Time Text
So I'm checking the email during the break.
And a couple emails say, hey Rush.
When did Obama play the race card?
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
Over the weekend, Obama put out a video urging blacks and Hispanics and women to get re-energized for him.
He did not mention whites, old, female, or young.
He only mentioned people of color.
But even if you if you forgot that, he's out there ripping the law in Arizona.
He's ripping the car.
Hell, he did it again on Air Force One last night on the way back to Washington, D.C., Obama said this to reporters about the new immigration law in Arizona.
What I think is a mistake is when we start having local law enforcement officials empowered to stop people on the suspicion that they may be undocumented workers.
Because that carries a great amount of risk that core values that we all care about are breached.
We have to do more, though, in the context of a comprehensive plan that maintains our status as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.
It's a law.
We are a nation of laws.
You're the one trampling on laws.
Arizona passed a law because you and Washington are not dealing with the problem.
But here's the thing.
He's lying.
The left is lying when they say local law enforcement officials have the power to stop people on the suspicion that they may be undocumented workers.
They can't stop them on that basis.
They have to have committed some other violation that would result in police attention anyway.
I want to know how does under enforcing the law undermine our status as a nation of laws.
Somebody somebody has to explain this to me.
How does enforcing a law undermine our status as a nation of laws?
So anyway, they continue to say that Arizona is no different than a Soviet checkpoint.
They can stop you just because they'll the way you look.
That's not what the Arizona law says.
You must remember the left, the Democrats, whatever you want to call them, lie, folks.
They lie about veritably everything.
Here, Mayor Bloomberg in New York.
Slams the Arizona anti-immigration law.
We are committing national suicide, he said.
Fired up Mayor Bloomberg warned that the U.S. is committing national suicide by passing the buck on implementing comprehensive immigration reform.
Bloomberg delivered the blunt message yesterday as he criticized Arizona's harsh new anti-immigrant law.
This is not good for the country.
I don't agree with it.
We love immigrants here.
Well, take them.
Do you remember, folks, I've got this somewhere buried in the stack a couple years ago?
Bloomberg was paying the homeless with one-way tickets to leave to cities all over the world because they were putting too much of a strain on the shelter system in New York.
So homeless people were being offered one-way tickets out of the city.
And those were citizens.
Well, we think they were.
They were homeless New Yorkers.
And the mayor, who thinks we're committing suicide, gets them out of town.
Ah, too big a stress on our system here of shelters.
This country is committing national suicide.
Arizona's not doing it.
Arizona's not the reason we're committing national suicide, Mr. Mayor.
If we are committing national suicide as it relates to this issue, it's because the federal government is not enforcing its own laws, and the federal government has no intention of enforcing its own laws.
Here's Bill Clinton.
Yesterday in Washington at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Bob Schiefer interviewed Clinton, said immigration's been in a news lately.
You see that as uh part of fiscal reform and responsibility.
I don't like that Arizona bill, but I get why it happened.
The real reason there's anti-immigrant sentiment is if you look at the numbers.
It's white male factory workers without a college degree got killed in the last decades economic downturn.
I get it.
But they'll get more jobs if the economy grows.
Their taxes will be lower if we got more taxpayers.
The pressures on Social Security and the changes we'll have to make will be slightly less draconian if you have more people contributing into the system.
Okay, there's Clinton playing the race card now.
Clinton saying, look, we need to legalize these people, make them taxpayers, spread they'll that we create more jobs.
Every aspect of this is an out and out lie, but it does give away what their purpose is with all of this.
The reason that people oppose illegal, it's not anti-immigrant sentiment.
It is anti-illegal immigrant sentiment.
It's not just white male factory workers.
Are 70% of Arizona's white male factory workers, Mr. President?
Are 70% of the American people white male factory workers?
These people are the bigots.
These people are the racists.
These are the people throw the race card.
These are the people who are trying to impugn citizens of this country.
And impugn the country in general.
But how about this lie?
These uh these white guys, factory workers, they'll get more jobs if the economy grows.
Um Mr. President, it's 10% unemployment now.
You flood the job market with 20 more 20 million more all of a sudden legal citizens.
Somebody explain to me how that's going to create jobs.
And then their taxes will be lower if you got more taxpayers.
Only if you lower the rates.
And you don't lower rates, you raise them, Mr. President.
Uh pressures on Social Security changes uh will have to make it be slightly less draconian if you have more people.
Oh.
So we need these people contributing to Social Security so that we don't have to cut social security and really tick off our constituents.
So they're giving away what's really at stake here.
Now, I want to revisit this notion about the numbers.
Um, because I I am of a firm belief that the numbers don't work for Obama here.
Uh he doesn't have enough fraudulent voters to overcome the existing sentiment on this issue come November.
Now the that but I'm looking at this from the context of legitimate numbers.
Because the Hispanic vote really is small compared to the rest of the population.
And the Hispanic votes divided, too.
It's not monolithic.
Contrary to what everybody thinks, another media lie.
It's not all Democrat.
But we do have motor voter.
And we do have outright fraud.
And John Fund has written about it, got a great book about it.
Uh Obama may be hoping that there'll be enough illegal votes to make up for maybe even surpass the votes he will lose for being for amnesty.
But he's counting on acorn, he's counting on the illegal vote.
That's at the root of all of this.
Now, there's no voter ID required.
So that's in Obama's column.
So you you you have motor voter as well.
That's in his column.
Acorn project vote.
So the idea of massive voter fraud this November might not be so far-fetched.
What the heck?
What's Obama got to lose?
If you look at where he is in the polls right now, anyway, uh, everybody knows they're going to lose seats.
He knows if he doesn't do something, the Democrats are going to lose big in November.
So why not try to pull a rabbit out of his head?
None of this is really far-fetched.
This push for amnesty is his and the Democrats' hail marry pass.
That's really what this is.
Now There's a there's a very, very interesting thing going on here with all of this.
It's multi-layered, is multifaceted, but it's all based on dividing the people of this country by race and by the haves and have nots.
And it's being done and orchestrated by the president of the United States.
A quick time out.
You know, uh before we go to the timeout.
Do you remember all during the Bush years?
How frustrated we got.
When the Bush White House would never respond to the vicious personal and political attacks that were made against him and others of his administration.
And I asked him about it when he said, Look, I'm president of the United States.
I'm not gonna sully this office by descending to that level of partisanship.
I'm just not gonna do it.
But Mr. President, it would rally your base.
Your base is tired of hearing you and by extension them be insulted day in and day out, lie after lie after lie.
I'm not going to sink to that level.
Well, we see what happens now when we have a president who does sink to that level.
We have a president now who's nothing more than a community organizer or agitator.
We see what happens to the office of the presidency when pure unadulterated, undiluted partisanship runs it.
He gives speeches.
I want you black people to vote for me.
I want you as Spanish to get in line.
I want you women, get your energy back.
Cherry picking the people he wants to support him.
Anyway, I gotta go.
We'll take a break.
Come back.
Your phone call's coming up too after this.
So Bill Clinton's out there saying, I understand what's happening out there.
I really do.
All these white factory workers, they lost their jobs out there.
White people and their level of unemployment approaches the Great Depression.
Black unemployment is double digit.
Black people in this country are in worse shape than they have ever been under this president who was supposed to be post-partisan and post-racial.
He was going to promise us his new unity, this new beginning, something we had never before seen in politics.
And it put all those things that divide the country behind us.
And we should have known it was a lie.
We didn't know it was a lie, just like all of his other promises.
The guy was the most liberal Democrat in the Senate when he was there, and that's something.
When you are more liberal than Ted Kennedy, when you're more liberal than Harry Reid or John Kerry.
This is just even La Raza says that Hispanics are doing very poorly in this country.
They need billions more in taxpayer dollars to survive.
That's the reason they exist.
La Raza is urging everybody they can to count to be counted in the senses to get the benefits.
They're not interested in people going to work.
They're interested in benefits.
Their share of the benefits pie.
Bill Clinton's out there saying, I don't know why all this is happening because all these white guys are just mad as hell because they lost their jobs.
Everybody's hurting.
But the white guys are hurting a little bit less than some of the others, is the truth of all this.
All right.
Let's go to the phones.
We're going to start in Washington Township of New Jersey.
Mike, great to have you, sir.
Your first.
Welcome to the program.
Hey, Rush, I'm a huge fan, and uh I've never voted for a Democrat, so I just want to make sure you understand that before we get into this.
I also support Jam Brewer's decision to do what she did in Arizona.
But I feel that this is the only issue that can hurt us as Republicans because you said something important.
It's it's their Hail Mary Pass.
And why is it?
Because it's the only thing that can pull on the purse strings for somewhat of like for the compassionate feelings that people may have for this.
And I and I and and I I think this, Rush.
Uh what do you think of this proposal?
And I don't understand why really nobody on Our side.
We gotta take the lead.
We could take this issue right back from the Democrats by doing this.
Put together a proposal.
First, first and foremost, absolutely seal and protect that border immediately.
It's gross dereliction of duty on the part of the federal government.
Two, second thing, give all illegal aliens that are in our country now, give them a time period.
I don't, you know, I'm not smart enough to decide if it's 90 days, six months, I don't know, but give them a time period where they have to report to INS, right?
Three.
Then anyone that's picked they know if they and if they don't, meaning after that certain time period, Rush, if then people are picked up, they get immediately deported because they need to they need to report.
Of course, anybody that have committed crimes, felonies, or any serious crime, get them out, send them right back.
But but what about the people that, you know, the people that have kids that were born here, the others that are here, we can't round up 12 million people.
Give them some kind of path of at least I'm not saying citizenship.
Give them a resident alien carter, let them pay a huge fine.
If they're working, let them keep jobs.
They're not you you know that the majority of the people that are here are not all criminals, they're not all bad people.
I mean, uh uh is any of that making sense to you, Rush.
Uh no.
Uh it doesn't make any sense.
Uh I'll tell you why we first place the Democrats don't own the issue.
So the premise on which you based everything that followed is flawed as far as I'm going to we own this issue.
The Democrats do not.
Nobody that owns an issue throws a Hail Mary pass.
Nobody that is got the game locked down throws a Hail Mary pass.
The Democrats, I don't believe there's a grand strategy.
I think they're they're they're they're throwing it up against the wall here.
I think they're desperate.
The second thing, the plan you described is perfectly practically word for word what the Obama or what the Kennedy Bush McCain immigration bill was in 2007.
And you see what happened to that.
It went down in flames because the American people saw it for what it was.
It was a pathway to amnesty.
The second thing is, you say we give them X number of days to show up, and then those that don't, we find them and say, Sayonara.
How are we gonna find them?
We're relying on them to show up at some office.
Do we have the infrastructure to handle this?
Okay, we put out a PSA press release run TV ads.
Okay, all of you people here illegally in the country, listen up.
Show up to the courthouse in West Palm Beach, floor five, office suite, 717 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. all next week.
And then whoever shows up, we say, All right, 100% compliance.
Well, how do we know that they've all shown up?
And the ones that don't show up, how do we find out who they are to deport them?
Uh securing the border is already federal law.
It's not being obeyed.
They have not implemented it at all.
See, this is why I'm making the point about the template today.
We have not lost the issue.
They have brought this issue up now because they are in deep doo-doo in November, and they are throwing this up against the wall, hoping that this will reverse their downward decline for their move movement.
So the losses won't be as bad.
It's gonna make it even worse for them.
Try this, folks.
These uh rallies, these marches Saturday, right?
I know normally the last thing you want to do is watch a bunch of malcontents protesting the country on a Saturday.
But give yourself ten minutes to do it.
Watch them burn the American flag, watch them go make speeches ripping this country apart, listen to them probably bash Bush and Cheney.
Because you know what'll when they do these things, every leftist malcontent from the animal rights wackos to the environmental rights wackos to the anti uh uh uh globalization nuts, they all show up.
It's not just the illegal immigrant lobby.
They all show up and they all vie for attention.
They all want to be heard on their pet issue.
So you tune in and you watch ten minutes of this.
And you tell yourself, you know what, this really makes me want to give amnesty to these people.
What it's going to do if you just give yourself ten minutes to watch, it's going to fire you up even more to not surrender the country.
So I I just thought I don't I don't s I don't see where the template is something that we ought to buy here.
Everything the caller said sounded good.
It's all premised to the fact we're losing the issue and that we're going to lose the issue.
The Democrats are going to win big.
They're going to cream us on the basis of compassion.
I dealt with that yesterday.
Compassion.
You know who needs compassion?
The people in border states who are afraid to leave their homes for very long because it's likely when they come back, drug cartels have taken over or somebody else is in there.
People do not feel safe.
People are getting killed, ranchers.
Rancher got murdered.
These are not the old day laborers that came across to pick uh grapes and so forth with uh with Caesar Chavez.
This is a whole different bunch.
These are drug smuggling coyotes and human smugglers.
It's a whole different ball game now.
Where is the compassion for the victims of all this?
And the victims of all this are American citizens.
Why is the compassion for the perps?
AP story.
Earlier today, you you start enforcing the law, a lot of the illegal aliens will deport themselves.
They have in the past.
I have to say it's working.
Ha, welcome back, Rush Limboss serving humanity.
Well, executing a sign host duties flawlessly.
Sam Ramon, California, Raymond, you're next, and welcome.
Rush, thanks for the great job that you do.
I'm an employer.
I've been in business for 20 years.
And if I all of a sudden decided to create a sanctuary business and not check documents for people coming to work for me, I would quickly find myself in violation of the law and maybe in jail.
But yet here we have the current administration telling law enforcement not to check the very document that I'm required to check by law.
Because after all, I'm the criminal.
I create jobs as the one note Samba conga line media constantly pronounce that employers are the problem for illegal immigration.
We have to crack down on them.
So I think what the administration's saying is we need to have a don't ask, don't tell at the border.
Don't ask, don't tell at our hospitals and schools, don't ask, don't tell for social services.
But once that illegal tries to get a job, now we crack down on the real criminal, the employer.
Yeah, it's exactly right.
That is exactly right.
And they're misrepresenting.
I want to say this again.
Obama and everybody on the left is misrepresenting the Arizona law.
Again, I have here, this is from uh Chris Kobosh, or Kobach, I'm not sure he pronounces his last name.
He's a professor.
He's the primary author of the Arizona legislation.
He said, This law only kicks in when a police officer already has made a lawful contact with a person, such as stopping him for breaking another law.
And it doesn't take effect until summertime anyway, but it's already having an effect on the state's underground economy.
And of course, there's an AP story we had earlier.
They're just outraged.
They're outrage that that um these illegal aliens are leaving Arizona.
Listen to this.
An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession.
Uh so I, you know, this is just everybody's outraged about this, and they're lying about what's happening to law.
And Arizona's actually acting as its own deportation instrument.
At least from Arizona.
Now here's that story from um New York.
And it's not three years ago, it's last year.
July 29, 2009.
They were flown to Paris for 6,000 bucks or Lando for $858, Johannesburg for $2,500, or most frequently San Juan.
They're not executives on bidness trips or couples on honeymoons, rather, they are families who've ended up homeless, and all the plane tickets are courtesy of the city of New York, and they are one way.
The Bloomberg administration, which has struggled with the seemingly intractable problem of homelessness for years, has paid for more than 550 families to leave the city since 2007.
And yet he says we're committing national suicide with the Arizona law.
He said we had to kick them out of the city of this New York because we have to keep them out of our expensive shelter system.
Cost 36 $36,000 a year per family.
To keep him in the shelter system.
So it's cheaper to send them a one-way plane ticket anywhere else.
All it takes is for a relative elsewhere to agree to take the family in.
That's all it takes.
By the way, you're not hearing much about this, but uh there's going to be a vote pretty soon on Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state.
Well, did they have the vote this morning?
Well, they're voting now on the yeah.
Well, there are not too many reporting it.
I've only seen it on Fox and one other um one other blog.
So anyway, it is this not the height of hypocrisy, though.
We're committing national suicide, Bloomberg says.
This is a horrible way.
And he's kicking people out of the city and paying for them to go.
It's the same premise.
They can't sustain paying for people who are not producing anything.
All right, did you um follow my suggestion?
Take my suggestion of Sherry's berries as a Mother's Day gift.
I know a lot of you Mother's Day is a week for Sunday.
It's creeping up on us.
And there's a way that you can solve your dilemma of what to get your mom or any other woman in your life who has meaning to you.

Mike in South Florida.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hi, Rush, and it's a pleasure to be here with you.
Um I have two concerns that are quite bothersome to me.
The first is on um the oil leak, uh, the big oil spill.
Yeah.
And I haven't heard anything about this, but we know what happened in the climate gate situation, and we know about the faulty research and the faulty data, etc.
And I'm sure that something like this hasn't done, but it's uh it's it's uh a thought that um is it possible that somebody on the other side might have thought in their minds for the greater good to maybe not have done some maintenance on the oil lines,
to maybe have what they thought might have been a controlled oil leak that got out of hand to try and shut off or shun the thought of having any more offshore oil drilling.
Well, um and all of a sudden we have this huge leak.
The whole thing now shifts to we shouldn't be drilling offshore because of this leak.
Yeah, I mean Charlie, Charlie Chris already led the way there on suggesting we shouldn't be doing any more drilling.
By the way, Charlie Christ, sometime today is going to announce that he's gonna go for the senator of Senate seat in Florida as an independent.
And it's being reported, it's being reported.
He reached out to Rom Emanuel.
He won he tried to call Ram Emanuel to try to get the White House behind his candidacy.
They wouldn't take the call because they're going to get behind Meeks.
Who is the Democrat in this?
You know, this is just it's it's amazing.
Now about your your question.
Sure, these kind of suspicions, the reason you haven't heard anything about it is because nobody's got any proof.
Right.
I'm I'm wondering if something has been launched to look into even something like this, that it wasn't just a spill, a break, but maybe something that was uh done purposely.
Well, there was an explosion.
There was an explosion.
Some people died uh in this.
And uh now they're trying to contain the uh the oil spill, which is pretty big.
They're trying to surround it and corral it and tow it out there, and then they're gonna caught uh set fire to it.
You know, oil floats on uh on water.
So what they're gonna try to do is have a controlled burn of this stuff.
Now, Homeland Security is investigating what happened here, which should inspire lots of confidence.
Uh that we're gonna get to the bottom of it.
And then the regime is going to have a statement here on the oil spill in the Gulf uh coming up pretty soon.
After the regime speaks on this, we'll have a better idea.
Because the regime will take this.
Well uh however this happened accidentally, well, however it happened, the regime's gonna use this for all it's worth.
We know that this is gonna so it it really doesn't matter.
Uh Mike, if this is an accident or an act of sabotage, the regime will use the occasion of this event to its own political advantage.
I gotta go, but we're coming back before you know it.
Now we played the audio soundbite earlier of President Obama saying the White House is going to put off immigration.
He was on Air Force One, he said to reporters, you know, we've gone through a very tough year, and I've been working Congress pretty hard, so I know there may not be an appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue.
There's still work that needs to be done on energy.
The midterms are coming up, so I don't want us to do something for the sake of politics that doesn't solve the problem.
Now that's Obama and experience says we take the exact opposite of what he says, because there are reports today we had it.
Dana Bash CNN reporting that three Democrats are gonna announce comprehensive immigration reform legislation later today.
So the leader of the regime is saying, nah, it's too controversial.
Uh, we can't do it if we're not really gonna have any progress on it.
Here come some Democrats.
So what this tells me is that there is on the Democrat side here, there is confusion and there is desperation.
There's not a well-oiled strategy being unveiled here.
And any Republican who helps them in this, if these Democrats do indeed bring up an uh illegal immigration amnesty bill, any Republican who helps them in this is finished.
No questions asked.
Just like you know when Charlie Christ was finished.
It wasn't the embrace of Obama on stage, it was the vocal support of the stimulus package.
That's when Charlie Christ's Momentum began to reverse itself.
And then of course Marco Rubio came along with a full-fledged dyed-in-the-wool, pure conservative message, and it was only a matter of time.
So you could say that Marco Rubio won the Republican primary before it was even held.
Because Charlie's now going independent.
All right, back to Oh, oh, I want to hit soundbite here.
Jan Brewer was on Greta's show last night, and uh the governor of Arizona uh uh we're up to number sixteen here.
Van Susteran said, Does Arizona feel abandoned by national leaders on the issue of immigration?
We do, Greg.
We have been fighting this issue, this problem that's facing Arizona probably for the last fifteen years.
And now since I've been governor since last January, I have written numerous letters to the administration in regards to securing our borders with absolutely no response.
So we uh I've been facing this crisis and it's devastating on the people of Arizona.
And I feel as governor, I have a responsibility to protect the citizens.
We've been inundated with criminal activity.
It's been outrageous.
So Van Susterin says, Well, the borders still haven't been secured.
Why do you think everybody talks about it?
But it hasn't been done.
It's very, very frustrating.
Arizona is, of course, uh catching the brunt of it all.
It is unfortunate because it is illegal.
It is their federal responsibility to secure our borders.
It's not just illegal immigration that terrorists can come across.
They're devastating our ranchers down in southern Arizona, drop houses, kidnapping, automobile accidents, extortion, uh drugs, the spillover with the drug cartels.
We're facing all of it.
And we're not going to put up with it any longer.
And I hope that now that we've got Senate Bill 1070 signed and ready to go into law that we'll get somebody's attention.
But it is the federal government's responsibility to secure our borders.
States cannot sustain it.
Rad all right, all right, all right on.
And then the next question.
I don't know whether a court will declare a portion or all of your statute unconstitutional.
There's one part that has caught many people's eyes.
President Obama has described it as misguided.
What what is your reaction to Obama's description?
He has a right to say whatever he wants to say, but misguided, I think he's wrong.
We have a responsibility, I have a responsibility to the people of Arizona.
And I'm sure he's concerned because of the Bruja Han overdramatic comments about racial profiling.
I made perfectly clear when I signed the bill that we would not tolerate racial profiling.
Our law is exactly like the federal law, and if the feds won't come in and protect us, then we will come forward and protect ourselves.
We have no other choice.
Exactly right.
We have no other choice.
It's Obama and the federal government not enforcing the law that's forcing all of this other action.
Phoenix, Arizona's becoming the kidnapped capital of the world.
Where's the outrage here?
And here's our postpartisan post-racial president now claiming that all this is is racial profiling when he knows damn well that's not what it is.
They can't nobody in Arizona can be pulled over because of their race or because of the way they look.
The cops can't engage them unless they've got reason to on some other grounds.
Traffic stop or what have you.
Suspicion of robbery.
They're just lying through their teeth about this.
And it's plain as day to anybody who wants to inform themselves about it.
Travis in Reliance, Tennessee, you're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Uh, thanks for taking my call.
I'm watching you on the cat cam, and I'm protected by carbonite.
Let me get to the reason I called you.
You mentioned earlier about the uh census takers and the unemployment.
Uh, my son and I have a small business in in South Alabama, and we've uh gone from three hundred and forty employees to a hundred and eighty employees in the last year.
Now here's now wait, wait, wait, wait.
For those of you in Rio M Linda, that means he's lost a lot of employees.
Okay, go ahead.
And my my ex-wife who lives in Gulf Shores, Alabama, her real estate business has gone to pot, so she's a temporary census taker.
Here's the lowdown on census takers.
They go through four days training.
At the time they start their training, they go on the on the employment ro roll.
After they finish their four-day training, they go into a pool.
Now, my ex-wife worked two and a half weeks as a census taker and went back into the pool.
She waited a month to try to get back to work.
She went to the headquarters to find out why she couldn't go back to work, and they were still training people on four days training, uh, even though the pool had several people waiting to get back to work.
Now wait a minute, you're just saying they had more census takers than they needed.
Absolutely, and they kept training them.
Uh-huh.
To get them on the payroll.
And that's right, and the thing is that one Because they only work four days, they're not eligible for unemployment, so they'll never get reported again as being on the unemployment rolls.
So it's nothing more than a scam to have the unemployment numbers appear to be getting better when they're not.
That's exactly right.
Well, that's what's my instinct.
That's what I mean.
If it was it was clear, you know, these dropping jobs, and nobody in this report, uh any either of the state control media outlets talking about the new jobs numbers mention census workers.
But look what a scam they got going.
Hiring all the people they don't need, rotating them in and out of the pool, still hiring more people and training them.
When they go into four-day training, that's when they go on the payroll.
Six hundred thousand census takers.
Yeah, that the number could have gone up to a million at one point what they were speculating before it uh actually began to unfold.
Thanks very much, uh Travis.
Appreciate that.
Back after a second.
Here's the mayor of New York, by the way.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday in New York City.
If other states adopt this, it's very bad for the country.
If if they're the only ones, it's good for New York because people will come here.
We make sure that we protect everybody, and we want anybody that uh if they need medical care to get it.
This is a very bad law.
Right.
Okay, so here's the governor of of Arizona can now ship them to not only San Francisco, but to New York.
While he's kicking the homeless out, he's welcoming illegal immigrants into town and promising them the medical care.
