Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, folks, I have figured it all out now.
Now, it makes total sense, this so-called immigration reform.
I've got it.
I've got it figured out.
I will make it clear.
In fact, I was so close when I was making a joke about it early on.
I should learn every time I make jokes about what politicians are doing.
I end up being right.
It's Friday.
Let's kick it off, shall we?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
As we head on into the Memorial Day weekend, Rush Limbaugh greeting all of you.
Glad to have you with us for today's edition of Open Line Friday.
When we go to the phones, the program is all yours.
Meaning, you can ask, say anything, pretty much.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, and the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
I am America's real anchorman, firmly ensconced here in the anchor chair, the prestigious Attila the Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Well, the Capitol Hill Police conducting a press conference, Sergeant Kimberly Schneider from the Capitol Hill Police here, there were shots fired at 10.30 this morning, reports of shots fired in the Rayburn office building garage.
And members of the House have been told to stay in their hearing rooms.
The Intelligence Committee, House Intelligence Committee, is meeting.
They've been told to stay where they are.
All staffers have been told to move to internal offices and don't leave.
Then they gave an all-clear, then they rescinded the all-clear, and they told people to stay in there again.
Several law enforcement agencies are assisting in searches here for what's happened.
Some people supposedly smell gunpowder.
So nobody knows what really happened yet.
And the Capitol Hill press conference that is still ongoing basically told nobody anything new.
Nobody knows.
I just have a couple questions.
Are federal cops like the FBI allowed to go rescue legislative branch workers?
And if there's any evidence of any crime in any office, is a federal executive branch law enforcement people allowed to go anywhere near the Rayburn office building?
A lot of separation of powers questions here, folks, that have to be asked.
And it's been an hour and a half, well, yeah, a little over an hour and a half, hour and 40 minutes, and whatever they know, they're not revealing.
And maybe they don't know anything, but you know that a lot of people are going to be asking, what are they covering up now?
What's going on in there?
The first question that an intrepid journalist asked, the press spokesman for the Capitol Hill Police, was, is a member of Congress involved?
I don't have that information.
We don't know anything yet.
We're still conducting tactical team investigations and so forth.
Brian Ross has not reported that he is being held hostage at gunpoint by Speaker of the House, Denny Hastert.
And we don't know where the whereabouts of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, in all of this.
But what a week.
What a week it has been.
We've got Vicente Fox, ladies and gentlemen, who is supposedly doing his victory tour across part of the country.
You note the states that Vicente Fox is going to spend a lot of time in California.
You know what he's really doing here?
He's campaigning.
He's campaigning for his party in the Mexican presidential election because Mexican citizens that live here can vote in the Mexican presidential election.
It's a disguised campaign trip.
We're being told he's up here on an immigration tour and so forth.
But it really is just a campaign tour.
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 100% 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, that's what this is.
You cannot read this bill and conclude anything else.
This bill is senseless.
This bill is absolutely worthless.
This bill has you, there's a reason everybody's going nuts here because there's no common sense in this bill when you look at it within the framework of immigration reform.
And I'll tell you what else is going on.
You guys in the House, I don't know if you're able to listen right now because you're locked down.
Well, some of you House members are not even in Washington.
You've taken your recess early.
I want you to listen to this very carefully because what's happening here, let me listen to Dingy Harry.
Grab audio soundbite number one, and this will set up what I'm going to warn you people in the House about.
Dark clouds are forming on the horizon.
Influential members of the House of Representatives and Republican leadership are still pushing for the bill that they passed.
A bill that makes felons out of millions of immigrants and those who assist them, like a member of the clergy, a health care worker, social worker.
All right, now let me translate this for you.
What's happening here?
The Senate's passed their bill.
Dingy Harry is warning members of the House there are dark clouds forming over the beautiful Senate amnesty horizon.
And these evil House Republicans could ruin everyone's day.
And if the House doesn't go along with this, and if the House doesn't accept this abomination of a piece of legislation called an Immigration Reform Act, then what's going to happen is that conservatives, the moderates and the liberal, the moderates in the Republican Party and the liberals in the Democratic Party will blame conservatives for standing in the way and blocking immigration reform.
If they can't come to an agreement in the conference with the Senate, moderates are going to blame House conservatives for this failure.
I think what's happening here, in addition to all that I've said, is that moderate Republicans are trying to destroy conservatives and conservatism.
And I think moderate, by moderate Republicans, let me give you some names.
John McCain, Arlen Specter, we'd have to throw Senator Lindsey Graham in there now.
And some of the Republicans in the administration, some of the Republicans in the White House.
I think they have been steaming over the conservative wing taking over the Republican Party, the elites in the Republican Party we've heard from on this debate, and they are trashing all of you as a bunch of unsophisticated boobs.
Me too.
And I think there's a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party going on right now.
And the conservatives who are largely the majority membership of that party are under assault.
I think that it is perfectly clear, at least to me, that that's what's happening.
And you can look at this this way.
Let me make it easy.
This is, we're back to 1976.
This is Ronald Reagan versus Gerald Ford.
This is Barry Goldwater versus Nelson Rockefeller.
This is the compassionate conservative Republicans, i.e. the moderates, versus the conservatives.
That's all tied into this.
There's so many things being done here at once.
And this whole immigration bill is simply a rubric to disguise the true intent.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Oh, CNN and Fox are both reporting that two women came out of the Rayburn gym, the Rayburn office building gym, saying a man with a gun is in the gym in the Rayburn House office building.
That's the latest that's being reported.
Quick timeout.
We'll continue here in just a second.
Stay with us.
Welcome back to Open Line Friday, El Rushbaugh, and more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
All right.
The two women were in the gym of the Rayburn office building, and they said that there was a man hiding in their white guy, 5'11, 175.
Obviously, the guy needs to eat something.
If you're 5'11, you weigh less than 240, you're thin.
Anyway, this guy is brandishing a gun around or hiding with a gun.
And journalists on television are warning us now.
We can't really go by these initial reports why these people, they're not professionals.
They tend to get excited, and these first reports turn out to be oftentimes not true.
And I'm just sitting here laughing like what we see on television news these days.
So anyway, the hubbub is continuing.
And when we get anything new on this, we'll pass on.
We're not going to jip any of this coverage because there's nothing somebody on a stretcher.
But we don't know.
The next update's going to be in about 55 minutes from now.
All right.
More on this immigration business.
You Republicans in the House have to understand what's going on here.
You are being targeted for destruction, and you are being targeted as the bad guys.
If you don't go along with what the Senate has done in this so-called immigration bill, there was a press conference yesterday that nobody covered.
We even joined a number of website video units, hoping to find coverage of it.
It was a love fest.
I don't have any audio of this for you yet.
It was a love fest.
Senators McCain and Hagel, Graham, and Martinez, Inspector were backslapping and thanking Senators Kennedy, Reed, and Durbin.
Congratulating each other over what a great thing they've done with this immigration bill.
And McCain said this.
He said, the most important message probably is to those 11 million people who are out there living in the shadows without the protection of any of our laws of our society, millions of whom are being mistreated and not given, not receiving their God-given rights.
To them, we will provide a path to citizenship so you can come out of the shadows and educate yourselves and feed your families and become very profitable and very important members of our society.
That is just patently absurd, folks.
This bill, I'm going to tell you, if you Republicans, if you lose in November, it's not going to be because of you.
If you stand strong here, if Republicans lose in November, it's going to be because of the moderates in the Senate and elsewhere in the House and because of missteps taken by the administration, not because you stand up for your conservative principles.
If you stand up for your conservative principles, that will not be why you lose.
You are going to have to trust me on this.
This is a huge gambit that's being tried here.
And you guys, the conservatives in the House are the targets.
And I'll tell you, I don't think that I can say this enough, folks.
I don't think I can drill this into people's heads enough because Lindsey Graham and McCain and so forth are actually spinning it this way.
They're actually out there saying that the conservatives don't want to be the reasons that we're standing in the way of progress and success here.
And they're going to set you up for the blame if the Senate bill does not maintain itself or remain intact by saying if you don't sign on to moderate, unpopular things like this, that you will lose.
It's just the exact opposite.
This bill, this immigration bill was written by the open borders lobby with La Raza type groups.
You can't read this and escape that conclusion.
I mean, this bill includes all kinds of traps against enforcement.
It confers all kinds of rights on illegal aliens.
It's going to make it very, very hard to enforce any of this.
It was written by lawyers.
I'm convinced this legislation has been written by lawyers who do this work day in and day out, who litigate on behalf of illegals and seek to change even the most arcane rules to their advantage.
Let me cut through all of the noise here, folks, and just hit you right between the eyes.
These senators do not want to control immigration.
They want to expand it.
They don't care whether it's illegal or legal immigration.
What they did was vote in favor of changing our society so as to massively empower the federal government.
The federal government will have far more control over wages than before.
Entitlement programs are going to have to expand in order to accommodate all these new arrivals and their children.
Taxes are going to have to go up in order to pay for all this.
Wealth will be redistributed from the middle class to a new class of poor that we are welcoming in here, as Senator McCain has so excitedly said in his press conference yesterday.
That is exactly what this is about.
It's all being done under the rubric of immigration reform.
What we're actually doing is importing poverty in order to enhance big government.
That is precisely what is going on here.
I cannot emphasize this enough.
We've gone through all the details of this bill.
You can't possibly assume from reading this that this is actually a conclude that this is about immigration.
It just isn't.
And I have been right about that from the get-go.
I mean, the editors at National Review have written a little editorial today on their website.
And I mean, the Senate wouldn't even vote down the earned income tax credit for illegal immigrants that bop in here.
So as a result of this.
So you're just going to have, you watch what happens if this bill remains as is.
The impact on the legal system incalculable.
The impact on the economy, on the bureaucracy, local and federal level public services, the entitlement crisis, it is a massive, massive pro-poverty bill.
Bring in some people here in poverty, get a number of new victims.
Our economy is doing well, and there are fewer and fewer victims, fewer and fewer people in poverty.
We need this.
It's the country club Republicans and the Blue Bloods trying to take back the party from the conservatives.
Compassionate conservatism versus conservatism.
Ford versus Reagan, Goldwater versus Rockefeller.
I mean, this is where we are.
I make no bones about it.
The Blue Blood Country Club is trying to take back control of the party.
They've been seething ever since Reagan was so dominant and so victorious.
And they really weren't happy with the newt revolution.
We've seen this just in the last three months in this immigration bill.
And by the way, there's a last-minute change.
There was a last-minute change in the bill.
It got ratified, and this exposes everything.
Remember when the 370-mile fence on the border was proposed and suggested, a 500-mile vehicle barricade or blockade?
Christopher Dodd said, well, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
We can't do this without consultation with the government of Mexico.
Guess what ended up in the bill?
Just that.
Consultations between the United States and Mexican authorities at the federal, state, and local levels concerning the construction of additional fencing and related border security structures along the United States.
Mexico border shall be undertaken prior to commencing any new construction.
So before we can build the fence, we've got to consult with Vicente Fox and the state governors, whatever they're called in Mexico, and the local people on their side of the border in order to solicit the views of affected communities in Mexico to lessen tensions and foster greater understanding and stronger cooperation on this and other important issues of mutual concern.
The Dodd Amendment was included in a manager's amendment offered by Senator Specter, which included several additional amendments.
It was adopted by the Senate.
So even the fence will have to essentially get the approval after consultation with officials throughout government layers in Mexico.
Believe me, folks, this is not an immigration bill, and it never was.
We'll be back after this.
Stay with us.
That's what we do here.
We make the complex understandable.
Now the staffers and others remaining in the Rayburn office building have been told to lock the doors.
Next briefing at 1.15.
You think I'm making all this up, eh?
Our buddy Jim Rutenberg with an analysis piece on the front page of the New York Times today.
Compassionate conservatives versus angry doctrinaire hardliners.
The negotiations between the White House and Congress that will follow the Senate's passage on Thursday could decide not just how the nation confronts illegal immigration, but also what strain of conservatism the Republican Party carries into the midterm elections and beyond.
Will it be the compassionate brand Mr. Bush considers crucial, in this case by signaling support for a provision in the Senate bill that would give most illegal immigrants an opportunity to become legal?
Or will it be the more doctrinaire variety embraced by much of Mr. Bush's party in the House, one that shuns anything that smacks of amnesty for illegal immigrants and seeks to criminalize them further?
So once again, here's the New York Times.
And this is, but they're writing the money here portraying the anti-illegal immigration side as conservative hardliners, doctrinaire, cold-hearted, mean-spirited, cruel, bigoted, sexist, racist, homophobes.
I'm telling you, that's how this is being set up.
And it's being done so with glee and the support of moderate Republicans everywhere.
I cannot emphasize to you just how much resentment there has been for the longest time within the Republican Party for conservatives by the country club blue blood set.
I've shared stories with you of how I personally have encountered this.
Dana Rohrebacher yesterday in the Washington Times had a piece called the Shamnesty Legislation.
And he says, this shamnesty bill spells out the level of contempt the Senate has for middle-class Americans.
This comprehensive bill includes in-state tuition for illegal aliens.
Your kid has to pay full freight if they cross state lines.
Illegal aliens who break into the country don't.
All temporary guest workers have to be paid the prevailing wage.
American citizens do not have to be paid prevailing wage.
All agricultural guest workers under this Senate bill cannot be fired by their employers except for what the bill calls just cause.
However, American agricultural workers can be fired for any reason.
And again, in the agriculture business, just to give you an example, 24% of the jobs are held by illegal aliens, which means 76% are held by Americans, and yet we are told these are jobs Americans won't do.
In the Senate bill, illegal aliens are made eligible for Social Security.
Not only will they receive retirement benefits, their children will receive survivor benefits should the parents pass away.
This is at a time when we are trying to keep Social Security solvent for the next generation.
And therein lies a huge key.
Capitol Building has been reopened after another lockdown.
That's the Capitol Building, not the Rayburn building.
No word on that, but the Capitol building has been reopened after yet another lockdown.
Taxpayer dollars will go to radical immigrant rights groups so they can help illegal aliens adjust their status.
Millions of your tax dollars will go to the same groups that organize those rallies where people who came here illegally waved foreign flags and thumbed their noses at our laws.
Make no mistake, folks, this is the expansion of government on parade.
This is the importation of new people in poverty, necessitating an expansion of the safety net, an expansion in tax rates to pay for it, another transfer of wealth, and an expansion of government in order to accomplish all this, thereby cementing even more dependency among these new arrivals.
To the phones, because it's open line Friday.
Steve in Rochester, Minnesota.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Ditto's Rush.
My question is the following.
How is it that John McCain can win 76 or 70-some percent of the vote in the last election and still live in a border state that has this immigration policy and anger all these Republicans?
How does he win by such a large margin?
And secondly, how can any conservative wing of the party get any leverage on this guy to make changes when he wins with such huge margins?
Well, there are two things.
McCain did not win the 2000 presidential primary, so he doesn't win every election.
And he really won the New Hampshire primary and not much after that.
And remember, in order to accomplish this, he was out there getting Democrats to cross and vote on primary day.
In Arizona, you'd have to look at a number of factors.
He gets a lot of Democrat votes out there.
He gets a lot of independent votes.
And because he's such a rock-solid incumbent, he doesn't have that much opposition every six years when he runs.
But examining how he does in Arizona is not the same thing as examining how he might do in another presidential primary in 2007, 2008.
Okay, thank you.
I knew I could help.
Duke in New York City, nice to have you, sir.
Welcome to Open Line Friday.
Rush, longtime listener, first time get-thruer.
Yes, sir.
I think Hitler said that if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough, it becomes the truth.
No, that was Joseph Goebbels and a number of liberal Democrats.
Okay, that's a distinction without a difference.
Any socialist and communist has said that, yeah.
Yeah, the point is that we were all saying we can't deport 12 million illegal aliens.
But I thought to myself, what is the most successful police force in the world?
It's the Secret Service.
Because we have only lost three presidents in 141 years to assassination.
And that's because that's all they do.
They don't roll drunks.
They don't pull over speeders.
They just protect the president.
So if we hired 10,000 feds and that's all they did was to hunt down and arrest illegal aliens and set a margin for 200,000 in a year, the math is that that is one agent making three arrests a week.
Duke, Duke, look, I hate to interrupt here, but you've got to understand this is not what this is about.
I mean, I don't dispute that it could be done, but it ain't going to happen.
It just isn't going to happen.
You have to understand this is not about immigration.
This is not nobody that has, even on the House side, there's not a serious movement here for deportation.
The compromise on that is let's just really shore up the border.
But that's been tossed aside.
It's doable.
If we substituted the word illegal alien with child molester, none of this would fly.
None of this would fly.
Let's give child molesters assured jobs where they have to make the minimum wage.
Let's give child molesters free lessons in English.
Let's give child molesters.
It wouldn't happen.
That's true.
No, I agree with you 100%.
I'm just telling you, it's not about immigration.
You couldn't.
What if you wanted to deport all the child molesters in the country?
Let's talk about that, yeah.
Well, you think you could?
Numbers, sure you could.
But, you know, the point is, it's only not doable because we don't set our minds to do it.
No, I agree.
But yes.
Well, when you say we, you got to say they.
No, you got to say they.
Okay.
Okay.
You're right.
I guarantee If some leader stood up and said, this is an outrage.
What's happening to our culture is an outrage.
And I'm going to start immediately trying to find the people who are violating our existing laws.
And we're going to send them back where they came from.
There'd be a lot of opposition, but people would be inspired to think, okay, we put a man on the moon in 10 years.
We can't deport this number of people.
You couldn't do it in one year.
I mean, it would take some time.
But with my math, it would be seven years you could do it in.
Yeah, you can do it.
It's starting to sound like Clinton.
We could balance the budget in three years.
No, but the point is, no, if you just use my math, you could do it in seven.
But it's also probably less because there'd be attrition.
People would die, you know, and you dry up the jobs.
People won't come.
Well, something would happen if you ever really, if we embarked on such a program, can you imagine what it would cause out there in the rest of the country among the illegal population?
It would have sort of a domino effect.
But look, folks, I mean, one of the things you have to consider, this is an amnesty bill, and this is going to increase the desire of even more people around the world, not just Mexicans.
We're not just talking Mexicans anymore with this bill.
This is going to increase the desire of all kinds of people to come here illegally because, I mean, it is said, and I'm sure you've heard that during the course of the many months of this debate.
But Rush, but Rush, we all are a nation of immigrants.
We are a part of the grand melting pot.
Yeah, yeah, true.
But I don't know any of my ancestors as immigrants who got the deal these illegals are getting with all the access to health care and education and exemption from paying taxes for three years.
It's incredible.
I don't know any previous generation of immigrants who got this kind of a deal.
You got to understand, folks.
I mean, I've been dancing around this for three months now, and now after the fact I see it, it's so senseless when you look at this as an immigration bill.
There's nothing in this immigration reform.
This is pro-immigrant.
This is the exact opposite of what you thought these people were getting together on Capitol Hill to do.
They've come up with a plan to expand all this, legal and illegal.
That's what this is.
Now, when you understand that, then you start to say, okay, why would they want that?
And then my analysis will make, as it always does, 100% clear, pure sense.
What are you laughing at in there?
What in the world is so funny?
Well, it is a circus.
It is a circus.
I don't know.
We still have people.
Well, we can deport them.
You should have seen my email last night in the interview with Tony Snow.
Guy sends me, well, I heard you agree with the White House that we don't need to deport these people.
We can assimilate them and so forth.
You've caved.
You've done a what?
I said, oh, my gosh.
I know, you know, it is a circus, which is why I am trying to bring some simple common sense to this today, folks.
I'm trying to make it as crystal clear as possible to what this actually is.
Got to take a break now.
We'll be back.
Open Line Friday will continue in just a moment.
And we're back, cutting-edge societal evolution Rush Limbaugh.
It is farcical.
This whole thing is a farce, folks.
In fact, I'm even a little embarrassed that I got caught up debating it on the merits.
I mean, I saw it.
My instincts are right on the money, and I was making jokes about it.
And it turns out the jokes are true.
When I said the Democratic Party's out of victims and need more victims, it's true.
That's why we're just importing victims here.
We're importing victims that are going to be in poverty.
And listen to McCain, listen to these people speak.
These illegal aliens are being characterized as super citizens, folks.
They do work that you won't do, you elitist, spoiled, rotten American legal.
You won't do what really needs to be done for this country.
Oh, but we're going to be saved now by these super citizens crossing the border.
They don't commit any crimes.
They don't drain resources.
They've been built up as super citizens superior to you.
And as some downtrodden group wandering aimlessly through deserts, thunderstorms, hurricanes, I mean, the future, the backbone of America here is how they're being portrayed.
Now, some of you, I'm sure, and I will admit this, some of you listening to this, you've been listening, listen to the whole program, you're listening to what I'm saying about it, and you're scratching your head saying, I haven't heard this anywhere else.
I haven't heard this.
It's rush.
My friends, as I have been saying a lot lately, don't doubt me.
Don't doubt me.
For three months, I've been telling Brian that the audio in here was distorted and it was too hot.
Nope, everything's cool.
Went up to New York.
I said, Brian, it's working up here.
There's something.
He finally went in there, found we were 6 dB hot.
Don't doubt me.
Now, I know one of the reasons that you're confused, one of the reasons, look, I have here the AP story contrasting what's in the Senate bill and what's in the House bill.
You want to hear how they portray what's in the Senate bill?
Allows illegal immigrants who've been in the country five years or more to remain, continue working, and eventually become legal permanent residents and citizens after paying at least $3,250 in fines and fees and back taxes and learning English.
They don't tell you there's no enforcement mechanism here for any of this.
They don't have to learn English.
All they have to do is in a roll and say that they're going to go.
No monitoring.
If they ever show up, it doesn't matter.
The $3,250, they have eight years to pay it.
Doesn't tell you that.
Requires illegal immigrants in the U.S. between two and five years to go to a point of entry at the border and file an application to return.
Anybody want to bet that the numbers that actually do this can be counted on both hands?
Because who's going to, what in the world is going to cause, okay, I've only been here two, three years, so where do I go?
What's a port of entry?
You think they're going to stand up and identify themselves?
There's no enforcement mechanism.
Requires or orders deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors, no matter how long they have been in the United States.
Once again, the law currently on the book says if you're here illegally, you get deported.
This is an improvement in the deal.
Now you can stay here illegally, but if you get caught in the middle of a felony, all you got to do is go to La Raza or some immigrant lawyer and get this litigated and then the case will be through because nobody's going to want to mess with it because there's no interest in this bill in deporting anything or anybody.
You go through this.
I've got a whole bunch more things.
You will not find in the AP list of highlights of what's in the Senate bill one word about the Social Security identity theft fraud that is endorsed and permitted.
If an illegal alien has stolen a social security card number and has opened a bank account, gotten a job, a driver's license, any number of things, no biggie.
No penalty.
In fact, not only is there no penalty, why Senator McCain has made it plain that as a compassionate society, that person who's been paying taxes and bar touches, you know what touches will get all their benefits.
Will get all their social security benefits and their kids will get survivor benefits.
After having stolen somebody else's identity in order to do it, that's in the bill.
You want to tell me this is an immigration bill?
Don't insult my intelligence.
It's nothing of the sort.
You go out and steal somebody's identity and steal somebody's credit card and find out what happens to you.
You go say, hey, you know what?
These illegals only have to pay back taxes for three of the five years.
Can I not pay my taxes for like five years and only have to pay back three of them?
You ask that for yourself if you can do this.
This is just a farce.
