This is Warren, and I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Nice to have you with us on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Warren!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (Laughing.) Hey, longtime listener, fourth time caller. I want to tell you, you had me dancing for joy the other day. I spent a lot of time shouting at the radio, wanting you to get it right, and when you said that they\u2019re letting the immigrants in to pay the Social Security, it came to me about six months ago why both parties want these guys to just come in here, they want the tax money. They want to line \u2019em up, give them a number, and have those taxes pour in to keep the Ponzi scheme running.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s part of it. There\u2019s no question. I mentioned this last week. You\u2019re nice to remind me of it. We\u2019ve been aborting 1.2 million babies a year in this country since 1973. That\u2019s quite a drain on citizens. Now we need bodies to pay the Social Security taxes for the baby boom generation, they start retiring. We don\u2019t have enough bodies to do it. And, of course, Washington is not going to reform entitlements. (Gasping.) Too big a risk. So just get these bodies in. The dirty little secret is that they\u2019re going to be a net drain on Social Security because while they may be contributing Social Security taxes, to help defray some of the Social Security of other baby boomers they\u2019re going to have to also receive their own transfer payments because they\u2019re not going to have access to health care, not going to have enough money for kids to go to school, this sort of thing. It\u2019s easier to import the bodies here than to take on the serious task of reforming these problems, which, by the way, is not going to be solved by these people coming in. If it even works, it\u2019s a temporary fix. <\/p>\n<p>But the second reason &#8212; it\u2019s very close. The Democrats, by the same token, don\u2019t discount the fact that this to them is a golden opportunity to expand the welfare system. Look, I\u2019m going to stop saying this. I\u2019m sure you\u2019re getting tired of me saying this. I never get tired of hearing myself say things, especially when I\u2019m right, but I can imagine them that after you heard them enough, &#8216;Okay, Rush, move on.\u2019 But the point is that what is at stake here is the Democrats see a golden opportunity to create a whole new subculture of dependents that are going to vote for them forever. The Democrats, the liberals in this country resent conservatism and its success and its power, they want to take on the traditions and institutions that have made this country great, tear \u2019em down and rebuild the country in the liberals\u2019 own image, which is a giant governor government, whole lots of victims, people dependent, can\u2019t get by on their own. That\u2019s nirvana for liberals, and that\u2019s part and parcel of this whole thing. Lance in Sonora, California, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Fine, sir, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Major <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomsullivan.com\/\">Tom Sullivan<\/a> dittos from California.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, I have another take on this, and maybe you can set me straight or not, but I have a feeling that the state department writes position papers on every type of scenario known to man. If someone blows their nose they have a position paper on what to do and what kind of response we may get. I\u2019m just afraid that the United States may have gotten ourselves into kind of a jam with the amount of influx of dollars that is sent to Mexico, that they are scared to death that if we shut down the border completely, without the influx of dollars, that that will destabilize the country and the last thing we want is a revolution to our neighbors to the south.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019ve been through periods of time where the Mexican economy was in dire straits, and so we bailed \u2019em out. I have received calls from government officials during this period urging me to support the, quote, unquote, Mexican bailout. You know, strip all this away, however it\u2019s resolved, that\u2019s true, too. But it\u2019s only going to perpetuate the problem. None of this is solving anything. It is just delaying the day of reckoning. I appreciate the call, Lance. You\u2019re on to something. There\u2019s probably a whole lot of little reasons here that they\u2019re not ever going to tell us that inspire their support for this, because you know there have to be, folks, because they\u2019re not listening to you on this. They\u2019re going to ram this through. They\u2019re not listening to you. Your opposition doesn\u2019t matter to them. They\u2019re willing to risk your wrath at the expense of getting this done, and there\u2019s got to be reasons that we don\u2019t know because they won\u2019t tell us for this to be the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Royal Oak, Michigan.
