RUSH: I want to add just a little bit to the monologue I did in the last hour <\/a>about why this immigration stalemate is such a great opportunity for people to learn the dangers of big government. Not to be repetitive, but to set this up, the American people opposed this because they don\u2019t think that the federal government can do what it says it\u2019s going to do in this bill. They don\u2019t think the government can do it, and they don\u2019t believe the people telling them from the federal government that they will do what they say. They don\u2019t believe, when the federal government says, ‘The status quo won\u2019t work.\u2019 The status quo would work if it were enforced. There\u2019s already legislation on the books to handle illegals. That\u2019s why they\u2019re still called illegals. Now, the point about this is, you have to understand, and this is a pretty stark statement I\u2019m going to make here, but the political class wants to change their bosses. Bosses right now are us. The Democrats want to change their bosses to more and more dependent victims. This never-ending flow of illegals fills that bill well. <\/p>\n

In addition to being snookered, the Republicans in Washington are trying to outpander the Democrats because they\u2019re doing this out of fear. The Republicans think, ‘Oh, my God, if the immigration bill passes, the Democrats are going to get credit, the Democrats are going to get all these voters.\u2019 So you\u2019ve got the Republicans out there trying to tell the Hispanics, ‘Hey we love you, too. You illegals, we love you too,\u2019 and it\u2019s not going to work. You can\u2019t pander. It never does work. But here\u2019s the thing. The political class wants to change the electorate, folks. They want to deemphasize or reduce your power over them at the ballot box. This immigration bill is an assault on us. It\u2019s an assault on the American people. And you know it, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re having trouble. You don\u2019t trust them; you don\u2019t believe them; and you don\u2019t think the government as it\u2019s currently constructed and constituted can do what it says it\u2019s going to do. <\/p>\n

You don\u2019t believe that they can perform 24-hour background checks on 12 million people; when it takes you five days to get a gun; when they can\u2019t issue a passport in three months. McCain-Feingold, that was passed to shut us up, and they made no bones about it. McCain-Feingold was expressly about eliminating criticisms of politicians at certain points in election cycles via television commercials. Taxes are raised, that\u2019s an attack on liberty. It\u2019s about control. A couple other immigration stories. I love these headlines. Actually, it\u2019s one story in two different places. It\u2019s basically AP story. ‘Day laborers sue Mamaroneck police — Workers No Longer To Be Asked About Immigration Status. Day laborers who successfully sued a Westchester village have won a tentative agreement that prohibits police officers from routinely asking their immigration status or otherwise discriminating against them, their lawyers said Monday. In addition, the village must pay more than half a million dollars of the workers\u2019 legal fees.\u2019 These are illegal immigrants, but they are being called day laborers here in this AP story. There are things like this happening all over the country, too, that people are being personally affected by. So they know that all this stuff is just a crock. They\u2019re not believing any of it. It\u2019s a great opportunity here. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Let\u2019s listen to President Bush, brief press conference after his meeting with members of Congress on the immigration bill. This is just about a half hour ago.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Some members in there are — believe that we need move a comprehensive bill. Some don\u2019t. I understand that. This is a highly emotional issue. But those of us standing here believe now is the time to move a comprehensive bill that enforces our borders and has good workplace enforcement, that doesn\u2019t grant automatic citizenship, that addresses this problem in a comprehensive way. I would hope that the Senate majority leader has that same sense of desire to move the product that I do, or the bill that I do, and these senators do, because now is the time to get it done. It\u2019s going to take a lot of hard work, a lot of effort. We\u2019ve gotta convince the American people that this bill is the best way to enforce our border. I believe without the bill it\u2019s going to be harder to enforce the border. The status quo is unacceptable, and I — I want to thank those senators from both sides of the aisle who understand the time is now to move a comprehensive piece of legislation. The White House will stay engaged.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just don\u2019t think people are going to buy that. I just don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to persuade. In the first place, what\u2019s really wrong with this is this whole notion of comprehensive. Something this behemoth and big, there\u2019s no way to control this. If you\u2019re going to genuinely fix it, you pick one area of it at a time and you start and you do that, and it has to be the border. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
