\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Daniel in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Welcome, sir, to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir. I\u2019m a longtime listener and first-time caller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s great to have you here. Thank you much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, thank you. I wanted to tell you: I\u2019m a Border Patrol agent. I work down in Douglas. I wanted to talk about this immigration reform plan that Marco Rubio and several other senators are putting forth today. I\u2019ve been looking over the text, and a lot of it is just the same Washington hackery that you see with every piece of legislation that comes out. What I told your call screener was, “I feel that compromising on the fiscal deal by essentially promising the spending cuts later, is the same thing as giving amnesty to illegal aliens and then promising a secure border.” I just don\u2019t think that it\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me tell you what I heard and what I read. I forget where, but it was a blog post this morning. A Democrat on this blog post admitted that the whole notion of border security has been added to this immigration bill simply to give the Republicans a talking point; that the Democrats are not serious about it. So your instincts on this are right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t want any the border control. Democrats want all these new voters — and so do the Republicans, in one degree or another.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They really do. Rush, I\u2019m a graduate student at the University of Arizona. My emphasis is in security studies. I\u2019ve done, on my own initiative, interviews with a lot of these aliens. The majority don\u2019t want to be here. They don\u2019t want to live here. They want to come and work and then go back home. These are the same talking points that Republicans have been putting forth for years. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tried it, and it didn\u2019t work. It\u2019s the same exact thing that\u2019s gonna happen now, and it\u2019s unfortunate to see our senators and representatives pushing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s what I just said: “Gun control” is not about guns, “health care” is not about health care, and “immigration” is not about immigration. And, by the way, I don\u2019t say this lightly, and it\u2019s not easy to say. Do you realize the easy thing would be to just say, “You know what, folks? There\u2019s nothing we can do. We may as well go ahead here and acquiesce and try to secure the bored and move forward.” That would be the easy thing to do. But what\u2019s being talked about here is not really immigration. On the Republican side, after the election when Romney lost, it didn\u2019t take long — a matter of days — for the Republican consultancy class to start saying, “Well, we lost because the Hispanics hate us.<\/p>\n

“We lost because of our position on amnesty and immigration. We lost because women hate us, \u2019cause we\u2019re too cold-hearted when it comes to abortion,” and this kind of thing. So there\u2019s a defensiveness here that is propelling a lot of people. Not every Republican, but there\u2019s a defensiveness that\u2019s inspiring them all. But I keep falling back on one thing that just doesn\u2019t make sense to me, and maybe somebody can explain it. It\u2019s the Democrats who keep telling us that the reason we\u2019re losing elections and falling short is because we\u2019re just not reaching out to Hispanics enough.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not compassionate enough when it comes to immigration. Too many Hispanics think Republicans don\u2019t like \u2019em and don\u2019t want \u2019em to be here and wanna deport \u2019em. The Democrats tell us this. The Democrats are saying, “You guys are gonna have to moderate your views on this. You\u2019re gonna have to become more like we are.” Now, my problem with this is I just can\u2019t believe it. If the Democrats think that their position on immigration (let\u2019s use that for an example) is the right one, and if the Democrats\u2019 position is what\u2019s getting all of that support from Hispanic voters, what I don\u2019t understand is why would the Democrats want to give up some of those voters to the Republicans?<\/p>\n

Can somebody help me out here?<\/p>\n

What strikes me is something similar to the often-heard media and Democrat charge, “You better not criticize Obama! You guys, you\u2019re just gonna scare the independents and they\u2019re gonna be running right back to Democrats, \u2019cause they don\u2019t like all this partisanship, and they don\u2019t like this bickering.” Meanwhile, the most partisan people around are the Democrats! The most loud, argumentative, mean-spirited people around are the Democrats. Yet when they\u2019re loud, mean-spirited, argumentative, and partisan, somehow that doesn\u2019t bother the independents. They have no problem with it. But when the Republicans ostensibly get that way, then the independents say, “Screw you, guys! I don\u2019t want any part of you.”<\/p>\n

Well, I think it\u2019s all a trick that\u2019s worked, the purpose of which is to get the Republicans to shut up and to not criticize Obama. Now the idea that the Democrats are trying to help us get some of the Hispanic vote? I just don\u2019t see that. I don\u2019t see anywhere else in the political spectrum where the Democrats want to share their voters with us. I don\u2019t see it. They don\u2019t want us to have any more women voters than they do. So the idea that we\u2019ve got to compromise by acknowledging that we\u2019re wrong and agreeing with them on immigration in order to increase support from the Hispanic population doesn\u2019t compute with me. It doesn\u2019t make sense. In fact, it\u2019s just the opposite. Daniel, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, first off on immigration, this is a story from a very excited (I would have to say cheering) Associated Press. “Senators Reach Deal on Immigration Changes.” Now, a previous caller… I\u2019ll mention this again. We\u2019ve done this before. We\u2019ve done amnesty before. It was called Simpson-Mazzoli, and it was during the Reagan years. It was 1986. Reagan was not in favor of it, but he bought into it. They promised him, “If we do this once, that will be the end of it. Once we grant amnesty, that\u2019s it. No more of this illegal immigration stuff.”<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking about 1.1 to 1.3 million illegals back then. That\u2019s what the haggle was over, 1.3 million illegals. Ted Kennedy went to the floor of the Senate in 1986. He said, “This amnesty will have been citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We\u2019ll secure the borders hence forth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” That\u2019s 1986, Ted Kennedy, and here we are. This is the fourth year in a row that has been pushed. Well, more than four years. Go back to the Bush years.<\/p>\n

In fact, this immigration bill that everybody\u2019s touting on TV today is essentially the Bush immigration bill that was beat back in 2007. There might be a little change here, a little change there. The story from the ecstatic AP: “A bipartisan group of leading senators has reached agreement on the principles of sweeping legislation to rewrite the nation\u2019s immigration laws. The deal, which was to be announced at a news conference Monday afternoon, covers border security, guest workers and employer verification, as well as a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants already in this country.”<\/p>\n

What do you bet that…? In fact, here they go now. There they are. The press conference to announce this is occurring right now. We\u2019re not gonna JIP it \u2019cause all eight of them will speak. We\u2019ll get the highlights and maybe have some today, but certainly tomorrow. Chuck-U Schumer is taking the lead here. But the odds are that if this thing ever sees the light of day, if this comes to pass, then we\u2019ll hear, “You know what? Maybe it actually wasn\u2019t 11 million. It\u2019s like 20 million illegals that we\u2019re talking about.”<\/p>\n

From TheHill.com we have a random act of journalism: “Comprehensive immigration reform could make millions of people suddenly eligible for assistance under President Obama[care], assuming a final deal paves the way for undocumented immigrants to receive papers. Illegal aliens are now prohibited from purchasing coverage through the [Obamacare]\u2019s insurance exchanges, which will launch next year. … But the picture could change completely if Hispanic lawmakers get their wish — an overhaul of U.S. immigration policy that includes a path to legalization,” or amnesty.<\/p>\n

“The consequences for Obama\u2019s signature healthcare law, as well as healthcare providers, could be huge. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said the legalization of undocumented people would benefit hospitals now burdened by uncompensated care.” Of course it would! How can it hurt to add 11 million or 20 million more people to free health care? How can it hurt? It\u2019s a beautiful thing! Eleven million more getting “free health care,” which is what everybody thinks Obamacare is.<\/p>\n

So you know it and I know it.<\/p>\n

The ruling class, the political elites in Washington have wanted this since Simpson-Mazzoli. They\u2019ve wanted it since \u201986. During the second term of the Bush administration, it was an intense desire. Obama put it on the back burner his first term. But now, here it is on the front burner. We\u2019ve got four Republicans and four Democrats who have signed on to it, and it appears to be a fait accompli. The Republican participation in this is taking place largely because they believe if they don\u2019t do it, they will never win the presidency again because they will never get Hispanic votes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they think.<\/p>\n

They have been convinced that Hispanics hate them because of immigration. Now, we know this isn\u2019t true. We\u2019ve seen the data. We\u2019ve seen the academic, scholarly data, and we know that 75%… I had these numbers before the election. It didn\u2019t matter then and probably isn\u2019t gonna matter now. Seventy-five percent of Hispanics do not vote for a president based on immigration. It\u2019s not their top issue. The welfare state is. Government as the provider, government as the source of prosperity is the number one issue for Hispanic voters.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t immigration.<\/p>\n

But the Republicans have bought the idea that they\u2019re never gonna win anything if they don\u2019t relax the perceived position they have on immigration. And what is the perceived position? The perceived position is, among Hispanics and the Hispanic political organizations, that Republicans are racists! The Republicans don\u2019t like Hispanics, and Republicans want to deport them. Republicans want to kick them out. Why is that the perceived position?<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s not the Republican position. For as long as I\u2019ve been paying attention, the Republicans have been begging for Hispanic votes! The Republicans have not said one thing to make anybody think they want Hispanics deported. Oh, there have been some people who have held principled positions about the law when it comes to immigration, and Republicans have been penalized for that. The law is an old-fashioned thing. The Constitution? Who needs it?<\/p>\n

CBS News even ran a piece on how the Constitution can be kind of old-fashioned. What do we need it for anymore? It\u2019s the same thing with any other law that people don\u2019t like. This amnesty business, this illegal immigration, the idea is: The reason the Republicans are thought of the way they are is because of years and years and years of Democrat media distortion about the Republican position, and the Republicans inability to counter it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So we have to accept the fact that a large percentage of Hispanics think that Republicans want to deport them, when nobody\u2019s ever talked about deportation! Nobody\u2019s ever advocated it. All the Republicans have advocated is fealty to the law. There\u2019s a way to become a citizen, and why should certain people be exempted from it while the rest of the world is in line following the law? And so when they say that, the Democrats say, “See? They\u2019re biased against Hispanics. See? They\u2019re biased against Latinos.”<\/p>\n

The Republicans\u2019 reaction is sort of what happened to Sarah Palin. The media destroyed her, so the Republicans said, “The only way out of this is to kick her out of the party. The only way that we can survive is for us to publicly distance ourselves from Sarah Palin.” Rather than defend her, rather than do what they could to make the case that she was trying to make, just throw her overboard. Here with immigration they say, “Okay! All right!<\/p>\n

“They believe X, so we can\u2019t change that other than to do what Democrats do, because Hispanics like the Democrats,” and that\u2019s basically where we are. Now, tomorrow, in our second hour, we\u2019re gonna have Marco Rubio on the program to talk about this. He\u2019s one of the eight who supports this, and he\u2019s got and has long had his own immigration plan. I want to talk to him about how much of his plan he was able to make part of this. So we\u2019ll have him in the top of the second hour tomorrow.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know. My guess is going to be that after we listen to some of the sound bites of, say, Senator Schumer and Senator McCain and Senator Menendez, some of the others on this bipartisan group announcing immigration reform today, my guess is that it\u2019s gonna sound very close to exactly what we were told in 1986 with the first amnesty. I\u2019ll bet you we hear that if we do this, we\u2019ll never have to do it again. We\u2019ve got to do this \u2019cause it\u2019s out of control. We\u2019ve gotta do this, secure the border, and so forth. <\/p>\n

Anyway, one of Marco Rubio\u2019s points, folks, essentially is that Obama\u2019s already given us de facto amnesty anyway. He did it with the children of illegal immigrants via the executive order back last year. It was prior to the election. I mean, thanks to Obama you have amnesty unless you get convicted of a major felony. So I don\u2019t know that there\u2019s any stopping this. It\u2019s up to me and Fox News, and I don\u2019t think Fox News is that invested in this. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any Republican opposition to this of any majority consequence or size. We\u2019ll have to wait and see and find out. But this is one of those, just keep plugging away, plugging away, plugging away until you finally beat down the opposition. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
