody can vote — \u2019cause what that does is supposedly defeats the theory advanced by people like me that all that\u2019s at work here is getting more Democrat voters. They can say, “No, no! It never has been about that for either party. It\u2019s never been about voters. It\u2019s about humane treatment. It\u2019s about the future of America.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s about the American dream, and these people have been here anyway, and they\u2019ve been here in a long time — and they\u2019ve got kids, and we\u2019re not gonna bust up families, and we\u2019ve got to let \u2019em legally work because it\u2019s not right that they have to stay in the shadows and blah, blah, blah.”<\/p>\n

And, miraculously, after the election, somebody will say, “This is just unconscionable! This is not who we are as Americans! We are going to profit in their labor, and what kind of labor is it? It\u2019s the bottom-of-the-barrel labor. It\u2019s the kind of crap Americans won\u2019t do anymore, and we\u2019re gonna make them do it, and we\u2019re gonna call this a benefit? How inhumane. We\u2019re gonna make them work for dirt and we\u2019re gonna collect taxes but we\u2019re not gonna let \u2019em vote, what has happened to our country?” And the move will be on to grant them citizenship. What\u2019s anybody gonna do at that point?<\/p>\n

Now, the interesting thing is, if I\u2019m right about this, that the establishment leadership in Washington thinks that you\u2019re not gonna be able to figure all this out. I don\u2019t think you need me telling you any of this. When you hear that the current immigration reform plan will not grant citizenship and therefore will not allow them to vote, you are probably — especially you in this audience — are probably clever enough to know that that\u2019s not really what they had in mind. They\u2019re just saying that to appease the extremists in the Tea Party and the conservative base. But nothing\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n

What both parties are really looking for here is voters. The Chamber of Commerce no doubt is looking for cheap labor. The business owners are looking for bodies. They are looking for people to do certain kinds of work for less than what Americans will. But the parties are looking for voters. So the areas of interest, the lines of interest will intersect, but only if they\u2019re allowed to vote. If they are not allowed to vote, then there\u2019s no benefit to the parties. In fact, if they\u2019re granted status but can\u2019t vote and they\u2019re not granted citizenship, there\u2019s gonna be hell to pay from the La Raza crowd, and we\u2019re gonna hear about exploitation. There\u2019s nothing in immigration reform for the political parties if we\u2019re not talking about new voters. Unless I\u2019m missing something.<\/line>Now, how do the parties benefit by saying, “Okay, Hispanics, you\u2019re one half of the way there. Welcome.” What\u2019s that get \u2019em? Well, I know the leadership thinks it would be off the table. We\u2019ll see. We\u2019ll see. I mean, this is what\u2019s effervescing out there, folks.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: To the phones. Steve, Santa Cruz, California, great to have you. You are up first, and hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, this thing with amnesty, it sounds like they\u2019re becoming Democrats and that deception is the rule now. They\u2019re no longer politicians, Rush. They\u2019re becoming criminals. I just can\u2019t keep… I haven\u2019t given \u2019em any money in probably five, six years. I don\u2019t support them. I don\u2019t. I think we need… We don\u2019t need a third party. We need a new second party. What do you think?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re talking about you\u2019re upset at the Republicans here for being, as you say, criminals or engaging in deceit?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, and this deal about not wanting us to primary them and deceiving us —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait just a second. Wait just a second. Let me just throw something else out here. This is an AP story. It is an AP story, and we know that the Associated Press is all about the advancement of the Democrat Party agenda. So what if what\u2019s in this story isn\u2019t true? What if there is no attempt to wait \u2019til after the filing deadline to move this forward, and what if the Republican idea is not to make them legal but not grant them the right to vote? What if the AP\u2019s just reporting that? If they\u2019re just reporting it and you\u2019re having the reaction you are, they\u2019re succeeding. They\u2019re turning you against the Republican Party. So my question is: Why do you believe it? Why do you believe the AP story?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Because of what I\u2019ve seen in the past. Evidence in the past, what they\u2019ve done in the past, it just makes sense that they would do this. Just the fact that they want to go for amnesty, period.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so you are using your intelligence guided by experience, and you\u2019re saying, “Look, we know they want amnesty. They\u2019ve said it. We know they want to emulate the Democrats. So this story, I can believe it.” That\u2019s basically what you\u2019re saying?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, and I think they\u2019re turning criminal. The art of deception, they\u2019re learning it just like the Democrats, and it\u2019s over. Once they\u2019ve done that, it\u2019s over for the Republicans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, if this story is true… It is the AP. We have to hold some of this in reserve. It is the AP. We\u2019ve gotta factor that. Again, intelligence guided by experience, and Steve here in Santa Cruz is right. We know the Republican Party. We heard Donohue at the Chamber. They want this, and I think all of the establishment is behaving this way. We\u2019re being governed against our will on so many issues.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want Obamacare. We got it.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want this kind of economy, but we\u2019ve got it.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want amnesty, but we\u2019re gonna get it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard certain Republican leaders say very mean things about the Tea Party. So it\u2019s not a stretch to believe this could be true. The problem… Not “the problem.” The sad thing about it is that if it is deception, if it\u2019s true, it is designed to fool us and get everybody to go along. “Oh, okay, no voting and no citizenship? Well, okay, maybe,” and then we know that\u2019s not gonna hold up. That would be the smart bet. Anyway, Steve, I appreciate the call. You must be one of five Republicans in Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, we got confirmation. There\u2019s a Texas political news site called the Quorum Report,<\/a> December 3rd. This AP story is from the last couple of days on immigration. The Quorum Report. “Sources: Boehner Tells Texas Business Interests That Immigration Reform Votes Will Be Held After the Filing Deadlines Have Passed.” From the article: “[V]arious Texas business interests have told Quorum Report that Boehner has been telling them that he will start holding immigration votes not long after the filing deadline has passed.”<\/p>\n

That would make it after April. “This, of course, runs counter to conventional wisdom that says immigration votes in the House will have to wait until 2014.” So I mention this only because I held out the possibility that the AP is the AP. They\u2019re devoted to advancing the Obama agenda. They could have been making it up or taking liberties with it. But here is a source, Quorum Report, a Texas political news site, back on December 3rd, which basically says the same thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
