This one really suits the previous post! Anyway...
Here's three TRUISMS from El Rushbo (courtesy of DailyRushbo):
'Washington doesn’t want to shut down illegal immigration!'
"Let's cut to the chase. Here's the fundamental point. This is why it doesn't matter what Obama says, and it doesn't matter what Senator McCain says, and it doesn't matter what amendment is offered, and it doesn't matter what Senator Rubio says.'There’s another alternative on immigration...Nothing!'
The American people don't want this, and they don't want it for intelligent, wise, substantive reasons. The 1986 amnesty bill was called Simpson-Mazzoli. The 1986 law required Congress to secure the border, and it didn't. In 1986, virtually everything being promised and assured now was promised and assured then, and it didn't happen. That's why we're back here again doing this all over again, because what they promised and what they assured us about securing the border and closing it down didn't happen.
There was a law in 2006, and we talked about this a bunch of points in time previously this week. A 2006 law requires Congress to build 700 miles of fences. They built 36 miles and they stopped. There have been amendments offered to finish the job. It's already the law! It isn't being enforced. So amendments have been offered in the past two weeks to finish the job of building the fence. The amendments have failed.
The American people are not stupid. The American people can see that Republicans and Democrats, that Washington, does not want to shut down illegal immigration. That's really the nub of this. Senator Rubio -- and I don't mean to pick on him. All of them: McCain, Graham, Schumer. Any of them can say anything. They can offer any amendment. Corker-Hoeven, whatever.
But it is patently obvious by virtue of their actions and their votes (forget their words 'cause those don't matter) that they don't want to stop illegal immigration. And the purpose of this legislation is not to stop it. Washington simply doesn't want to curtail the flow of illegal, undocumented Democrats crossing the border."
"You know, there’s another alternative on immigration.'Our immigration system isn’t ‘broken’!'
Nothing!
The alternative to what is being planned — nothing — is much better than the alternative. Do nothing! Just stop and let’s gather our thoughts and let’s start again. Let’s think about this, and come up with a real plan. (interruption) Oh, it doesn’t matter what we do, the Hispanic people are not gonna like us. That’s a false premise. I don’t want to hear that premise. The fundamental point is, we have been promised law after law after security after security, and none of it happens.
The option of doing nothing, as opposed to what the Democrats want — the option of doing nothing, as opposed to what Washington wants — is a good option."
"Our immigration system isn’t “broken,” by the way. It isn’t broken. Do you know the United States has probably the most generous legal immigration laws in the world? Every year we, in the United States, admit more legal immigrants than all other countries in the world combined, by a wide margin. Legal.Three TRUTHS that DC demagogues deny and lie about incessantly.
Europe has lost control. There may be a flood of illegals into France and the UK, but I’m talking legal. We do not have a system designed to keep people out in that sense. We’re not isolationists. We’ve got nothing to apologize for, in that sense, to the Hispanic community or anybody else. This notion that we have to apologize? I’ll tell you. The root of that is that what we have to apologize for is taking California and New Mexico and Arizona. That’s what that’s all about, just like we have to apologize with never ending affirmative action for slavery.
But we have nothing to apologize for right now.
We don’t have a “broken” immigration system, either."
