Hello, Steve.  Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Thank you, Rush.  I got an issue with the concept of illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_64027\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushRealvilleSign.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I understand that you live in Realville.  And I understand that to you words mean things.  And I\u2019m right there with you.  So here\u2019s my argument.  There is no such thing as illegal immigration.  Immigration, by definition, has to be legal.  If it is illegal, it is invasion.  If it is invasion, and not immigration, there is no federal question or federal jurisdiction.  So I would submit to you that Governor Brewer and all of her people misframed the argument, took the wrong argument to the court, invoked federal jurisdiction and now they\u2019re unhappy because Obama\u2019s running roughshod over them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  What should they have done?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, if in fact Arizona is a sovereign state, as I believe it to be, then she unquestionably has the right to defend her borders.  She has the right to repel borders, and she has the right to expel undesirables.  The issue is not one of immigration unless you misframe the issue.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s a good point.  I understand that.  How in the world do you have illegal immigrants?  It makes perfect sense to us in Realville.  They\u2019re not immigrants if they\u2019re illegal.  They\u2019re something else.  So I get the point.  Anyway, Steve, thanks very much.  I love getting calls from other citizens of Realville.  It makes me feel like I\u2019m at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Steve in Los Angeles. Hello, Steve. Welcome to the program. CALLER: Thank you, Rush.
