RUSH: Anthony in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how are you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just fine, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: First-time caller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: A little nervous. Illegal immigration. I don\u2019t think Huckabee or McCain get the idea here — especially how the Americans let their voices be heard on this illegal immigration thing. Now, you got Graham campaigning with McCain in South Carolina, and they\u2019re almost taking a condescending tone towards people questioning them on the illegal immigration. Every time you ask them, he comes up, ‘Secure the borders, two million criminals will be deported,\u2019 that leaves ten million left. So people want his answer and he keeps coming up with this, ‘Well, I know an illegal immigrant that\u2019s the wife of a soldier, and I\u2019m not going to send her home,\u2019 like that\u2019s compassionate or something.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Just a second. Hold it. Hold it! Who said that? McCain said that?<\/p>\n

CALLER: McCain.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s been saying that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just a sec.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He said it to Romney.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Because McCain is out there trying to tell everybody he\u2019s learned from the illegal immigrant fiasco, that he\u2019s seen the light on this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what Debra Saunders said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I haven\u2019t —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019ve been wondering about this, because I said on Monday, I\u2019m watching the TV, and there\u2019s Lindsey Grahamnesty opening up and doing a warm-up for a McCain town meeting, and I\u2019m thinking, ‘This is South Carolina where Lindsey Grahamnesty\u2019s negative numbers were just through the roof after this amnesty bill.\u2019 Now, the latest Rasmussen poll has it tied, for what this is worth. This is Thursday; the primary is Saturday. It has McCain and Huckabee at 24 each, Mitt Romney at 18%, Fred Thompson, 16%. The only guy moving up in this poll, I think, is Fred Thompson by a couple points, from 14 to 16%. These polls… You\u2019re right about this South Carolina immigration business.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t want —<\/p>\n

RUSH: For the anger over that to just have subsided? I would be interested to see this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t accept that, and I\u2019ll tell you what, just a personal experience. My wife\u2019s been in the country for seven years. She\u2019s from Europe. We\u2019ve been going through INS for seven years doing everything the way we\u2019re supposed to do and everything, and both Huckabee and McCain just don\u2019t seem to get it: that it\u2019s just not fair to the people that do it the right way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that they don\u2019t get it. See, that\u2019s the point. It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t get it. They think you don\u2019t. They think we don\u2019t get it, that we don\u2019t understand. Frankly, I happen to believe that members of the Senate are — at this moment, as we speak — plotting the next amnesty bill. I do! They\u2019re going to come back at this just like they come back with everything else that they lose. Look what went down when the State Children\u2019s Health Program, S-CHIP, went down the tubes. They\u2019re trying to incrementally bring back elements of that in different pieces of legislation rather than go get it all at once. What do you think driver\u2019s licenses for illegals was about in New York with Governor Spitzer? It was about the failure of the amnesty bill. ‘Okay, so let\u2019s go get it incrementally. We\u2019ll do this.\u2019 It\u2019s all Democrats are doing this stuff. I don\u2019t for a minute believe these guys aren\u2019t going to try to get that back. They just couldn\u2019t get it done before the presidential election year started. They can\u2019t do it during a presidential election year. So, make no bones about it: this is what they\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n

They made it very clear what they want in the United States Senate, members of both parties, and we know why. It\u2019s about votes! It\u2019s about registering new voters, pure and simple, folks. We know what this is about. What always amazed us on the Republican side was that we couldn\u2019t understand why Republicans didn\u2019t see that this was a Destruction of the Republican Party Act. Nevertheless, we\u2019re covering old ground here. It\u2019d be interesting to see how this does shake out in the primary on Saturday. But don\u2019t for a minute think that they\u2019ve seen the light on this. They may say so, but the bottom line is: They\u2019re still plotting ways. All these pro-amnesty people are still plotting ways, once they get back to serious legislative action after the presidential race, to get it passed. (interruption) What are you…? Are you disagreeing with me in there? Are you frowning because you think I\u2019m making an idiot of myself? (interruption) Okay. Good. Don\u2019t give me that look again because I know it couldn\u2019t possibly be true. So don\u2019t make me ask. They\u2019re plotting ways to get that amnesty done one way or the other when they get back. If you don\u2019t understand that, you don\u2019t understand who these people are and how they think. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
