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

RUSH: This is Luis Gutierrez<\/a>. He\u2019s a Democrat in Chicago. He was on The O\u2019Baxter Factor last night, and the question: “It\u2019s interesting. The people who have children who are American citizens who\u2019ve been here between five and 10 years — they submit a fingerprint, do background check on \u2019em, and, if they\u2019re clean — they can stay and get working papers, and get on the books, and then citizenship is right down the road.”<\/p>\n

GUTIERREZ: There is no citizenship! The president has no authority. Only through an act of Congress can they ever be granted citizenship.<\/p>\n

O\u2019BAXTER: Okay.<\/p>\n

GUTIERREZ: Think of it this way. Here\u2019s how I look at it. It\u2019s like he\u2019s gonna set them aside and say, “I\u2019m not gonna prosecute these people.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. So here\u2019s how this works. So O\u2019Baxter there says, “And eventually, Luis, they\u2019re gonna get citizenship, right?” “Oh, noooo, no, no, no, no! No, no, noooo. You misunderstand! There is no citizenship. The president has no authority. Only through an act of Congress can…” Luis, do you understand what you\u2019re saying here? He has no authority to do what he\u2019s gonna do, either! <\/line><\/p>\n

He has no authority to grant this pardon, unless they call it that. That would be interesting, if they call this a pardon. If the president wants to pardon five million illegals. But they\u2019re not calling it that. They\u2019re saying, “We\u2019re suspending deportation.” Everybody knows what\u2019s going on here. They are being granted amnesty. For Gutierrez to say, “No, no! The president has no authority to grant citizenship.” <\/p>\n

You know how this works? Here\u2019s exactly what\u2019s gonna happen. A short period of time after this action is taken — and it will be “a short period of time.” It isn\u2019t gonna take very long. It will happen next year. But let\u2019s say all this happens on Friday. Obama… By the way, what do you think is gonna come first, the grand jury decision in Ferguson or Obama announcing amnesty on Friday? What do you think\u2019s gonna happen first? <\/p>\n

Or do you think they\u2019re gonna happen at the same time? We\u2019re gonna get the grand jury decision and then we\u2019re gonna have a rebirth of the Sixties civil rights era. In fact, they\u2019re out there selling it that way. You have John Lewis and all these guys, “It\u2019s gonna be Selma all over again!” They\u2019re so excited about it. They\u2019re excited about the grand jury coming down to Ferguson with a no-true bill, meaning no indictment.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re excited about that. They are promoting this thing. They want there to be no indictment of the cop. They want to be able to riot in the streets. They want to be able to reenact Selma. They want to reenact the civil rights battles of the sixties. It\u2019s amazing! They all want to go back to the good old days. They all want to go back to the nostalgic good old days where they made their bones and relive it and do it all over again. <\/p>\n

I got audio sound bites to prove this. <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Obama going to Vegas. He\u2019s gonna announce amnesty, whatever, on Friday. And in St. Louis, the civil rights groups have put out this list of targets that they want the protestors to hit. They are businesses and industries that have nothing to do with what happened in Ferguson, like Anheuser-Busch, like Emerson Electric. (That\u2019s a big power company there.) It\u2019s a long list. It\u2019s a riot list. <\/p>\n

“These are the targets. Here\u2019s a place to go! Set this on fire, blow up that place, whatever.” (laughing) It\u2019s right out in the open, right out in front of us. So the question is: Do we get split screen of this on Friday, a slow news day, and then maybe will Ray Rice\u2019s suspension be lifted and it be announced he can play in the NFL? Whether anybody will pick him up or not\u2019s another thing. <\/p>\n

Okay. What time will Obama announce amnesty on Friday? Okay, he\u2019s gonna be in Vegas. So that puts him on Pacific time. So he\u2019s not gonna do it before the program ends. So three p.m. Eastern\u2019s noon there. He\u2019s just getting to work, on a normal day. I would say he\u2019s gonna time this to ruin as many Friday nights as he can. Maybe earlier in the day, the grand jury in Ferguson will reveal whatever they\u2019re going to reveal. <\/p>\n

Oh, man, the left is so excited, folks! They got a twofer coming up here. I mean, it is the good old days. They\u2019re gonna actually bring the sixties back to life and reenact and redo everything. The same old people that were doing it back in the sixties are gonna find themselves in Ferguson and in St. Louis. Anyway, what\u2019s gonna happen here when Obama does this whenever he does it on Friday.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Luis Gutierrez here says, “No, no. There is no citizenship. Only through an act of Congress can they ever be granted citizenship.” Which makes me laugh. Only through an act of Congress can they get citizenship? Well, only through an act of Congress can Obama do what he\u2019s gonna do, but he\u2019s gonna do it anyway without one. <\/p>\n

So what\u2019s gonna happen sometime soon, next year — it won\u2019t be long — Chuck Schumer or some other prominent Democrat will miraculously appear before microphones and cameras, and he\u2019ll have a look of pained suffering on his face, and he\u2019ll say that he\u2019s very conflicted. He\u2019s still joyous and celebratory and happy over the fact that we, via President Obama\u2019s executive action, have opened the doors of our country to five million of the greatest people in the world. <\/p>\n

“But what were we thinking when we did not grant them citizenship? What good is allowing them to stay here legally if they can\u2019t vote? What kind of country are we? What has happened to us? How, on the one hand, could we grant them permanent permission to stay in our country, and at the same time deny them the most valuable right, the most precious right that our citizens have — and that is the right to vote?<\/p>\n

“How in the world could we have denied that? What were we thinking?” So the effort will be launched to grant them citizenship, and if the Republicans oppose it — which they won\u2019t — then Obama will come back and do another executive action claiming, “Well, Reagan did it, and Bush did it.” <\/p>\n

This is all about six months from now. And the New York Times has a story here today. It\u2019s the same thing. “Obama\u2019s Executive Order on Immigration –” Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold it. Did the New York Times not get the memo? This is not an executive order. Because Reagan didn\u2019t do an executive order. Reagan didn\u2019t do any executive action. What do you mean, executive order? That\u2019s not what this is. Well, it is, you know. But the AP, the Drive-Bys are trying to tell us this is what Reagan did. Anyway, the headline of the New York Times<\/a> piece: “Obama\u00c2\u2019s Executive Order on Immigration Is Unlikely to Include Health Benefits.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, you can\u2019t convince me Jonathan Gruber\u2019s not somewhere in this story. How stupid do they think we are? We\u2019re gonna grant amnesty, but it doesn\u2019t contain citizenship, and it doesn\u2019t contain health care? (laughing) Right. How stupid do they think we are? No health benefits, no health insurance, no citizenship. We\u2019re just gonna grant them temporary amnesty against deportation. So it\u2019s gonna be the same drill. After this happens, a short time later, Chuck Schumer will be back at the microphones, after crying over the fact that we forgot to make them citizens. <\/p>\n

He\u2019ll do it again. He\u2019ll say, “What kind of country are we? What were we thinking? This shows just how much farther we have to go to be a good people, to be a good country. What were we thinking? Five million people who have worked and struggled and have been separated from their families, and they\u2019ve paid taxes, and they\u2019ve made this country what it is, and we are denying them health care benefits? Who in the hell do we think we are? How did this travesty happen?” And the move will be on to grant them health care benefits and citizenship within six months of Obama\u2019s executive action. You know it and I know it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
