RUSH: Now, folks, as I say, I've got all this figured out, and when I told you this wasn't about immigration, I was right; and when I told you that what this is really all about is the Democrats wanting and needing some new victims, I was right; and when I said this was all about politicians, particularly Democrats wanting new voters, I was right. But I was not a hundred percent right. I was close. To sum this up -- very simply -- what this bill is, this is not an immigration bill. What is being done here is being done under the guise of immigration reform. What this is, is a huge attempt by certain politicians, mostly moderate and liberal Democrats and moderate Republicans, to expand the federal government, to increase the numbers of people in poverty in this country by importing them via this immigration bill, which will set up the need to expand the "social safety" net in this country, which will then empower those who believe in big government.
It is also designed to provide a free flow of cheap labor for businesses that want to access it, and with the few limits on legal immigration that this bill imposes, we're no longer talking just about Mexicans. We now can import workers from all over the world who want to come in for the purposes of achieving and accessing the American dream, and believe me, if certain American businesses want to get labor cheaper than what they have to pay Mexican immigrants, they want to get them from Ethiopia, they want to get them from Sudan, here's an opportunity to do it. It really is no more complicated than that. I mean, you cannot read this bill and conclude anything else. This bill is senseless.

Regarding Mark Levin, I've said all I plan to say about him. My opinions could not be more clear. They are conclusions not critiques of specific comments or positions. Not every overarching conclusion warrants oral dissertation-like validation or verification. Opinions by their very nature are generalized impressions from inputs that are evaluated as a whole rather than in microscopic detail.
well i think your opinion stinks....thats MY opinion
rush is dead on this time
My God - stop with the elitist, intellectualist crap, already.
Throw those credentials out there..... blah, blah, blah.....
And, at the end of that little tyrade of supposed superior qualifications, you use the phrase.....
"Ain't gonna happen."
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Yes, how intellectually, morally superior you are!
Step off of it, will you? I'm really tired of hearing your degrading comments without an ounce of rational thought to back it up.
I am very critical of this administration. In all honesty, I gain no pleasure from it. If folks think I relish dogging the party I grew up in, they're sadly mistaken.
Talk show host George Putnam has been a life-long Democrat. He's as conservative as anyone. He refuses to change parties saying, "I never left the Democrat party. It left me."
These days I know exactly what he means.
I couldn't respect myself if I stood by and said nothing in objection to the Senate bill that has just been voted out.
The Bush administration is convinced it is right. I don't think I've seen an administration that I wanted to be able to support, be more wrong than this, in my lifetime.
Good night. I hope you've enjoyed our joust. It's time to say good night and have a fine weekend. I'll be at a veterans cemetery near Tampa on Monday for a memorial service, perhaps we'll meet and carry this further. I'll be the fellow in an Air Force blue service dress uniform with a lovely blonde wife of 39 years by my side.
And, he'll probably be the one wringing his hands in sequence with the rest of the small intellectual, elitist crowd that even bothers themselves to show up at a Memorial Day service.
Time for another bakesale.
yep where's dan when you need him.
"Weekly Standard circul"Funny how the Beltway crowd (Fred Barnes, et al) are so dismissive of the "Talk Radio" crowd these days."
Fred Barnes is a stooge."
Weekly Standard circulation is 60,000. I'm sure Rush and Hannity et al are crying in their beer, being dissed by such a powerful pundit.
You are right that it is, indeed, insane.
You are wrong by labeling it a "liberal" reaction.
Lot's of Republicans gave the nod to this.
Wait a minute....Republicans.....no way!
But they did!
Man, that sure smells like the Liberal line of thinking.
Could it be........???
it's late, not being a smart a$$, just venting.
Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!

A few other thoughts on this. Jumpin Jim Jeffords isn't running for re-election and the House can't filibuster anything, just sh**t can it.
Rush supports President Bush as do I on the most important issue of the day. The War Against Islamo Fascism. Bush's position on immigration is unfortunately the same as the great Ronald Reagan and no one can possibly believe Ronald Reagan was not conservative. For his conservative credentials look at a world map in 1980 and then look at another one in 1991.
So as conservatives we need to grow up a little. First off we should avoid at all costs the Paleo-Con position of the Pat Buchanans of the movement. This is the road to marginalization and defeat. As is the Frist/McCain big business butt kissing and pandering to the MSM to be seen as enlightened.
To me there is a middle ground that can be found mostly in the House but also in the Senate. You address this issue I think nationally with two words security and assimilation. The "wall" is a must but so is allowing immigrants into the United States not just from Mexico but from all over the world. A set number per year with assimilation being the goal.
As for those here now you do the Mike Pense plan of encouraging them to deport themselves. You stop the transferring of funds from here to Mexico. Anyone who is using government taxpayer funded services, i.e. public schools. Must first prove their citizenship, if they can't then adios.
There are numerous examples and methods that can't possibly be placed on here. But you address this issue with two hands as we did in fighting the Cold War. On the one hand you welcome people who want to be Americans making it as easy as possible for them to do so. On the other hand you enforce the law, make life hell for current illegals and especially for the people who hire them. You put a wall on the border and make it as close to impossible as you can to sneak into the country and you do whatever is necessary to fix Mexico.
One last thing. Does Mike DeWine of Ohio really not want to be a Senator anymore?
I heard Mort Kondracke on Hugh Hewitt's replacement say today -- "You conservative Talk Show guys are whipping up the conservatives against the President's REALLY GOOD PLAN." He was really bent out of shape. They did not let him get away with it, but it gave me a clue of the Beltway Thinking.
Try Fort Collins Co.

DITTOHEAD68 ADDED: "After all - protecting our borders and our sovereignty is ACTUALLY one of the powers that the Constitution grants to the function of the government."
DITTOHEAD68 ADDED: "How long will we put up with the government doing everything BUT what it is actually given the power to do?"
EXCELLENT POINTS!!! I especially like the last one!
"By targeting all business owners and renters who have knowingly hired illegals with jail time and enormous fines, the illegals will be dropped from their jobs like hot potatoes.
The vast majority will head for home and stay there. As it is, most visit their home at least once a year anyway."
We start tightening the screws with lots of publicity and public announcements, over a period say three years we keep imposing a shrinking list of options for illegals, until even the ones that have been here a long time take their winnings and go home to relative prosperity.
