There\u2019s Clinton playing the race card now. Clinton saying, &#8216;Look, we need to legalize these people, make them taxpayers. We\u2019ll create more jobs.\u2019 Every aspect of this is an out-and-out lie, but it does give away what their purpose is with all of this. The reason that people oppose illegal&#8230; It\u2019s not anti-immigrant sentiment. It is anti-ILLEGAL immigrant sentiment. It\u2019s not just &#8216;white male factory workers.\u2019 Are 70% of Arizona\u2019s white male factory workers, Mr. President? Are 70% of the American people white male factory workers? These people are the bigots. These people are the racists. These are the people throw the race card. These are the people who are trying to impugn citizens of this country and impugn the country in general. <\/p>\n<p>But how about this lie? (Clinton impression) &#8216;These white guys, factory workers, they\u2019d get more jobs if the economy grows.\u2019 Mr. President, it\u2019s 10% unemployment now. You flood the job market with 20 million more all of a sudden legal citizens. Somebody explain to me how that\u2019s going to create jobs, and then (impression), &#8216;Their taxes will be lower if you got more taxpayers.\u2019 Only if you lower the rates, and you don\u2019t lower rates; you raise them, Mr. President. (impression) &#8216;The pressure is on Social Security, changes we\u2019ll have to make will be slightly less Draconian if you have more people&#8230;\u2019 Ohhhhh! So we need these people contributing to Social Security so that we don\u2019t have to cut Social Security and really tick off our constituents. <\/p>\n<p>So they\u2019re giving away what\u2019s really at stake here. Now, I want to revisit this notion about the numbers, \u2019cause I am of a firm belief that the numbers don\u2019t work for Obama here. He doesn\u2019t have enough fraudulent voters to overcome the existing sentiment on this issue come November. I\u2019m looking at this from the context of legitimate numbers, because the Hispanic vote really is small compared to the rest of the population &#8212; and the Hispanic vote\u2019s divided, too, it\u2019s not monolithic. Contrary to what everybody thinks (another media lie) it\u2019s not all Democrat. But we do have Motor Voter and we do have outright fraud. John Fund has written about it. He\u2019s got a great book about it. Obama may be hoping that there will be enough illegal votes to make up for, maybe even surpass the votes he will lose for being more amnesty. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s counting on ACORN. He\u2019s counting on the illegal vote. That\u2019s at the root of all of this. Now, there\u2019s no voter ID required. So that\u2019s in Obama\u2019s column. You have Motor Voter as well. That\u2019s in his column. ACORN, Project Vote. So the idea of massive voter fraud this November might not be so far-fetched. What the heck? What\u2019s Obama got to lose? If you look at where he is in the polls right now anyway, everybody knows they\u2019re going to lose seats. He knows if he doesn\u2019t do something the Democrats are gonna lose big in November, so why not try to pull a rabbit out of his hat? None of this is really far-fetched. <\/p>\n<p>This push for amnesty is his and the Democrats\u2019 hail Mary pass. That\u2019s really what this is. There\u2019s a very, very interesting thing going on here with all this. It\u2019s multilayered, it\u2019s multifaceted, but it\u2019s all based on dividing the people of this country by race and by the haves and have-nots &#8212; and it\u2019s being done and orchestrated by the president of the United States. Do you remember all during the Bush years how frustrated we got when the Bush White House would never respond to the vicious personal and political attacks that were made against him and other of his administration? I asked him about it, and he said, &#8216;Look, I\u2019m president of the United States. I\u2019m not gonna sully this office by descending to that level of partisanship. I\u2019m just not going to do it.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But, Mr. President, it would rally your base. Your base is tired of hearing you and by extension them be insulted day in and day out lie after lie after lie.\u2019 He said, &#8216;I\u2019m not going to sink to that level.\u2019 Well, we see what happens now when we have a president who does sink to that level. We have a president now who\u2019s nothing more than a community organizer or agitator. We see what happens to the office of the presidency when pure unadulterated, undiluted partisanship runs it. He gives speeches, &#8216;I want you black people to vote for me. I want you Hispanics to get in line. I want you women to get your energy back.\u2019 He\u2019s cherry-picking the people he wants to support him. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So Bill Clinton\u2019s out there saying, (impersonating Clinton) &#8216;I understand what\u2019s happening out there. I really do, all these white factory workers, they lost their jobs.\u2019 White people and their level of unemployment approaches the Great Depression. Black unemployment is double-digit. Black people in this country are in worse shape than they have ever been under this president, who is supposed to be postpartisan and postracial. He was going to promise us this new union unity, this new beginning, something we had never before seen in politics. Gonna put all those things that divide the country behind us. And we shoulda known it was a lie, we did know it was a lie, just like all of his other promises. The guy was the most liberal Democrat in the Senate when he was there, and that\u2019s something when you are more liberal than Ted Kennedy, when you\u2019re more liberal than Harry Reid or John Kerry. Even La Raza says that Hispanics are doing very poorly in this country. They need billions more in taxpayer dollars to survive. That\u2019s the reason they exist. La Raza is urging everybody they can to be counted in this census to get the benefits. They\u2019re not interested in people going to work. They\u2019re interested in benefits, their share of the benefits pie. Bill Clinton\u2019s out there saying, (impersonating Clinton) &#8216;Yeah, I know why all this is happening, all these white guys are mad as hell \u2019cause they lost their jobs.\u2019 Everybody\u2019s hurting but the white guys are hurting a little bit less than some of the others is the truth of all this. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to start in Washington Township in New Jersey. Mike, great to have you, sir. You\u2019re first. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, I\u2019m a huge fan, and I\u2019ve never voted for a Democrat, so I just want to make sure you understand that before we get into this. I also support Jan Brewer\u2019s decision to do what she did in Arizona, but I feel that this is the only issue that can hurt us as Republicans because you said something important. It\u2019s their Hail Mary pass, and why is it? Because it\u2019s the only thing that can pull on the purse strings for the compassionate feelings that people may have for this. And I think this, Rush. What do you think of this proposal &#8212; and I don\u2019t understand why really nobody on our side, we gotta take the lead, we could take this issue right back from the Democrats by doing this. Put together a proposal, first and foremost, absolutely seal and protect that border immediately. It\u2019s a gross dereliction of duty on the part of the federal government. Two, second thing, give all illegal aliens that are in our country now, give them a time period, I don\u2019t know, you know, I\u2019m not smart enough to decide if it\u2019s 90 days, six months, I don\u2019t know, but give them a time period where they have to report to INS, right? Three. Then anyone that\u2019s &#8212; and if they don\u2019t, meaning after that certain time period, Rush, if then people are picked up they get immediately deported because they need to report. Of course anyone that has committed crimes, felonies, or any serious crime, get \u2019em out, send \u2019em right back. But what about the people that, you know, there\u2019s people that have kids that were born here, the others that are here, we can\u2019t round up 12 million people. Give them some kind of pass. I\u2019m not saying citizenship. Give them a resident alien card or let \u2019em pay a huge fine. If they\u2019re working, let \u2019em keep jobs. The majority of the people who are here are not all criminals; they\u2019re not all bad people. I mean, is any of that making sense to you, Rush?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"322\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: No. It doesn\u2019t make any sense. I\u2019ll tell you why. In the first place the Democrats don\u2019t own the issue, so the premise in which you based everything that followed is flawed. We own this issue. The Democrats do not. Nobody that owns an issue throws a Hail Mary pass. Nobody that has got the game locked down throws a Hail Mary pass. The Democrats &#8212; I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s a grand strategy. I think they\u2019re throwing it up against the wall here. I think they\u2019re desperate. The second thing, the plan you described is practically word-for-word what the Kennedy, Bush, McCain immigration bill was in 2007, and you see what happened to that. It went down in flames because the American people saw it for what it was. It was a pathway to amnesty. The second thing is you say we give \u2019em X-number of days to show up and then those that don\u2019t, we find \u2019em and say, &#8216;Sayonara.\u2019 How we going to find \u2019em? We\u2019re relying on them to show up at some office. Do we have the infrastructure to handle this? Okay, we put out a PSA, press release on TV ads, &#8216;Okay all of you people here illegally in the country, listen up. Show up to the courthouse at West Palm Beach, 45 office suite 717 between eight a.m. and five p.m. all next week,\u2019 and then whoever shows up, we say, &#8216;All right, 100% compliance.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Well, how do we know that they\u2019ve all shown up? And the ones that don\u2019t show up, how do we found out who they are to deport \u2019em? Securing the border is already federal law. It\u2019s not being obeyed. They have not implemented it at all. See, this is why I\u2019m making the point about the template today. We have not lost the issue. They have brought this issue up now because they are in deep doo-doo in November, and they are throwing this up against the wall hoping that this will reverse their downward movement so the losses won\u2019t be as bad. It\u2019s gonna make it even worse for them. Try this, folks. These rallies, these marches are on Saturday, right? I know normally the last thing you want to do is watch a bunch of malcontents protesting the country on a Saturday. But give yourself ten minutes to do it. Watch \u2019em burn the American flag, watch \u2019em go make speeches ripping this country apart, listen to them probably bash Bush and Cheney. Because when they do these things every leftist malcontent from the animal rights wackos to the environmental rights wackos to the anti-globalization nuts, they all show up. It\u2019s not just the illegal immigrant lobby. They all show up and they all vie for attention, they all want to be heard on their pet issue. <\/p>\n<p>So you tune in, and you watch ten minutes of this, and you tell yourself, &#8216;You know what? This really makes me want to give amnesty to these people.\u2019 What it\u2019s going to do, if you just give yourself ten minutes to watch it, it\u2019s going to fire you up even more to not surrender the country. I don\u2019t see where the template is something that we ought to buy here. Everything the caller said sounded good, it\u2019s all premised on the fact we\u2019re losing the issue and that we\u2019re going to lose the issue. The Democrats are going to win big, they\u2019re going to cream us on the basis of compassion. I dealt with that yesterday. Compassion, you know who needs compassion? The people in border states who are afraid to leave their homes for very long because it\u2019s likely when they come back, drug cartels have taken over or somebody else is in there. <\/p>\n<p>People do not feel safe. People are getting killed, ranchers, a rancher got murdered. These are not the old day laborers that came across to pick grapes and so forth with Cesar Chavez. This is a whole different bunch. These are drug smuggling coyotes and human smugglers. It\u2019s a whole different ball game now. Where is the compassion for the victims of all this, and the victims of all this are American citizens. Why is the compassion for the perps? AP story earlier today, you start enforcing the law and a lot of the illegal aliens will deport themselves. They have in the past. I\u2019d have to say it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, we played the audio sound bite earlier of President Obama saying the White House is gonna put off immigration. He was on Air Force One, he said to reporters, &#8216;We\u2019ve gone through a very tough year, and I\u2019ve been working Congress pretty hard so I know there may not be an appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue. There\u2019s still work that needs to be done on energy, the midterms are coming up, so I don\u2019t want us to do something for the sake of politics that doesn\u2019t solve the problem.\u2019 Now, that\u2019s Obama and experience says we take the exact opposite of what he says because there are reports today, we had it, Dana Bash at CNN reporting that three Democrats are going to announce comprehensive immigration reform legislation later today. So the leader of the regime is saying, &#8216;Nah, it\u2019s too controversial, we can\u2019t do it if we\u2019re not going to have any real progress on it, we\u2019ve got other things to do.\u2019 Here come some Democrats. <\/p>\n<p>So what this tells me is that on the Democrat side here there is confusion and there is desperation. There\u2019s not a well-oiled strategery being unveiled here, and any Republican who helps them in this, if these Democrats do indeed bring up an illegal immigration amnesty bill, any Republicans who helps them in this is finished. No questions asked. Finished. Just like, you know when Charlie Crist was finished? It wasn\u2019t the embrace of Obama on stage. It was the vocal support of the stimulus package. That\u2019s when Charlie Crist\u2019s momentum began to reverse itself. And then of course Marco Rubio came along with a full-fledged dyed-in-the-wool pure conservative message and it was only a matter of time. So you could say that Marco Rubio won the Republican primary before it was even held because Charlie\u2019s now going independent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Bill Clinton yesterday in Washington at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
