<\/p>\nRUSH: This is Jeffrey, Quincy, Illinois. Glad you waited, sir. You\u2019re on Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey. Thank you, Rush, and happy birthday to you. I would like to say that regarding the Democrats and the general Democrat person out in the United States, most of them — or actually many, many more — are not in favor of chain migration; they\u2019re not in favor of anchor babies. And what I would do if I were in Trump\u2019s shoes, I would ask each of the 213 members — Democrat members — in the House of Representatives, to go on record and say, “Yes, I want chain migration.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Why do you think they\u2019re opposed to it, the Democrats?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s just not popular. It\u2019s not… You know, if Dick Durbin wants it and —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Since when did they care about that? None of what they want to do is popular. That\u2019s the point!<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, Rush, what I would do is I would let those… Everything\u2019s about getting votes, and everything\u2019s about winning elections. I would say, “I only got 70 calls over the weekend of reps who wanted chain migration. So we\u2019re not gonna do it.” I would say, “If you want it, then you go on record,” and I\u2019ll tell you what: That, along with tax cuts, it\u2019d be a hell of a referendum to run on in the midterms. I don\u2019t even… I don\u2019t think the Republicans could lose a seat if it was about chain migration and tax cuts.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, okay. I\u2019m gonna have to think about this, \u2019cause grab audio sound bite number five again. This is Senator Durbin, Democrat from Illinois. In fact, before number 5. Let\u2019s see. Grab sound bite number 6. Some of you in this audience, particularly if you are Millennials — or if you\u2019re older than Millennials and you\u2019ve only recently started paying attention to all this — I want to take you back 13 years ago, 12.5 years ago. This is June 14th, 2005. George W. Bush it just started a second term.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dick Durbin, senator from Illinois, he made a floor speech on the Senate floor. It was about what\u2019s going at Guantanamo Bay and things that we had learned about the prison at Abu Ghraib in Iraq. I want you to listen to how this guy, this Democrat senator… I\u2019ve mentioned it. Democrats beginning in 2005 onward, did their best to undermine the war in Iraq and the War on Terror. They did everything they could to undermine the American military.<\/p>\n
They were accusing the American military of being rapists, of terrorizing women and children. John Kerry did that and a guy named John Murtha, who\u2019s now dead, from Pennsylvania. The Democrats were on the warpath, and the things they were saying about military officials, uniformed military personnel pale in comparison to what Trump said yesterday. They were impugning daily the integrity and the honor of the military of their own country, and it was epitomized highlighted by this speech. We have 31 seconds of it from Dick Durbin…<\/p>\n
