\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This story in The Politico, I can\u2019t believe that they published this story. “Immigration Reform Could Be Bonanza For Democrats.” I mean, everybody knows it. Not everybody wants to admit it, particularly on the Republican advocate side. “The immigration proposal pending in Congress would transform the nation\u00c2\u2019s political landscape for a generation or more — pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that, if current trends hold, would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.”<\/p>\n

The amazing thing here is that the Politico even would post this. Everybody knows this is the case. This is what\u2019s so frustrating. Why in the world do the Republicans want to do this? You know, amnesty for 11 million, 12 million, 20 million, it\u2019s gonna turn the country into California, politically, where the Republican Party doesn\u2019t exist. It is suicide for the Republican Party to grant amnesty to however millions of illegals are in the country. It\u2019s the only reason amnesty\u2019s ever been an issue. Why, as I asked Senator Rubio last week<\/a>, why would we agree to something the Democrats are salivating over? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Senator Schumer can taste this. He\u2019s so excited. All the Democrats. Why would we agree to something that they are so eager to have? And you know what I think is the reason The Politico\u2019s running this? I\u2019ll give you a wild guess. I think they are worried that there are some Democrats who might be afraid that voting for amnesty will hurt their own reelection chances. We saw that in the Senate vote on gun control. Remember how mad Obama got. That was supposed to happen in the House. It was supposed to be the Republicans that vote down gun control so that they have a campaign issue. The Democrats did it \u2019cause they\u2019re worried about reelection. And there are Democrats that know full well the people in this country don\u2019t want amnesty. And so The Politico, I think, is running a story, “It\u2019ll be okay. You guys are gonna clean up if you get this.”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shannon, Lexington, Kentucky, I have about a minute here but I wanted to get to you. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. Hi, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: For taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Honored to speak with you. Yes. I was calling to see if you knew if there was gonna be maybe anything on the president going to Boston and maybe talking to some of the family members of the victims to possibly fly them down to Congress to lobby some of the members of Congress there on tighter immigration reform.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you have any experience with ricin? You sound like a ricin suspect.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I thought you may ask me that, about my accent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Just teasing. You understand I\u2019m just kidding. I\u2019m bouncing after the last story. Interesting. You\u2019re wondering if the president will go to Boston and find some families to put on Air Force One to fly them where, to Washington?<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes, to maybe lobby for tighter immigration like the president —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, if he did that it would be not for tighter immigration controls, but more lax immigration controls. I don\u2019t —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I may try to I\u2019m sorry — go ahead.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, no, you go ahead because time is limited. It\u2019s your show.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I was thinking he may try to do the same thing as he did with members of the Sandy Hook —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know. I understand the thinking here, but I\u2019ll have to ponder what value would there be, what cause. Man, you are very, very suspicious of our young, devoted president. I\u2019m kind of shocked at you, actually.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, Shannon in Lexington, Kentucky, let me ask you a question. Can you imagine the outrage if the Republicans decided to use the survivors in Boston for any political advantage, like Obama? Can you imagine? Oh! And I was only joking about the ricin. I was bouncing off the previous story. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
