RUSH: So it\u2019s not a crisis, right? It\u2019s just a manufactured crisis. We know this is all bunk. By the way, there\u2019s a link to a story up on Drudge, and I\u2019ve gotta be very careful here. I\u2019m not being critical. I\u2019m being analytical here. There\u2019s a story up on Drudge — I think it\u2019s from the Grabien website<\/a> — and it\u2019s a good story. It is a list of all the things that cost much, much more than the wall will cost (much more than Trump is asking, $5.1 billion) that the Democrats have had no problem funding — and it\u2019s oddball, weird stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"You know, it\u2019s the mating habits of Australian rabid bats. It\u2019s whether or not Eskimos still cheat on their wives. They\u2019ve got studies for that kind of stuff. I\u2019ve always said, “For half of the money you\u2019re spending on that, I\u2019ll blow the whistle on Palm Beach. You don\u2019t have to go to Eskimos to study this.” But I wonder how persuasive it is anymore. I mean, this is a tactic that we have employed for I don\u2019t know how long — the whole time I\u2019ve been doing this radio show — and I just don\u2019t know how effective it is.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not suggesting not to do it. The stories are worthwhile, and they do provide interesting fodder for people that want to repeat the stuff on Twitter and Facebook and so forth. But I don\u2019t think this is really about money, and I don\u2019t think that anybody out there that\u2019s paying any attention to this thinks it\u2019s about money. I don\u2019t think anybody thinks the Democrats think $5 billion is too much. It\u2019s not about that at all. The Democrats have authorized more money for this (as we\u2019ve just demonstrated) since 2005. It\u2019s not about money.<\/p>\n

Maybe you could embarrass them by pointing out all the crazy things they have agreed to fund. But hypocrisy, it never seems to stick to them — and I\u2019m talking about in terms of actually persuading voters to realize that the Democrats are a bunch of skunks. It just never seems to work. Hypocrisy never attaches. It does to us, and the reason it does to us is because back in the old days of the family values party we\u2019re out there talking about being moral and upright and this kind of thing.<\/p>\n

So any time anybody in the conservative movement failed and was caught having an affair or getting a divorce, here came the Drive-Bys: “A bunch of phonies! Family values, my ass! Look what you\u2019re doing,” and it all fell apart. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton can have an affair, can have all kinds of things going on in his underwear in the toilet in the Oval Office, and it really did not create any opposition to him from Democrats or from the media, because they were never held to the same standard.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the reasons why the character debate on Clinton, I don\u2019t think it was successful. It might have been important. It might have been necessary to do in terms of staking out our place and position in terms of things we think are important in a leader. But they just have never worked, because it isn\u2019t about money. It\u2019s gotten so bad that yesterday on CNN — and, look, don\u2019t try to find the sound for this \u2019cause there is no sound to this.<\/p>\n

Yesterday on CNN, a so-called Republican analyst or strategist or whatever, Ana Navarro, during a discussion about crime and murder and rape committed by illegal aliens began filing her nails in boredom. She essentially gave herself a manicure while the other guest was detailing the horrors of criminal activity engaged in by illegals. So it\u2019s not even a crisis of murder and mayhem and crime, and whenever it came up here comes the supposed Republican analyst or strategist purposely acting bored and uninterested and essentially saying:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re stupid. You\u2019re crazy. This isn\u2019t a problem! Illegals are no more criminal than anybody else coming into this country.” By the way, what about that comparison? This is another thing that the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are saying<\/a>, that the crime created by illegals is less per capita than crime committed by American citizens. A, I\u2019ve looked. They\u2019ve been touting this for I don\u2019t know how long. I can\u2019t find that statistic.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re just making that up. They\u2019re just making it up. But what if it were true? It still doesn\u2019t mean, “Okay, fine. Let \u2019em in.” There\u2019s still the law that we\u2019re dealing with that is being broken every day that nobody seems — on the left or in the media — to be concerned with upholding. So we come up with all these justifications for letting people in. “Yeah, they commit crime but not as much as Americans do per capita.”<\/p>\n

Oh! So what? The country will be safer if we let in these thugs and coyotes and drug dealers? It will be safer if we let them enter the country illegally? Is that what they\u2019re saying? It is what they\u2019re saying! It\u2019s on this kind of thing that I think we could be much more effective debating these people and rather than point out where the Democrats have authorized spending money that\u2019s much more than for the wall, \u2019cause it isn\u2019t about the money.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Party needs to be properly positioned and explained here. They are standing in favor of the import of crime. They are standing in favor of it! They\u2019re standing aside and saying it isn\u2019t any big deal that murderers and rapists and drug dealers are being allowed into the country. They\u2019re saying that\u2019s not a big deal today. They don\u2019t think it\u2019s worth trying to stop.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Democrat Party needs to be portrayed and positioned as people who are perfectly fine with a distinct and unique American culture and our society being corrupted and perverted. The truth needs to be said about what the Democrats are doing. If they\u2019re gonna sit there and act like it isn\u2019t any big deal that illegal aliens routinely come in and commit murder, I\u2019ll tell you this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the people that have been maimed and injured and killed by illegal aliens would today, more than likely, be unharmed if those illegals had not made it across the border — and there\u2019s no other way you can argue that. The only way you could argue that is, “Well, Rush, that\u2019s not true because the crime and the commission of crime by Americans is far greater per capita than among illegals.”<\/p>\n

No. You can\u2019t say that just because some illegals would not have committed the crime if they hadn\u2019t been allowed to enter that others would have. You think Kate Steinle would still be dead, in other words, or some of these other people have been wantonly murdered? They would still be murdered even if we had closed the border and not allowed these thugs to enter? That\u2019s basically what…<\/p>\n

This is the position the Democrats have eagerly plotted for themselves. They seem perfectly happy to own this political position that nothing bad is happening because of open borders and that we need more of it and that they\u2019re not concerned with the crime or the cultural rot and destruction that\u2019s taking place. They aren\u2019t concerned about the rule of law being violated every time somebody is invited to cross the border with impunity.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the position they\u2019ve staked out — and why? Not because they don\u2019t want to spend money. It\u2019s because they hate Trump. We\u2019re watching Trump Derangement Syndrome literally do and inflict unnecessary damage to people in this country. Things are happening that would not be happening if we were simply obeying our own law and enforcing current immigration law.<\/p>\n

Here is a story from Gaston County, North Carolina, at 10:30 today. “Three Illegal Immigrants Arrested With $200K Worth Of Meth In Gaston County<\/a> — Gaston County police say they arrested three illegal aliens with $200,000 worth of methamphetamine in their possession. Christian Cabrea-Rivas, 36, Silvia Hernandez-Iturralde, 29, and Marco Tulio Ramos Garcia, 35, were taken into custody on Monday, Jan. 7 after authorities found them in possession of two kilograms of meth. Police say several children were present during the drug bust. They have since been taken into protective custody.<\/p>\n

\"\"Cabrea-Rivas is a documented member of the street gang MS-13, which, according to the Democrats, there\u2019s no MS-13, there is no gang. Trump is making this all up. This stuff would not be happening and to the people it\u2019s happening to it\u2019s real and it would not be happening if we were simply enforcing the law. But the hatred for Donald Trump — What\u2019s being manufactured here is the political positioning to deny Donald Trump anything that might benefit him and his reelection bid in 2020 and ditto the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

And the Democrat Party, as they always do, they\u2019re making it plain as day that the citizens of this country are at the bottom of the list in terms of deciding what\u2019s important and what\u2019s not and who we\u2019re gonna work for. They tout that the federal workers may not be able to make their mortgage payment. My God. They may be foreclosed on. Oh, my God.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, look at the pain and suffering being visited on innocent people by way of illegal alien immigrant thugs, and you don\u2019t hear any compassion for those people from the Democrats. There is so much that they could be destroyed on, so much they could be exploited on. I hope Trump keeps playing these videos, keeps tweeting these videos of all these Democrats. And he\u2019s doing it as he\u2019s glad to have Obama\u2019s support. It\u2019s clever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
