RUSH: I was watching on CNN today. The Democrats have a genuine, radical, off-the-wall analyst\/strategist named Cardona, Maria Cardona or something. She\u2019s debating some guy on immigration and sanctuary cities, and she was really all over ICE. She says (summarized), “ICE, it\u2019s like the Gestapo! I mean, they\u2019re not… They\u2019re not just focusing on the criminal illegals. They\u2019re focusing on the people who are here without papers too!” I\u2019m saying, “Well, what the hell are they if they\u2019re not illegal?”<\/p>\n

\"\"As though we\u2019re supposed to ignore that particular illegality, being here illegally and only go after those who have committed felony crimes after having arrived here? And she wanted to criticize ICE and call \u2019em a bunch of bad names because they\u2019re not just rounding up people who committed felonies. They\u2019re rounding up people who haven\u2019t committed any crimes at all except that they\u2019re here “without papers.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s another way of saying they\u2019re here illegally. You know, I\u2019ve been looking at this immigration document. But I made a prediction yesterday. Grab audio sound bite No. 1. This thing with sanctuary cities — particularly California, but in other places that are sanctuary cities, sanctuary states — is beginning to remind me of something. It is eerie. It is eerie the similarities that it\u2019s reminding me of. But first, a prediction I made yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I\u2019m gonna tell you what the left is gonna do. I\u2019m gonna predict to you right now the reaction to Jeff Sessions and his appearance in Sacramento today and the announced lawsuit. The way the left will react is to not engage on the issue. They will not mount a defense of sanctuary states or cities because they can\u2019t. What they\u2019ll do instead is start calling Trump and Sessions white supremacists trying to reinstate white supremacy, which is how this nation was founded, they will say. What Trump and Sessions really don\u2019t like is people of color, is what they will say. Sessions from Alabama, they will wink, wants to talk to us about people of color? Ha, they will say. And of course Trump, they\u2019ll say, \u201cRemember Charlottesville, Trump is one of these guys, white supremacists, likes the Nazis.\u201d This is what they\u2019re gonna say.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: When I\u2019m right — which is most of the time — I\u2019m right. This is late yesterday afternoon on Headline News with Michaela Pereira talking to Kevin de Leon. He\u2019s the head of the California Senate. He\u2019s a state senator. Yeah, he was asked by Michaela Pereira, “What do you say to Sessions when he says that allowing sanctuary cities essentially hampers the freedom of Californians, endangers law enforcement? How do you respond to that? Are you endangering law enforcement?”<\/p>\n

\"\"DE LEON: He\u2019s taking gangs as well as MS-13 gang members, and he\u2019s conflated that with hardworking mothers and fathers. Mothers who take care of other people\u2019s children, who, uh, are housekeepers like my mother, uh, who was a housekeeper all of her life, hardworking men who cut our grass, who grow our food, who serve us in the restaurant, he\u2019s conflating them with these hardened criminal, uh, felons. And the bottom line is this — I\u2019ve said this since last year — that you have a president and an attorney general that is basing their policies on white supremacy. And that tears up the fabric of who we are.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? See? Right there! Did I not predict it. It\u2019s white supremacy, all because we want to enforce the law. Charge “white supremacy” and never engage in the issue. By the way, what is this cutting the grass business? Pelosi made a big deal about that when talking about a border wall. I mean, she was off of her rocker which, sadly, appears to be becoming normal. He\u2019s talking about mowing the grass, now Kevin De Leon talks about mowing the grass. But, anyway, there you heard it, white supremacy.<\/p>\n

“A president, attorney general basing their policies on white supremacy.” No, sir. We\u2019re basing it on the rule of law, which you are flouting. The rule of law, which you are urinating all over, the rule of law, which you are breaking. The rule of law, which you are ignoring. And here\u2019s the mayor of Oakland, Libby Schaaf, who, by the way, this babe used to work… She was an assistant to Jerry Brown when he was the mayor of Oakland! This guy been the mayor of Oakland, now he\u2019s the mayor of San Francisco, the governor of California. This was in city hall at Oakland yesterday after Sessions made his remarks at the law enforcement meeting there in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

SCHAAF: His comments were so consistent with this racist distraction, this fearmongering that others, newcomers, outsiders are making our country less safe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are making the country less safe. You are violating the law! You are shielding felons. You are warning felons how to avoid apprehension, according to federal law. There\u2019s nobody here more guilty than you, Mayor Schaaf, and Governor Brown and everybody in this state who supports and enforces the sanctuary movement. You have nothing to fall back on. You can shout “white supremacy.” You can shout “racism.” You can shout all of these things, but it doesn\u2019t get to the heart of the issue, which is that you are violating the law.<\/p>\n

And here again, they want you to believe it\u2019s because they care about people. “Outsiders, newcomers…” They don\u2019t care about people. They\u2019re not doing this — the sanctuary city movement is not — because they care about people. It is not because they care about having… Well, it may be because they want the grass mowed, but it\u2019s not because they care about people. They say it is. They get away with that, but they don\u2019t care about people.<\/p>\n

If they did, they would care about the danger their citizens are in.<\/p>\n

They would care about the economic mess their citizens face.<\/p>\n

If they really cared about people. It\u2019s not that they care about people. It\u2019s that they have other purposes and uses for these people, and one of those purposes is simply to irritate the right wing. One of these purposes is seriously nothing more than a nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah to us. But they don\u2019t care about people. They get away with it. They supposedly are the lone practitioners of compassion. That is a myth. Here is Governor Brown yesterday in Sacramento talking about Sessions\u2019 remarks…<\/p>\n

BROWN: This is really unprecedented for the chief law enforcement of the United States to come out to California and act more like Fox News than a law-enforcement officer. This is basically going to war against the state of California, the engine of the American economy. It\u2019s not wise, it\u2019s not right and it will not stand.<\/p>\n
