RUSH: Mayor Bloomberg in New York ‘slams the Arizona anti-immigration law. ‘We are committing national suicide,\u2019 he said. A fired-up Mayor Bloomberg warned that the US is committing national security suicide by passing the buck on implementing comprehensive immigration reform. Bloomberg delivered the blunt message yesterday as he criticized Arizona\u2019s harsh new anti-immigrant law. ‘This is not good for the country. I don\u2019t agree with it. We love immigrants here.” Well, take \u2019em! Do you remember, folks — I\u2019ve got this somewhere buried in the stack — a couple years ago, Bloomberg was paying the homeless with one-way tickets to leave to cities all over the world? <\/p>\n

They were putting too much of a strain on the shelter system in New York, so homeless people were being offered one-way tickets out of the city — and those were citizens. We think they were. They were homeless New Yorkers and the mayor who thinks we\u2019re committing suicide gets them out of town, ‘Aaaaah, too big a stress on our system here and our shelters. ‘This country is committing national suicide.\u2019 Arizona\u2019s not doing it. Arizona is not the reason we\u2019re committing national suicide, Mr. Mayor. If we are committing national suicide as it relates to this issue, it\u2019s because the federal government is not enforcing its own laws, and the federal government has no intention of enforcing its own laws.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s that AP story where he had earlier, they\u2019re just outraged, they were they\u2019re outraged that these illegally aliens are leaving Arizona. <\/p>\n

Listen to this. ‘An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession.\u2019 So, everybody\u2019s outraged by this, and they\u2019re lying about what\u2019s happened. The law in Arizona is actually acting as its own deportation instrument, at least from Arizona. Now, here\u2019s that story from New York, and it\u2019s not three years ago. It\u2019s last year, July 29, 2009. ‘They are flown to Paris for 6,000 bucks, Orlando for $859, Johannesburg for $2500, or most frequently San Juan. They\u2019re not executives on business trips or couples on honeymoons. Rather, they are families who have ended up homeless, and all the plane tickets are courtesy of the City of New York, and they are one-way. The Bloomberg administration, which has struggled with the seemingly intractable problem of homelessness for years, has paid for more than 550 families to leave the city since 2007,\u2019 and yet he says we\u2019re committing ‘national suicide\u2019 with the Arizona law. <\/p>\n

He said, ‘We had to kick \u2019em out of the city of New York because we have to keep \u2019em out of our expensive shelter system.\u2019 It costs $36,000 a year per family to keep them in the shelter system, so it\u2019s cheaper to send them a one-way plane ticket anywhere else. ‘All it takes is for a relative elsewhere to agree to take the family in.\u2019 That\u2019s all it takes. By the way, you\u2019re not hearing much about this, but there\u2019s going to be a vote pretty soon on Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state. (interruption) Well, did they have the vote this morning? (interruption) They\u2019re voting now on it. Well, there are not too many reporting it. I\u2019ve only seen it on Fox and one other blog. ‘Is this not the height of hypocrisy, though? ‘We\u2019re committing national suicide,\u2019 Bloomberg says. ‘This is horrible,\u2019 and he\u2019s kicking people out of the city and paying for them to go. It\u2019s the same premise: They can\u2019t sustain paying for people who are not producing anything.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the mayor of New York, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday in New York City.<\/p>\n

BLOOMBERG: If other states adopt this it\u2019s very bad for the country. If they\u2019re the only ones, it\u2019s good for New York because people will come here. We make sure that we protect everybody, and we want anybody that, if they need medical care, to get it. This is a very bad law.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Okay, so the governor of Arizona can now ship them to not only San Francisco, but to New York. While he\u2019s kicking the homeless out, he\u2019s welcoming illegal immigrants into town and promising them medical care, in New York City.
