Time Text
Yes, yes, yes, we're back here, folks, and ready to go.
Greetings, my friends, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
It's time for more broadcast excellence, hosted by me, America's real anchor man, Doctor of Democracy, and America's Truth Detector, all combined into one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
A telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800 282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Hugo Chavez is uh doing his own version of fairness doctrine down there in uh in Venezuela.
And you know, it's fun.
He's he's uh he's blowing up television stations.
He's uh he's trying to take opposition TV stations off the air.
And you can go to some Democrat websites here in the United States and find him rooting him on.
I kid you not.
You've also got uh remember Danny Glover went down there recently, got 18 mil to do a big movie that Hugo Chavez is all for.
Cindy Sheehan uh has uh she'd been she's been cast aside.
She's finally figured out she was nothing more than a pawn.
She's put Camp Crawford up for sale down there in Texas across from Bush's uh ranch.
She says she's gonna accept any reasonable offer.
I don't know how much a ditch goes for in Texas.
Uh uh it depends.
Uh, you know, it depends on where the ditch is and how deep the ditch is, and you know, what kind of stuff's in the ditch.
Uh there's been a lot of stuff going on down there at Camp Crawford.
You may not want the ditch based on what's in it.
Uh, you know, the remnants, the waste, the refuse, uh, what's what's left over.
It was funny the way the media covered this over the weekend.
She also denounced the Democrat Party, but they left that out.
The drive-by's left that fact out.
We'll get to that in uh in due course.
And the New York Times is in today with another C I Told You So For Me editorial on uh on the immigration bill.
Make a bad bill better.
They want to get rid of the $5,000 fine.
It's just cruel.
It's just a $5,000 fine is cruel.
Do I know these people or do I know them?
Those who want this bill to be better are horribly conflicted by it.
Their emotions still seem vastly overmatched by the ferocity of the opposition from the restrictionist right, with talk radio lighting up over amnesty, callers spitting out the words with all the hate they can pour into it.
Restrictionists, nativists, the New York Times representative of the uh of the elites that was telling you about last week.
And here's a fascinating story.
This is out of Mexico City.
Uh one man jumped to his death from a moving railway car, and a boy had his leg cut off by the train's wheels yesterday as Mexican agents staged a sweep of undocumented migrants who had hopped the freight train in southern Mexico.
The train is on a route heavily traveled by the uh Central Americans heading north across Mexico and a bid to reach the United States.
Honduran migrant Luis Carlos Hernandez, 14, said he jumped from the train to avoid capture by law enforcement agents who had climbed aboard the convoy, but he fell under the wheels and he lost his right leg.
Yeah, we were all on top of the train when the cops began chasing us.
A lot of us began to jump off the cars.
An unidentified man jumped off the car, fell on the tracks where the wheels of the train decapitated him, said Juan Luis Trujillo, a Trujillo, a spokesman for the National Anyway, the Mexicans.
The Mexican you dare to venture into their country and now have trains run over you.
They don't care.
They will do whatever it takes to get you out of the country.
Agents detained 133 migrants, all Central America.
I wouldn't do the Mexicans not care that these are future voters.
Do the Libs in Mexico have no interest in this?
Some of the detainees have already been sent back to their countries of origin, and others will be repatriated by today, Trujillo said.
Like that, folks.
Like that, they're j they are gone.
They're out of there.
President Clinton did the commencement speech at Middlebury College in Vermont on Sunday, and the story I have here is from um, well, it's I guess it's from the Military College paper.
And here's the last paragraph of the story.
Clinton pointed to the Human Genome Project, an attempt to determine the entire genetic makeup of human beings, which has shown us that our genes are 99.9% of the same.
And then they quote the former president as saying this.
Yeah, I met I met Rush Limbaugh the other night in New York, and I was tempted after all those terrible things that he said about me.
I was tempted to tell him that we are 99.9% of the same, but I was afraid the poor man would run weeping from the restaurant, so I let it go.
He is damn right.
If he'd have come up to me and told me that he and I are 99.9% of the same, I probably would gotten out of there.
I've never seen somebody approach my table with such a huge smile on his face.
Like hell, he was thinking about talking to the human genome project to me.
He was smiling bigger than he.
You're looking good, tan and fit.
You're looking good, Limbaugh, is what he said.
He came back.
Came back a second time.
Have you heard about this?
United States Postal Service is weighing a vanity zip code program.
Now, naturally, it's not their idea.
It's never good ideas very seldom come from bureaucracies or from government.
It's a marketing tactic uh dreamed up by a client of the Postal Service.
Uh and it supports my long-held contention here that most of government should be given over to the private sector.
And instead of paying the state for three million dollars for a drag racing museum, like they do, I get in North Carolina.
Such a great idea, let a private investment firm do it or something.
Uh but what this is uh Sachs Fifth Avenue has has convinced United States Postal Service to give it a vanity zip code for its shoe department.
Uh and the uh the Postal Service, hey, uh we'll we'll look at that idea using vanity zip codes as a way to generate additional income.
Uh here's some of the possibilities for vanity zip codes.
St. Patrick's Cathedral 1022 Prey.
Trump Tower, 1022 Hair.
Mayor Bloomberg's home, 1021 Rich.
Scores, the uh the the dirty dancing place, one oh one nude.
Derek Jeter's place, 10023 stud.
And I've added my own here.
Hillary, 10020 liar.
Uh Bill Clinton, 00211 Perv.
Uh uh Al Gore, 74471 Dork.
John Edwards, 27645 hair.
How about me?
33480 Hush.
Uh, and of course, McCain, 23456 nuts.
Anyway, they'll probably do this.
Uh, and it's uh I don't know.
It's it's a great idea.
Sachs comes up with it.
It's a it's a it's a great private sector idea.
The government would never have come up with this on her own.
We got a lot of news today about Hillary Clinton.
It's all over the place.
All kinds of news about Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Obama.
Have you seen the story on Mrs. Obama?
Yes, she's getting some good press, but here, let me give you the first line.
The headline, Michelle Obama likes to raz her husband.
I mean, the point of this story is that her husband Barack is just your average lout of a husband.
Just like all of you husbands are, and like I as a former husband have been a lout.
I'm not allowed anymore.
Well, I can't say that, but when I really was allowed as a husband.
Uh and it it goes on to talk about how she really she's not going to kowtow to her husband.
It's got all kinds of Oh, yeah.
You know what?
The guy takes off his dirty socks and leaves them on the floor.
He doesn't put them in the hamper.
Uh when we finish dinner, he doesn't put the butter up.
And she's being praised for this.
And this is, I guess, is to make these people look like uh, you know, average Americans.
Uh men in strange sort of way understand leaving uh butter out and socks laying around.
It humanizes the guy, said Thomas Patterson of Harvard University, professor at the Kennedy School of Government.
He says, Yeah, this might even uh earn him some points with men.
Really?
Leaving your socks out, leaving the butter out, a story about how your wife talks about you're a lout is gonna have a point now that I think of it back in just a There are actually two Michelle Obama stories out there.
The this one in which she um refers to her husband as just her average lout of a husband.
Well, she didn't use the word, but I mean the complaints here and the the references here, and the fact that she doesn't kowtow to her husband.
Uh and this this is uh uh designed to show that Barack's just her average, ordinary, berated guy.
Uh and uh that's supposed to that's supposed to build a bridge of relatability between Barack and the average American out there.
Then there's another story out there on uh on Michelle Obama, which is his exact opposite.
She'll do anything to support her husband.
She'll bake cookies.
I found that an interesting thing for her of all the things that she said she would do.
She'd be happy to bake cookies.
She will do anything for her husband's, including be quoted in a story about the fact that he doesn't put up his socks or the butter.
And so forth.
And they have a quote on the story.
We have a rule in our house that I can tease and he can't.
It sounds like the typical marriage.
It just really does.
Except it's uh, you know, the the she's gonna get a price for banging the banking the cookies.
At any rate, uh, how about this headline?
This is in the 26th, I guess this is three days ago.
I saw this headline.
No, don't do this to me.
This is too tempting.
I'm a prominent media figure, a radio talk show host.
I can't ignore this headline.
I should ignore it.
It's fraught with danger, but I can't ignore it.
Clinton says she's not blowing off Iowa.
You know, the name Clinton and blowing off in the same headline is a huge risk for someone like me.
That's all I'm gonna say.
Um gotta be these genes, the 99.9% were all the same genes.
And uh strangely, Monica Lewinsky is not mentioned in the street.
It's about how Hillary was been advised to avoid Iowa because she can't win there, and she's no I'm gonna go.
Uh, from uh the Associated Press today in Manchester, and presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton outlined a broad economic vision today, saying that it's time to replace an on-your-own society with one based on shared responsibility and shared prosperity.
She said that the Bush administration touts an ownership society really is an on-your-own society that has widened the gap between rich and poor.
You know, that is not true.
There's some financial data.
The lower, the bottom fifth income quintile, the the way the think tank crowd and and others study uh one aspect of the American economy is is income level, and they divide income level into five quintiles.
The bottom income uh bottom fifth, the lower fifth income quintile, showed the fastest percentage gain in income and wealth as a percentage from 1995 to 2001.
It's actually in a story about the Breck girl.
Uh uh was it 91 to 2005 is that what it was?
91 through 2005.
Uh that group, the poor, the lowest in uh quintile, lowest fifth uh uh segment of the economic pie had the greatest percentage increase in their income and wealth.
Uh so this is a this this gap between the rich and the poor, and it's constantly spreading and widening is um is is just another one of these media myths.
And here's Mrs. Clinton.
I mean, this is we're back back to it takes a village.
Uh she says, I I prefer we're all in it together society.
I believe our government can once again work for all Americans.
It can promote the general American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none.
That means uh pairing growth with fairness.
She said to ensure that the middle class succeeds in the global economy, not just corporate CEOs.
It's taking care of itself.
This we if you if you listen to the things she says, they're quite indicative of the fact that she's far left.
I believe our government can once again work for all Americans.
It does work for all Americans, but it's the wrong way to put it in the first place.
Fact of the matter is we're all working for the government, first and foremost, generally through the middle of May, we work for the government.
That's when our tax obligations have been settled, and that date uh in May keeps getting later and later and later.
Uh shared responsibilities.
It's another word for socialism.
Uh and this is this is Mrs. Clinton uh attempting to uh uh you know reach the vast majority of people who have been uh victims of class envy, and they have been told over the years how they're being short changed that trickle down economics took from them, and that's how the rich got rich.
By the speaking of John Edwards, I mentioned this or grab the tune.
I still can't believe this.
How many days it's it's been a week now since uh since the Washington Post ran the story about uh John Edwards being quoted in Bob Schrum's book.
He was asked by Schrum, what's your opinion, Senator on gay rights?
Well, I'm really uncomfortable around those people, he said.
Really uncomfortable.
And if a Republican had said that, they wouldn't have they wouldn't have stopped talking about it.
It hasn't gotten any traction at all.
Except on this program.
We are not going to let this slip by without comment.
So here is the Breck Girl, portrayed by Paul Shanklin.
Honestly, I I believe it got no reaction whatsoever.
And even Edward's wife Elizabeth had to go in there and say, John, John, John, that's not right.
You know, you can't say those kinds of things.
800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program today, we'll go to Bloomington, Illinois, and start.
Uh this is Jack.
Nice to have you, sir.
Welcome.
Hey, Rice.
JB3 here from Bloomington.
Uh need to talk to you about something.
Uh I believe with this bought and paid for Congress, whether they're Republican or Democrat, doesn't make any difference.
They're all in the same pocket in this uh illegal immigration business.
And if the American people don't stand up and be counted, and they can't do it by calling into talk shows.
We need.
And talk shows are great, but we need something more important.
We need somebody that's in the bully pulpit that's gonna rally and blow the bugle and have us charge on Washington.
And I'm talking about eight, ten million people from this country.
And I'll be there.
But we gotta have a date certain to go after, and it's gotta be publicized, and I don't know how to do it.
But if we don't get to the Congress of the United States, we're gonna get the dangest problem in the next fifty years with illegal immigrants and with all of those people coming in here, and we've got no control over their skill.
We don't have any control over whether they're a criminal.
Yes, we do.
We don't care.
That's the bottom.
We don't care that they come in.
And I think the more uneducated they are, the better.
This is a comprehensive destroyer of the Republican Party Act of 2007.
It's to expand the welfare state.
It is to expand entitlements uh on the from the Democrat side.
And by the way, I mean, I understand what you're saying.
Get get a march of eight to ten million people in Washington led by a powerful media figure, and I think I know to whom uh you are referring here.
I have to tell you, they all know how you feel.
Their phones have been ringing off the phones at the hooks.
Um they've been they've been at home.
Trent Lott's complaining that you don't know what you believe, that you don't have the facts because you're listening to talk radio.
They know how you feel.
They know that you're upset about this.
Their attitude is that you're wrong, that you are you are misinformed.
You don't have the uh the facts on this.
An eight to ten million uh people march on the should that would that would no doubt uh be impressive.
Weather would change their minds.
I think this is etched in stone already.
No need to think, ladies and gentlemen, it's hard work.
We do that for you here on the EIB network.
Rush Limbaugh with talent on lawn from God.
I have a story here from the uh the Christian Science Monitor from last week, and the uh headline, Fury Grows over U.S. Immigration Bill.
Uh and what the what the story says, I'll just uh sum it up for you here before I give you some excerpts.
What the story is saying is that we, the voters just too dumb to understand this.
Uh and some of you, uh, in addition to being too dumb to understand it, have been misinformed by people like me.
Trent Lott doesn't usually answer his Senate phone himself, but when angry callers are burning up the lines, as they are over this week's debate about uh immigration, the Republicans' number two Senate leaders picked up to hear what they've got to say.
A lot of the talk is misinformation, he says.
Talk radio and the blogs were blasting the compromise bill, which includes a guest worker program, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Lott said, uh, yeah, but talk to one caller for 15 minutes.
I can't talk to everybody in America for 15 minutes, but if you can if you uh if you cower in the shadows, you'll get pummeled.
You gotta stand up.
These uh withering attacks on the on the bill aren't only by phone.
Deal busting amendments are surfing uh sourcing on the Senate floor.
Uh Harry Reed planned to wrap up the immigration debate before the week's break, but of course they failed to do that.
Critics of the legislation who cross the political spectrum plan to use this week to turn up the pressure on senators at home.
William Green, or Gean, I'm sorry, the uh president of Americans for legal immigration based in Raleigh said people are people are gonna be piling on their senators at public events, media events in their offices over the break.
They can expect large angry mobs of their constituents.
I've never seen this degree of disparity between lawmaker and the electorate.
Nearly uh half of U.S. voters oppose the reform, only 26% support it, according to Erasmus and reports poll uh last week.
And of course, last weekend two senators who helped negotiate the bill were booed at their respective state Republican conventions, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina and in Duluth, Georgia, Senator Saxby Chambless of Georgia was also booed when uh he said the nation needs a meaningful guest worker uh program.
Senator Jim Dement, Republican of South Carolina, says, Senator.
What if he says he's never seen his constituents so angry and emotional?
His opposition to the bill was cheered by those at the Republican convention in his home state.
His offices received more than 2,000 phone calls in the bill, most opposing it.
People pulled me aside that convention, told me to fight it.
Uh senators interviewed for this story say that their calls and emails have been running overwhelmingly negative on the bill, but they're just now beginning to answer critics.
Bottom line is they know how you feel about it.
They're not idiots.
I mean, they're they can they can get a pretty good idea from the phone calls that are coming into their offices and the emails.
But this just boils down to it's one of those events.
It's not like the do by ports deal.
Uh they were they couldn't wait to make you happy with your opposition to do by ports deal.
And this you're missing you're misinformed.
You're uninformed, you're malinformed, you're ill-informed, uh you're ignorant, and it's all because you're listening to talk radio and reading the blogs.
Meanwhile, George Will with a piece in Newsweek in which uh he says, What is this out of the shadows business?
Have you noticed that phrase being banned the president uses it, Senator Kennedy, you practice everybody on the pro-immigration legislation side uses this out of the shadows.
And it's it's asinine because what it does is convey this silly notion uh that we're the bad ones, that the country is bad.
That the illegal aliens are the victims.
They're having to lurk in the shadows.
They're having to work in the shadows.
Um, I guess this is if they should be able to walk across the border with their family and friends, have a legal status and entitlements conferred on them immediately.
Same thing with this word sanctuary.
A bunch of cities are out there granting sanctuary status to illegals.
Sanctuary, sanctuary cities.
These these are phrases that remind me and inform person of the Third Reich, where Jews and others were given sanctuary from the brown shirts who were breaking down doors to take them away to concentration camps.
This is the thing that I mentioned a couple weeks ago that is constantly amazing to me, and that is we act like we owe these people something.
We've we've we owe them an apology.
Uh you know, and the bad thing is the language is not being used just by radicals, it's being used uh by uh Republicans as well.
Now, George Will in his piece, uh, let me read a couple paragraphs to you.
Sensible immigration policy must arise from more than monomania about the disturbing fact that at least twelve million immigrants are here illegally.
Affirming the rule of law is, however, where to begin, because when a large and somewhat cohesive cohort succeeds in living in defiance of the law, the Scoff Law spirit can have myriad manifestations.
This is let me let me pause here before getting to the story that he tells about this.
Somebody called last week and want to go on and on.
But Russ, they're illegal.
And I said, We're beyond That now.
Not we're beyond it, but as far as uh lawmakers, people who write the laws, the fact that they're illegal is exactly what has to be gotten rid of.
And that's why they will be automatically conferred legal if this legislation ever sees the light of day in the form of a bill that the president signs.
And Will's point here is it has to be about the fact that they're illegal.
Affirming the rule of law is where to begin.
Because when a large and somewhat cohesive cohort succeeds in living in defiance of the law, the scoff law spirit can have myriad manifestations.
Now get this, and here is one of those myriad manifestations.
Protecting one form of law breaking may require protecting others as well.
This is Heather McDonald of the Manhattan Institute.
The city of Maywood in Los Angeles County declared itself a sanctuary zone for illegal aliens this year.
Then, after doing that, listen to this, it got rid of its drunk driving checkpoints because they were nabbing too many illegal aliens.
Next, the city of Maywood, 96% Latino, almost half of whose adult population lacks a ninth grade education, disbanded its police traffic division entirely so that illegals wouldn't need to worry about having their cars towed for being unlicensed.
So once you overlook the fact that they've broken the law, you have to keep exempting them from it when they break other laws.
And that's exactly what's happened in this city.
Heather McDonald says that although some data suggest many Hispanic immigrants live in increasingly cultural and linguistic self-segregation, clearly some have assimilated in the sense of acquiring one of the nation's unpleasant current attributes, and that's the entitlement mentality.
We're here, therefore we are entitled to be here.
And it's added to by the fact that we're acting like it's our fault that they weren't here, or it's our fault that they were here illegally.
And we and they're the victims, and we owe them an apology.
The immigration debate, which may become even more heated when Congress reconvenes after getting an earful from constituents during the Memorial Day recess would be confusing enough without today's fog of careless language.
Journalism and political rhetoric about immigration are ludicrously reliant on the trope out of the shadows.
Ted Kennedy said it would bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows.
The next day, the lead paragraph of the Washington Post, page one news story said the compromise would bring illegal immigrants out of society's shadows.
The White House fact sheet said earnestly but ungrammatically that under the legislation the undocumented worker comes out of the shadows to acknowledge they have broken the law.
Now, this is absurd, as we have pointed out.
Out of the shadows, these people are being interviewed on television all over the place.
CNN interviewed a guy in Los Angeles.
And he said on camera he'd been here illegally for twelve years, referring to him with the delicacy that serves a political agenda as an undocumented worker.
CNN's reporters said that Arius was eager to come out of the shadows.
So Arius can simultaneously be in the shadows and discussing his illegal status on worldwide television.
Who knew?
So this is uh there's so much here that's that's that's perplexing.
Uh all of which we have recounted.
We know what the Democrats are trying to do.
The Democrats are trying to destroy the Republican Party, remake the country in their own image, expand the welfare state, expand welfare payments.
The so-called uh redistribution of income.
Uh the Republicans acting like they are clueless about this, and are stuck simply on the notion that if they don't go for this, that the Hispanics out there are gonna hate them and never vote for them, and it are going to be up a creek.
And Dick Morris had a column last week, I didn't reference it the day it came out.
Now, Morris looks at things purely political.
That's his business, that's what he does.
And he said if the Republicans blow this, if they don't come around and support this, they can forget Hispanic support forever, and they can sub they can forget being a majority party.
Uh nothing else matters to people in the political world looking through everything through the political prism.
And that's where the Republicans are.
They're scared to death to stand up for traditional American values and culture.
They're scared to death stand up for it because and apparently willing to risk losing all of your votes in the quest to see if they can get a certain percentage of these new arrivals' votes.
Uh Whenever you start operating out of fear, I don't care what it is you're doing.
When you're operating out of fear, I guarantee you, your judgment's cloudy you're gonna make the wrong decisions.
Let me tell you what I think.
All of this talk from people like Trent Lott and others in Washington, that we, we nativists, we restrictionists, and they're calling us all names, the elites.
We're too stupid to understand it.
We don't have what it takes.
We we need we need to get our minds made right on this.
And you people, of course, you are you are really at a disadvantage because not only are you too ignorant to understand it yourselves, you're being misled by people like me.
What I think is just the exact opposite.
I think the media covering this is who is ignorant.
They are not investigating this at all.
They simply follow the templates and the action lines as dictated by their accomplices, which happen to be the big guns of the Democrat Party.
They are they're not investigating this, they're not getting into the details of this legislation, they're not examining it at all in any degree, not to the degree degree of detail that I am or other people are, or that you are.
And the fact of the matter is you are more informed on this than the Republican senators pushing it.
You are more informed on this than the media.
And you probably don't need me to be more informed about it because your passion is leading you to find out what's in this legislation on your own.
Your instincts are telling you this ain't right.
Your instincts are telling you that something's drastically wrong when we're just gonna sweep twelve to twenty illegal people out of the shadows as it says and make them legal.
You know full well the rule of law is one of the things that's cohesive in this society, and when it doesn't matter, when it can be waived, and when it is waived, it's gonna have to continually be waived in order to make the first waving stand up.
If you're gonna say that illegal aliens are not illegal simply because we say so, then any other action they engage in that's illegal, you're gonna have to wink at that and let it go as well.
You understand instinctively this.
I think one of the things that's frustrating to you and me and all of us is that we know this is wrong.
We know instinctively that it's the wrong way to deal with this.
And yet you sit up every day and you hear how you're stupid, we're ignorant.
We're nativists, we're restrictionists.
When it's the people in the drive-by media who are making no effort to really understand this.
And of course, the height, the frustration is trying to figure out your own elected officials on this Republicans.
That's that's uh they think that that you're you're you're too m in all ill informed, uninformed to understand this.
Maybe you're too stupid even if you were told the truth.
Maybe it's too complex.
People just can't we can't have uh extracurricular politics get in the way of this, Senator McCain said.
But the the truth of the matter is here that uh in in this circumstance it's all of you who are vastly more informed than the people telling you about it.
And that's what frost because that that means that they are willingly insulting your intelligence.
And nothing grates on people more than that.
Here's Patrick in uh in Surrey, Maine.
Nice to have you, Patrick.
Uh, welcome to the EIB network.
Rush, it's a pleasure and an honor.
Thank you, sir.
Um, I was listening to uh the radio this morning, came across an NPR piece, believe it or not, that was doing uh uh story on the meatpacking plants down in Georgia that were raided, uh was it last fall or last winter, and they uh purged all the illegals out.
Yeah.
And they did a follow-up story basically to see how the plants were doing, when they were able to fill the jobs with, you know, the jobs that Americans won't do.
Yeah.
Lo and behold, they did find out that these plants had done a pretty aggressive camp uh uh advertising campaign locally, and also had reached out to a community out in the Midwest among uh these uh uh uh uh Southeast Asian monks that were um refugees back in 79 from Vietnam.
Right.
But had helped us out and fight, and lo and behold, uh they did find out that these plants were able to fill all of the jobs.
Um I found interesting as I listened to this piece is they had um pointed out that all of the illegals in that community had basically vanished, and with the exception of only a handful, and they had interviewed one uh business owner, he owned a uh Mexican restaurant, and the thing that I found ironic was he couldn't speak English.
Yet all of the Hmong, and there were at least a half dozen that they interviewed could speak English, and not only could speak English, but fairly well.
Um they were pleasant people, they had nice things to say.
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
They're they have come here to assimilate.
Exactly.
And, you know, I thought to myself is uh that's fine.
The Mexicans, wherever they've gone, they've gone, but the the jobs were filled and they were filled with law-abiding people that pay their taxes, most likely have valid driver's license, and and lo and behold, keep their money in this country and not send it out of the country.
Right.
Um, look at this this whole thing about uh uh doing jobs Americans won't do.
Uh 26, and that's largely said, by the way, uh, in in regard to the agriculture industry in this country.
Twenty-six percent of agriculture workers are illegal immigrants, it's best estimate.
That means that seventy-four percent aren't.
That means seventy-four percent of the people doing these jobs are Americans, supposedly doing jobs that Americans won't do.
