RUSH: No surprises here in the Trump administration\u2019s outline of its plan to crackdown on undocumented illegal immigrants. “The Department of Homeland Security [today officially] laid out the Trump administration\u2019s plans for aggressive enforcement of immigration laws, including a potentially massive expansion of the number of people detained and deported.” As I say, there are no surprises here. This is exactly what Trump said he was gonna do during the campaign. There\u2019s gonna be panic galore, but it\u2019s nothing that Trump did not telegraph.<\/p>\n

He said he was gonna do it. And, by the way, this has been in the works for a while. But this fills the bill of one of the things that I think is good for him to do, and that is focus on this domestic agenda and get some action on it. Get it moving. He\u2019s gonna have to get the Republicans on Capitol Hill moving on tax reform, on all this immigration stuff. (sigh) And it\u2019s not a surprise to me that they\u2019re not crazy about it. Remember, everybody thought they were gonna lose! Everybody thought Hillary was gonna win.<\/p>\n

\"\"Everybody was making plans for the Democrats to win, for the Republicans to lose, and even some Republicans had said they\u2019d rather lose than Trump win. They\u2019d rather the party be blown to smithereens and have to rebuild it from scratch instead of dealing with Trump winning. And now that Trump has won, everybody\u2019s plans have turned upside down, and there\u2019s some people that don\u2019t want to deal with it and they\u2019re trying to get rid of him and it\u2019s what this is all about, and I have further detail on that coming up.<\/p>\n

But the story here about the administration\u2019s plan to crackdown on undocumented immigrants. For the most part here the secretary of Homeland Security, John Kelly, is telling the Department of Homeland Security to enforce the immigration laws we have on the books. That\u2019s step one, and it\u2019s a big step, because those laws have not been enforced. And when states have tried, Obama sued them, as in Arizona. Now, if the Democrats don\u2019t like our immigration laws, maybe they should try to change them via legislation instead of finding judges who are willing to override them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way constitutional republics work as opposed to finding Third World banana republic judges to go out there and try to put up stop signs to a president that they disagree with. “The department released guidance memos signed by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issued to heads of key agencies, which describe how the government plans to implement two executive orders President Donald Trump signed last month on border security and interior enforcement. The memos, which were obtained and reported on by CNN over the weekend, serve to expand upon the orders, which are unrelated to the … travel ban” that the judge in Seattle shut down.<\/p>\n

“The guidance explains how the administration plans to put in place the goals dictated in Trump\u2019s executive orders, including vastly increasing the resources to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, building a wall along the southern border and taking a hard-line position on undocumented immigrants. “Department of Homeland Security DHS Guidance on Immigration Executive Orders Tighten Policies on Credible Fear, Unaccompanied Minors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Through the memos, Kelly expands the government\u2019s immigration enforcement by instructing agencies to implement unused parts of existing law and by clarifying standards for certain protections, which add up to having sweeping implications for the processing of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.” Now, I\u2019m gonna tell you something. This is gonna be met — it already has been — with outrage and panic and anger and calls and shrieking from leftists who claim we\u2019re losing our country. (hysterical sobbing) “This is not who we are! These are not our values. It\u2019s horrible, !”<\/p>\n

This is just American law being enforced on the books, United States statutory law that — laws, I should more properly say — which have been ignored for years and years. So step one is simply enforcement of existing law. And again the thing, folks, there\u2019s no surprise here. This is exactly what Trump said he was going to do. Nothing new. Nothing shocking. The only reason it\u2019s shocking is because the left can\u2019t believe anybody would actually do it. Now, the Washington Post has an accompanying story with a headline:<\/p>\n

“Trump Administration Seeks to Prevent Panic Over New Immigration Enforcement Policies<\/a> — The Trump administration sought to allay fears in immigrant communities [today] as it publicly released wide-ranging new guidelines that allow federal authorities to take stronger enforcement actions against illegal immigrants, saying the directives,” blah, blah, blah. They go on and fill up blanks in their opening paragraph. You know what\u2019s begun to happen? Have you seen the stories that people here illegally are beginning to self-deport? (interruption)<\/p>\n

\"\"You haven\u2019t seen those stories? You know the story\u2019s been out there for a while. People have known the law is coming and they\u2019re leaving on their own. That\u2019s called self-deportation. It\u2019s like self-insuring. When you don\u2019t buy insurance, you say you\u2019ll cover whatever damage on your own, it\u2019s self-insurance. Well, people are self-deporting. It works this way. Once you tell people you\u2019re gonna start checking IDs, underage kids tend to empty out of your bar. I mean, if you\u2019re serving adult beverages to a bunch of 18- and 19- and 20-year-olds and one night you say, “Tomorrow, we\u2019re gonna check everybody\u2019s ID,” they\u2019re not showing up.<\/p>\n

They self-deport from the bar, fully, if they\u2019re under 21. So if you stop incentivizing illegal behavior, people stop engaging in it. So enforcing the law is disincentivizing people to break it. You know, some of the very learned people on this have said if the United States ever really commenced on an immigration policy of simply enforcing existing law, that that alone would reduce in a significant number the people illegally entering the country or trying to. If they know the law is going to be enforced and if they know they\u2019re going to be sent back if they\u2019re caught, they may not show up in the first place.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why… You know, Mexico wants to get rid of whoever\u2019s coming here. It\u2019s sad, but Mexico is constantly on the side of people here illegally being able to stay. You would think they\u2019d want \u2019em back, because we\u2019re told the people coming are the cream of the crop! They are productive; they\u2019re able to work. Why wouldn\u2019t Mexico want \u2019em? But Mexico doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Looky here. Just in from TheHill.com, a new poll. It\u2019s that Harvard-Harris poll from Mark Penn. More results. “Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Sanctuary Cities<\/a> — Donald Trump has broad public support in his effort to crack down on sanctuary cities. Eighty percent of voters say local authorities should have to comply with the law by reporting to federal agents the illegal immigrants they come into contact with.”<\/p>\n

Eighty percent, Mr. Snerdley. You never see a poll with 80% of the people agreeing on anything. Sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
