Rush Limbaugh Transcript on Immigration (Today's show)

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.

Rush has defined the Senate Immigration Bill as a gambit to restructure US society and expand the federal government and it's entitlement programs, AND end the popular conservative movement, in one swell foop.

I am afraid he is right. What are we going to do about it?

(The parallels to the slavery debate of the 1830s, the maintenance of a work force underclass are actually amazing to me. Illegal alien employers are the plantation owners, and supporters of the Senate Immigration Bill are taking their politics from Calhoun, while conservatives think that immigrants should be free men who contribute to the socio economic strength of the country, not bleed it dry and change our nation irretrievably to one with a permanant group of underclass citizens who are equivalent to slaves and indentured servants to the blue blood aristocrats of the Republican and Democratic parties.)

I know, Rush has been pretty reticent to lay much of this on Bush, and I can empathize. I had to go through a few months of denial, having been a long-time supporter of GW, going back to his governorship. I kept thinking SURELY our President is just preoccupied with the WOT, and didn't REALLY mean that the MinuteMen were vigilantes. SURELY our President doesn't want such an amnesty travesty. SURELY he doesn't want to basically destroy the culture and composition of our country. Surely this, surely that. But, after a while, I just have to wake up...It's been particularly hard on much of my family. Especially my sister. We made trips to Crawford, bought the oddball memorabilia; went to the Bush Library at College Station, etc. Nowadays, just the sight of GW on the television, and I see my relatives turn away their gaze, silently. It's really too upsetting for them to even air things out with talk.

I think Bush has been terrific on the WOT, taxes and judges. Otherwise, his policies have often been head-scratchers from the very beginning.

In short, Rush is saying what many of us have been screaming for a long time, namely that the Congress and the government more generally, is usurping power from the people.

We are headed for government of the people, by the government, for the government.

The judicial branch keeps usurping power via "discretion" which essentially allows any judge to do whatever the hell he pleases, which is why all kinds of child molestors e.g. are released with minimal to no punishments. The legislature is legislating its way into a choke hold on the people via treasonous laws in the areas of "campaign finance reform" and now this immigration BS. The executive Branch under W is feigning conservatism while all the while stabbling conservatives in the back.

It's getting out of hand, and America's citizens had better be prepared to do something about it.

Funny how the Beltway crowd (Fred Barnes, et al) are so dismissive of the "Talk Radio" crowd these days.

Note to White House and the RNC: dismiss "Talk Radio" at your own peril!

Well, I figured I could let my theories about OWG go for another day. I tend to go off in tangents and never reach my point if I stray too far.

But, yes - you are exactly right. And I am very wary.

It appears the lawyer doesn't want to speak up.

Perhaps he's decided to get in one of his jets and fly away.

It was a fancy way of saying that Rush should stfu and blindly support the President.

Yeah but he's a smart one. He has no doubts that this bill is DOA as far as the people are concerned.

He has a tendency to do that. Trash someone and not return to stand his ground. He's been on the Mark Levin thread, trashing him, too. For an attorney and retired 0-6 (check out his page) something seems to be lacking.

The Republicans up for reelection voted against the bill. That will tell you what's really going on. They know where the American people are on this.

I noticed this as well. They keep doing this it seems, which is a part of politics. But what's the answer? If no strong opponents run in the primaries...

Enforcing the law also means deporting illegal aliens. Don't hold your breath waiting for any office holder to actually obey the law and do this. America is being transformed into something else- come to California and see your future.

Listen pal. I don't need your lectures. I could preach this stuff to you. I am a realist not an altruist. I was probably voting before you were born. And last year I paid 64k in Federal income taxes, so don't talk to me about the government confiscation. Back off.

My senators from Minnesota have gone to the dark side already...Dayton and Coleman.

I'd run against these barstids myself if I could behave myself long enough to get elected. Minnesota is a vast wasteland of "feelings," ambiguity and nuance. Nobody thinks ahead further than about 30 minutes.

I think that Bush and Rove had some idiotic idea that supporting Specter would ensure Bush would carry Pennsylvania.

"conspiracy by hyperbole."

Rush's statement that the majority of Senators (RINOs and liberals, specifically) desire above all else to increase their power by increasing the size of the federal gov't by creating an ever larger dependent class of citizenry (in this particular case by giving tens of millions of foreign lawbreakeres amnesty) is far from either conspiratorial or hyperbolic. It's what they attempt to do on a daily basis.
