Time Text
All right, now look, some of you people need to calm down out there.
I've been reading the emails here at the top, and you think I'm missing the boat when I say this is not about illegal immigration.
I'm I'm talking to you about the reason that the Democratic Party has glommed onto this and who the organizers are and what their objective.
Of course it's about illegal immigration.
It's a way to create chaos.
It's a way to tear down the country.
But it's primarily by getting them back in power.
Greetings and welcome back.
Rushlin ball, the EIB network.
800-282-2882 is the phone number if you want to be on the program.
I am not diminishing the impact of illegal immigration on this.
You should see the emails I got.
You're going off the reservation.
You're being sucked into not believing what this is really.
I'm not being sucked into anything.
I am thinking independently here.
I am not saying illegal immigration is not the problem.
I'm saying it's simply the latest springboard.
It's the latest vehicle.
Uh I've I know two weeks have been covering this.
I'm I'm just, I'm I'm talking now about the motivations and the opportunity that illegal immigration presents.
Ted Kennedy doesn't really care about these people the way he's speaking to them.
He only cares about them as voters.
And whatever harm illegal immigration en masse would do to the country is of no consequence to him.
In fact, the more chaos the better.
He can blame it all on the Republicans for their attitudes.
He'd blame the Republicans for creating this angry population group of people.
By the way, I got an interesting note.
We had the call from uh from Weston in Philadelphia, uh, who said that uh the Democrats are trying to create the chaos here.
They want the chaos to be created so that the people will eventually throw their hands up in despair and turn to some powerful state or figure to fix it.
And uh guy from Sykston, which is about thirty miles south of where I grew up in Missouri, Cape Girardo, he said, with all due respect, the caller was wrong about states taking over responsibility given up by the federal government.
He's ignoring history, but I don't think he meant states.
I think he meant the state, the federal government.
Uh but the Greek and Roman empires were destroyed from within by the influx of non-Romans and non-Greeks and apathy about it all.
The great civilizations in history crumbled by a failure of a strong leader to hold together the diverse culture's conqueror.
Will Durant said that.
And so if you wanted to apply that to this, uh, you would have to say that there is no strong leader holding together the country.
Uh and so the great civilization is potentially crumbling because nobody has the guts to stop the evil conqueror.
Now, nobody's saying that illegal immigration represents an evil conqueror.
That would be Al Qaeda, and Bush, of course, is rallying the country to that.
But this does have its own implications.
Now, just to just to once again demonstrate that I'm not off the reservation on immigration, let me tell you, it's a very fine line here.
But I have some excerpts from a floor speech made by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama about the bill.
This is a 500-page bill, and most of the Senate has not even seen it.
They've not read it all.
Um perhaps their staff digging deep and reading it now, but some of the stuff in here is shocking.
Now, what the point of this is to show you just how desperate some of these senators are in both parties to try to try to go out and get the votes of these illegal immigrants.
So, yes, it's about illegal immigration, but it's just the vehicle, the wreck that would result is irrelevant right now.
Let me just get read some excerpts from this speech.
Describing the bill.
This is Jeff Sessions.
Let us take loophole number one.
Absconders and some individuals with felonies or three misdemeanors are not barred from getting amnesty.
An absconder is somebody who was apprehended by border patrol people, detained.
They didn't have time to take him or her out of the country.
They were busy.
They didn't have jail space, detention space for them, so they released them on bail.
That is why they what they do all over the country because we don't take this seriously, and they don't show up when they're supposed to be deported.
Surprise they abscond.
Absconders and some individuals with felonies or three misdemeanors are not barred from getting amnesty.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, different crimes make aliens Inadmissible, deportable, or ineligible for specific benefits.
Absconders, aliens with final orders of removal, who are currently watched by ICE immigration officers, should not be eligible for amnesty.
They remain eligible for amnesty in this bill.
The Kyle Corning amendment that was blocked by the other side, so we couldn't get a vote on it, was designed to fix this loophole.
It would keep aliens with felony convictions or three misdemeanors from being eligible for the new amnesty program, but they're not because they prevented a vote on this.
So Absconders and some individuals with felonies or three misdemeanors are not barred from getting amnesty.
You think that's by accident?
It's not by accident when you listen to Mrs. Clinton and other Democrats talk about how we need to extend the vote to convicted felons.
Well, if we're going to extend the vote to convicted felons, and if illegal immigration is all about voting and getting the votes of illegal immigrants, then why the hell are we going to kick out illegal immigrant felons?
Loophole number two, aliens specifically barred from receiving immigration benefits for life because they filed a frivolous asylum application will also be able to receive amnesty.
So it's not just that they are here illegally, it is if they have committed illegal acts while here illegally, they still will get amnesty in the Senate bill.
Now, if you understand it it's it's it's not because well, it's hard to say it's not because of X, Y, or Z, but it's primarily because this pool of people is looked at two to ten years from now as a massive voting block by both parties.
Well, mostly Democrats, but some Republicans, just inexplicably here, most of them in the Senate.
Loophole number three.
All aliens who are subject to a final order of removal.
For some reason you're brought up and the courts ordered you removed from the country.
If you fail to leave pursuant to a voluntary departure agreement, they entered into these agreements, and oftentimes people promise to leave and they never leave, or who are subject to the reinstatement of a final order of removal because they illegally re-entered after being ordered removed from the United States are also eligible for amnesty.
So if you've been ordered to leave and you haven't left, if you've been ordered to leave because it's been adjudged that you uh have violated the laws of the country, you still get amnesty under the Senate bill.
It makes total sense, Mr. Snurley, when you understand my whole point.
It makes total sense when you understand the objective of the people who wrote this bill.
The Republicans and Democrats who wrote this bill, it may they don't want any of these people to ever leave, and they want these people to know that they, the ones in the Senate, the Republicans and Democrats, are the reason that they are being uh uh basically insulated from any law in this country short of murder.
But there are six loopholes, this just the first three.
Uh sessions says after after uh uh mentioning this in his four speech, I call on my colleagues to look at the bill.
On page three fifty-three, line three, the bill clearly states that any alien with a final order of removal can apply for amnesty.
This means that the aliens who have already received their day in court, have had their case fully litigated, and they have been ordered removed and have failed to depart will now be rewarded for not following the law and leaving like they were ordered to do.
They will qualify for this amnesty.
Don't say it makes no sense.
It makes perfect sense when you understand the objective of the writers of the of the legislation.
Here's loophole number four.
Aliens who illegally entered the country multiple times are also eligible for amnesty.
Page 334, line eight requires continuous physical presence, and states that an alien must not have departed from the United States before April 5th, 2006, except for brief, casual or innocent departures.
Every time the alien re-enters the United States illegally, they're committing a criminal offense, but this bill rewards those aliens with amnesty also.
Loophole number five.
This bill allows aliens who have persecuted anyone on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political Opinion to get amnesty.
It fails to make persecutors ineligible for amnesty.
I would have thought that was an oversight till I noticed on page 363, line 22 that the bill makes those heinous acts bar aliens here between two and five years for amnesty, but not those who have been here longer.
The same bar left out for the 8.8 million who have been here for more than five years.
This will be interpreted as an intentional decision of Congress when we pass this bill.
This is not inadvertent.
I don't know why they did that.
Aliens who have persecuted anyone on account of race, religion, nationality.
Pointy, you go try try any of this in Mexico, and you're in jail.
I read with you, I read to you the Limbaugh laws not long ago.
Maybe time to go through those again at some point if you can find that print the file.
Loophole number six.
There is no continuous presence or continuous work requirement for amnesty.
To be eligible to adjust from illegal to legal status under the bill, the alien must simply have been physically present in the United States on April 5th, 2001, and have been employed continuously in the United States for three of the five years since that date.
The bill does not say employed continuously in the United States since that date, as some have said.
It does not require that employment be full time, which means that it will be interpreted by any fair court following the law to mean that the alien will be eligible for amnesty if they have been employed in the United States either full-time, part-time, seasonally, or self-employed.
Loophole number seven.
The bill tells the Department of Homeland Security to accept, quote, just and reasonable inferences, unquote, from day labor centers as evidence of an alien meeting the bill's work requirements.
So DHS has to accept inferences, not evidence that an alien is actually working.
Under the bill, an alien can conclusively establish that he was employed in the United States, and it can be either full, part-time, seasonally, or self-employed by presenting documents from Social Security, the Internal Revenue Service, or an employer related to employment.
The alien meets the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the alien has satisfied the requirements.
If the alien can demonstrate such employment as a matter of just reasonable inference.
Now, if you can just have a reasonable inference that you have worked and get a document from a day labor center, you meet the work requirements.
Everybody will meet it.
No illegal alien will left behind.
The bill then states this it is the intent of Congress that the work requirement be interpreted and implemented in a manner that recognizes and takes into account the difficulties encountered by aliens in obtaining evidence that employment due to the undocumented status of the alien.
The invitation is there to abuse the system, the invitation for fraud is clear.
The INS, the uh Department of Homeland Security has to accept by inference.
In other words, folks, this is blanket amnesty, and there's no requirements, and there are few restrictions whatsoever.
Loophole number eight.
The bill benefits only those who broke the law, not those who followed it and got work visas to come to the United States.
That's a plain fact.
If you were here legally on or before April 5, 2001, you will not get the benefit of this amnesty.
This amnesty benefits you only if you came here illegally.
Now imagine that.
Loophole number nine, the essential worker permanent immigration program for nonagriculture low-skilled workers leaves no illegal alien out.
It is not limited to people outside the U.S. who want to come here to work in the future, but includes illegal aliens currently present in the U.S. who do not qualify for the amnesty program in Title VI, including aliens here for less than two years.
Under the bill language, you can qualify for this new program to work as a low-skilled permanent immigrant, even if you are unlawfully present in the United States.
Now, I I read you this, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, because I wanted you to know what Session said in his floor speech, the details of the bill.
So you're not confused when I when I say it's not about illegal immigration, it of course is.
Look at how the whole concept of our immigrant immigration process is being destroyed, wrecked.
It's being rendered worthless.
All for the purposes of the empowerment of this country's left, the socialists, the anti conservatives, whoever, the Democratic Party.
And this is the extent to which they are willing to go in order to try to put back together a coalition of voters, and they don't care who they are or where they've come from.
They doesn't matter to them.
The poorer, the dumber, the better.
And they want it, they'll just they are so willing to wreck the nation's national security with their position on the war in Iraq and the war on terror.
Now they're willing to wreck the immigration system with the help of some foolhardy Republicans who for some reason have this fear of alienating these people and making them mad.
This is what they're willing to do in order to get their power back, hopefully again to never lose it.
And that's what's inspiring and motivating this, and that's the point that I have been drilling and pounding home.
All glorious broadcast day.
We will be back in a moment.
Okay, some audio soundbites.
I'll get to your phone calls in the next uh in the next half hour, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's go to yesterday, the emigration rally in Washington at the National Mall.
This is a uh a portion of Senator Kennedy's remarks.
He had his translator out there.
He looks out over the masses, the huddled, suffering, starving, thirsting masses.
And he tells them he sees the future of America.
The uh funny thing about this is that he's got this translator out there.
He pauses every sentence, translator translates it.
And then near the end of his remarks here, he uh he he he says something and encourages the uh the uh assembled masses to uh repeat what he says, and they don't even wait for the translator to repeat it, because most of them speak English.
Here's the bit.
Let me ask you some questions.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Stop the tape.
Do you hear the translator asking them if they are ready in Spanish?
No.
They're not Spanish.
They're not Spanish.
They may be bilingual, but these are these are not the people that you have been led to believe they are, ladies and gentlemen.
Do you have a good job?
Stop the tape.
Stop the tape.
Stop you hear this.
I want to play the cue this back to the beginning, Mike, because he asks them, do you have a good job?
They say no before the translator even translates this.
So you see what this is.
Okay, listen to it.
Now that you know what's happening, listen for the crowd to respond before the translator responds to uh what what Senator Kennedy is saying.
Let me ask you some questions.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Do you have a good job?
Do you love your family?
Yes!
Come on, are you family?
Yes!
Hey!
Do you love your community?
Do you love America?
Do you love America?
All right, so I'll tell you, they must they've all well, no, I think they don't have good jobs.
Uh uh it's hard to tell.
I mean, they've they answered the questions the way Senator Kennedy wanted answered.
I mean, he says, Do you have a good job?
They were shouting no.
Of course, they must not have jobs, period.
What are they doing there in such numbers?
It's too bad, you know, that this translator wasn't there when Senator Kennedy was making a speech at the Clinton rally.
Uh, see if we can get that.
Uh I I don't I don't see it on the soundbite list here.
Uh see if we can get that, because if he'd had a translator, we might today understand what it was Senator Kennedy was saying when he was introducing Bill Clinton at a rally.
I think this is back in uh 1995.
We'll have that for you in the uh in the next segment.
Because if you haven't heard that, uh it's hilarious.
We have another Kennedy bite, but there's not enough time to squeeze this one in uh before the before the break.
So any Mike are we working on getting the Kennedy bit.
The uh you know have it for right after the break.
Yeah, this is uh everybody thinks they know what he is saying.
I've had people I know what he's saying, Rush.
He's not saying anything, but it would have been fun to have a translator there, nevertheless.
Um see what the translator came up with.
Well, well, if you haven't heard it, we'll play it for you.
If you have, you will revel in reliving this great moment.
Oh, about ten years ago.
Yo, Rushbow, back after this.
Stay right where you are.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Never get tired of having that uh said.
We're here on the EIB network, and before we get to Senator Kennedy, folks, you remember.
Last week we had a uh what we thought was a new trend in uh in an SUV updates, and SUV actually gave its life in Utah so that a family could survive in an avalanche.
The family was from St. Louis, and we actually have one of the members of the family from St. Louis on the phone.
This is Mary Beth, who uh whose life was spayed life was spared by uh the uh brilliant sacrifice of the SUV.
Thank you for calling us.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Fine.
It is such an honor to talk to you.
We have been longtime listeners since I was in college back in ninety two.
So it's been a long time.
Um but yeah, I I don't know if you've seen any pictures of the SUV.
Um, but it was completely demolished, and that we all walked away without a scratch is just a testimony to that awesome vehicle, and those engineers should be really proud of the vehicle they built because it performed incredibly.
We were just so slammed by that avalanche.
Well, you plunged a hundred feet from what the story I had said.
Yes.
Yeah.
And the SUV ended up on its hood.
Uh you had you had all the children strapped in the seat belts, and everybody got out.
They were a little shaken up, but uh everybody everybody survived the SUV died.
Yes, exactly.
I mean, it it hit and broke every window on the passenger side, and the snow started to fill the car, and then we were airborne.
And uh and landed, you know, and it fell a little more on us, and then we were able to those boys were good heroes.
And they truly were the here you know, they kicked out the window and got all our kids out and helped us get them up the mountain.
But um, you know, if we wouldn't have been in a car like that, we would have never survived.
That car performed so well.
And and and even when the boys had said after he met us at the airport when we were leaving that he drives a small car and he's thinking about getting a bigger car.
I mean, a small car would have never survived it.
Nope, that's true.
Nor would you.
Yes.
We feel so blessed.
I mean, not one stitch.
Everyone was climbed out of there.
So I know well you know you're you're very fortunate because most SUVs, uh, some of them have turned on their uh on on their passengers and and uh for some reason yours loved you.
I I guess well maybe it was because I'm a ditto head.
Uh this you're you know, you're absolutely right about this.
The uh uh in terms of the quality and the and the design of these vehicles.
Uh why won't you tell us what kind it was?
It was a Nissan Armada.
A Nissan Armada.
Yes.
And and Nissan should be so proud of that, because I don't think you can really test for this.
And and we were so pummeled in i it was just so you know, just an assault on your senses, pretty much.
Are you uh are you gonna get another one?
I drive an SUV now.
Uh it's a different brand, but uh I am very partial now.
Well, I don't blame you at all.
And it's a you know it it's it's it's great that uh that you called.
It's great that you heard about this, and um we're we're all so happy that your family survived this because it was uh I mean a hundred foot plunge in an avalanche, that's that's hard to imagine even going through.
Yeah.
Uh so uh all the best to you, Mary Beth.
Thank you.
You bet's my pleasure.
You know, can I be honest with you people about something?
Did you hear what she said at the beginning of the phone call?
She said, I've been listening to you since 1992.
Uh when I first heard of this when I when I hear of how do I explain this to you people without you thinking I've lost touch.
Um whenever anybody in this country is in a news story, I know that they are listeners.
I I just I just know it.
I know that every time I talk about somebody in a news story that they are it's like this guy whose dog died, Jake, over in uh the West Coast of Florida, his dog was a big fan.
Dog dies, I'm in the story.
So it's uh it's a flattering thing.
It just it just is.
All right, here's now Senator K. Oh, by the way, folks, in case you haven't heard about this, our friends at the Weekly World News, and we love the weekly world news, and one of the greatest sources of news in America is reporting today.
Nigel Fleming of the great work uncovering this story, the uh the B.S. Raleigh Tobacco Company fighting back.
Uh they're tired of people enjoying their products for free, so they have filed a five billion dollar class action lawsuit to penalize millions of secondhand smokers.
Frank Thermal, the uh president of Raleigh Tobacco, said if people ain't gonna buy our cigarettes, they shouldn't be able to enjoy other people's smoke.
B.S. Raleigh, which gives consumers a complimentary lung x-ray with every 50 cartons smoked.
Currently employs 3,000 people, but Frank Thermal expects that number to double when on leave workers return from cancer, emphysema, and heart disease treatment.
Frank Thermal.
And no, Ed Anger's not the reporter, Nigel Fleming did the great work.
And uh this is the publication that it had me, I don't know how they found out about it, had me meeting with aliens in New Orleans uh back in uh in the early 90s.
The aliens were getting trying to get me to run for president.
And no, I know you didn't leak it.
We don't know who leaked it.
They had pictures.
They they had uh they had they had pictures uh and uh they splashed them all over the cover.
Here's here's Ted Kennedy, October 20th, 1994 on the campaign trail in Massachusetts.
This is the bite where it would be really helpful if he had a translator.
Is this Clinton country?
Hillary Clinton!
And after we all do what needs to be done for the next two and a half weeks, and we elect Mark Roosevelt as our governor, and you re-elect.
And you re-elect old Kennedy in the United States Senate.
We're going to sort on the 96 campaign to elect Bill Clinton as a re-elect him on the night.
We're going to start the night.
I love that every time I hear this.
Now we uh we also have this on a repeater.
We have uh we we've edited so that it repeats, but we uh uh so far in our massive computer library have been unable to find that, but we will before the program's over if it's if it survived our move uh to uh to hard drive digital.
I'm sure that it did.
Now back to Senator Kennedy at the uh immigration rally in Washington yesterday.
Um these are remarks without the translator.
Some in Congress want to turn America away from its true spirit.
They believe immigrants are criminals and they're wrong.
They believe any of us who help immigrants, even our priests, are criminals too.
They're wrong again.
They say you should report to deport.
I say report and become American citizens.
And remember what this is uh this is these are people supposedly the illegal immigrant population, they understand a lot of English in this crowd, which what does it tell you?
It tells you that most of these people are just the average usual random mob members uh from the American left.
I'm I'm sure there's a sizable component here of uh of uh illegal aliens, but uh Senator Kennedy uh as as are all the people on the left lying to these people about what the um uh what the bill is about.
Here now is Senator Kennedy once again invoking uh the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King uh and uh talking about the new civil rights movement.
More than four decades ago, near This place, Martin Luther King called on the nation to let freedom ring.
Freedom did ring, and freedom can ring again.
It's time for Americans to lift their voices now in pride for our immigrant past and in pride for our immigrant future.
We stand for the future.
We stand for our families.
We stand for our faith.
And I stand with you and you and you and you.
Are you with me?
*Sigh*
Here's the big finish.
Teddy's big finish begs the aliens to support the Democrats.
And then he ends up with some unintelligible Spanish.
John McCain and I have a plan.
It's a strong plan.
It's a fair plan.
It's a plan for America's future.
Will you support us?
Yeah!
Will you support us?
Yeah!
Will you support us?
Yeah!
We will never give up.
We will never give in.
This is reminds me of Tom Harkin at the Wellstone Memorial.
Say it for Paul!
Paul!
Hey, for Paul!
Paul!
Will you do it for Paul?
Paul!
Will you give it up for Paul?
Paul.
They've got I mean, even the same speech patterns at all of these rallies.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, we put together a little montage of Senator Kennedy speaking in Espanol.
Buenos tardes.
Gracias por darme la upper to the event.
Y gracias por demanda justicia para todos los emigrantes.
Hasta la victoria.
Yeah!
C'est quitting.
This is uh uh it is folks that it's so obvious what's happening out there.
It's ought to wake all of you up.
It's a combination of uh events, a confluence of events going on.
But here on the Democratic side, absolutely no concern for the laws of the land whatsoever, and just pandering here to what they hope will be an eventual block of voters, and let me tell you why.
Their outreach efforts have failed to persuade Americans to vote for them.
They are losing elections.
They're losing national elections, they know that they have done nothing in the last five years to to to build and swell their ranks uh in this country, and so they need to legalize felon voting, and they need these illegal immigrants from outside the country, a new victim class, a new class of poor people the Democrats can uh anoint with victim status and uh make them their charges, their wards of the state to repopulate the unions which are diminishing.
What you ultimately have here is a dying political party, a dying movement desperately trying to hang on to regain its power and doing so in ways that uh will practically ensure their doom down the road.
That's the bottom line.
Quick timeout, back with more your phone call straight ahead after this.
Their commissar is back.
Portland, Oregon, as we go back to the phones of the EIB network.
Hello, Janet.
Great to have you with us.
Uh, hello, Rushman Butt.
This is the first time that I call.
I've been listening to you for the past week and a half, and uh it it sounds like you're a conservative person, and I I've been I am conservative too.
I voted Republican um before, and I will continue to do so.
I still know that they they still reserve the conservative values, but I want to.
But there's always a waiting for the butt.
Yes, what?
Sorry?
I said I was waiting for the butt, and uh we got you you got there, so wait.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And um what I wanted to say is that you're coming across.
Uh I like I say, I'm a Hispanic American, and you're coming across like you don't want any Hispanics at all in this country.
I am a Hispanic, I'm very proud of being Hispanic American, But um I also have black hair and when I go out, people look at us different now because of all these things that are going on.
And uh I also wanted to say that I was um brought to this country when I was young, and I study here and I I worked here and now I'm a um What do you do?
What do I do?
What do you do?
Yeah.
I have my own business and we ha we own real estate.
And what you know what I'm trying to say is that w what we can't generalize that these people would be convicts in the future or would not be uh prosper it would not bring prosperity or um or bring income to the country, which they're doing.
Wait, now wait.
I uh you know, I've I've very much flattered that you found a program a week and a half ago, and I'm really impressed that you're a Republican and you voted Republican, you're gonna keep voting Republican, but uh in the first place, uh Janet, let me be frank with you here.
I have never once said uh that I don't want any Hispanics in this country.
I have never even implied it.
I don't I I haven't even I haven't even uh it's i th the whole concept of that statement is so foreign to me that I haven't even thought it.
Now, I don't know whether you actually heard me say this or well, you didn't, but you think you're hearing me or somebody's called, asked you to call here and say this.
Uh one of the two.
You also, if you if you if you think uh that I have said that everybody coming to the country is a convict will be a convict, you're not listening.
I was reading excerpts of the Senate bill reforming immigration, quote unquote, and what I was re reading to you was uh speech from Jeff Sessions, the Senator from Alabama, who was detailing how the current bill allows current illegals who are here who are violators of the law.
The word convict was not even used, still get amnesty.
I have never said everybody that comes here is going to be a criminal in terms of their activity.
I have said everybody here illegally is already a criminal according to the laws of the country.
But this is not an anti-Hispanic bias.
You know, these I don't even think this is about immigration, Janet.
I I think this is people looking for jobs, and you've got people in Congress who are seeking to take advantage of whatever is going on in order to get their votes down the road.
They're purely pandering to them.
They're not helping them, they're not serving them, they're gonna they're gonna stigmatize them with this bill if something like this ever gets signed into law.
But I have no anti-Hispanic bias.
It's absurd to think though to think so, and I'm and I'm sorry you called here and and uh and and shared that.
I don't know how you're getting that uh idea.
Uh you're drawing that conclusion because as I say, I haven't even inferred it, uh rather implied it.
Here's Val in Sanabel, Florida.
You're next on the program.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush, it's a pleasure.
Um I actually called because I'm very disappointed in my conservative party um about uh once again allowing uh this issue to be uh labeled as racist.
Uh I actually called to complain to you and all conservatives to s to to fight this, but I'm gonna speak directly to your last caller.
I am a businesswoman owned and managed companies for the last twenty years.
I am white.
I live in Florida.
I uh twenty-five percent of my current workforce is Mexican.
Legal Mexican.
I pay them thirty-five to forty-five thousand a year.
Now I will not hire illegals of any color or creed.
And the problem is this.
Ten years ago, we had another huge wave of illegal immigration into this country, and nobody said a word, and our government didn't enforce it, and business owners like me, we did abide by the law.
And if you remember, Rush, it was the Eastern bloc, Europeans, white Russians and Czechoslovakians.
Yes.
I'm gonna tell you a very brief story from one white American business person.
Okay, Val, Val Val, I know that this uh you're very compelling.
And I want to hear the story, and I don't have to interrupt you in the middle of it, and I'm gonna have to go here in about thirty seconds if I don't go now.
So can you hold on?
Yes and and tell us okay, good.
Uh as I I appreciate it because you are making uh uh tremendous amount of sense and speaking in a very professional educated and compelling manner.
Be back and continue.
You bet.
Be back in just a moment.
Harry Reed's image is taking a hit in his home state of Nevada uh since he was re-elected in two thousand four.
The percentage of Nevada's who view Harry Reed favorably has dropped by ten percentage points, while the uh number who view him unfavorably has increased fourteen points.
I had that up to be a twenty four point swing.
In the case of Dingy Harry.
Now Val of Sanabelle, Florida, is holding on.
We'll get to her in the opening segment of the usual monologue segment, the uh beginning of each hour, right after we come back and listen to her compelling story.
