An unidentified person said, &#8216;Senator, you have been a leader on immigration reform in the Senate, but unfortunately congress has failed to make progress on this very critical issue. As the next President of the United States, will comprehensive immigration reform, not just enforcement, be one of your top policy priorities in your first 100 days?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"270\" class=\"alignright\"\/>MCCAIN: It will be my top priority yesterday, today and tomorrow. And, my friends, we tried. I reached across the aisle to Senator Ted Kennedy &#8212; and by the way, I know that he\u2019s in your prayers &#8212; and we worked in a bipartisan fashion and we were defeated. And by the way, it wasn\u2019t very popular, let\u2019s have some straight talk with some in my party and so I did that and worked together so that we could carry out a federal responsibility. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: How badly does he want to be president? Just how badly does he want to be? Has he not seen the latest polls on the Hispanic vote? &#8216;It will be my first, my top priority yesterday, today and tomorrow. I reached across the aisle to Senator Kennedy.\u2019 He then said this. <\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: We have to secure our borders; that\u2019s the message. But we also must precede with a temporary worker program that is verifiable and truly temporary. We must also understand that there are 12 million people who are here and they are here illegally and they are God\u2019s children. They are God\u2019s children and they will be treated in a humane fashion. Immigration reform will be my top priority because we have the obligation to address a federal issue from a federal standpoint. I will reach across the aisle again and work in a bipartisan fashion. We will resolve the immigration issue in America and we will secure our borders. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve heard him say this. He thinks that these are wondrous things to say. He thinks that these are very powerful comments because he thinks the American people are tired of gridlock, and that bipartisanship will get rid of gridlock. So he believes that the American people are going to embrace him for walking across the aisle to Ted Kennedy, reaching across the aisle to all these other Democrats because that\u2019s going to somehow break gridlock and the American people want to get things done. Obama is basically trying to say the same thing by moving to the center on all these issues, flip-flopping from his positions in the primary campaign. I don\u2019t know how seriously he wants to win this. I know he does. It\u2019s just nonsensical. Moving on&#8230; I\u2019m just blue in the face talking about this illegal immigration issue. There\u2019s nothing more to be said about it. There\u2019s nothing more to be said about the stupid politics of it. What did they not figure out after they tried this Amnesty Bill and it was wiped out by the American people? What did they not understand? It\u2019s not even a question of that. They understand full well that what they are going to have to do is find an end run around the American people to get this done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Saturday in Washington at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference McCain spoke.
