BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: And not only that, Obama cannot give them work permits. Obama cannot hand out benefits to these people. That is appropriating money. Only the Congress can appropriate money. Only the Congress can write law that appropriates benefits. The president just can't start handing out things like this. He can't do it.
Now, this action tonight, it does bring the governors into the equation, but I don't know quite how that's gonna work out yet. Only time will tell. Governor Perry, Texas, is gonna sue him. Well, how long is that gonna take? I mean, but the governors are gonna be brought into this somehow. This is not just gonna happen in a vacuum. Our previous caller was on to something. It's just we're gonna have to wait and see how it all shakes out. 'Cause this is uncharted territory.
We've never had a ceremony where the Constitution was violated. We've never had a primetime address with a nation tuning in with a bunch of people throwing a party where the Constitution gets clipped. In a way, parts of this are unprecedented. And this assertion of prosecutorial discretion, he's rewriting federal law and he doesn't have the authority to do that.
This isn't prosecutorial discretion. I mean, they're using it, and they've got Toobin out there on CNN trying to back him up. But that's not even what they're doing. Because he's rewriting law here. Even he admits that. Executive amnesty, executive action, executive order, he's writing law. In addition to not enforcing it, he's writing law. He doesn't have the authority. He has said it himself, Obama has, repeatedly, a year ago, over and over, when he said he wasn't an emperor. He has no power in this matter, let alone any kind of discretion in legislating.
By the way, I asked just before the break, is anybody asking why he's doing this? There are a number of different answers to that. I mean, one straight-up answer is that he says he's acting because Congress won't pass a law that he demands. Well, tough toenails, Mr. President. That happens all the time. Just because Congress doesn't give you what you want doesn't mean you have the power to go make it happen. It's called separation of powers.
The Constitution's being corrupted and perverted and stood upside down on its head tonight, and everybody is throwing a party. Well, people on our side are not throwing a party, but everybody's all hopped up and excited to watch. This offends my sensibilities like I can't begin to even describe to you.
Now the "why is he doing it?" Well, of course some might say he's concerned with his legacy. Frankly, I think legacy is the last thing on his mind here. I don't think that's where Obama's ego goes. I know he's got a big ego and all that. Folks, let's take 12 million, 20, whatever the number is. What is the pressing need to do this? There is no need to do this. This is all politics. The inspiration, motivation, demand, desire, whatever it is propelling this is all politics. It's not compassion. It's not concern for human beings. It's none of that.
That's not why this is happening. It's not because the immigration law is broken. It isn't. It's just not being enforced. The immigration law on the book is fine. It's actually quite good. You're not allowed to be here illegally. And if you're found you'll be deported. It's just not being enforced, and because it's not being enforced, Obama's running around saying it's broken and he wants Congress to give him a new law, and they won't so he's gonna write his own. He can't.
This is how fragile our system is, the honor system. Adherence, respect for the Constitution, if that's not present, if you elect a president that does not have that respect or reverence for it, then it isn't any good. It's just a piece of paper. It may be hundreds of years old, but it's just a piece of paper, and in this case it's a meaningless piece of paper to our current president. And if it doesn't mean anything, then it can't get in his way.
This is how precarious -- well, what if, we have how many, 43 previous presidents? What if any one of them at any point in our history, "You know what? This Constitution, this is bollocks" and just threw it away and created his own government? You're shaking your head. (interruption) Snerdley is saying it would never happen like that. The press would stir it up, somebody would throw 'em out.
It's happening is my point. And the press is not stirred up. The press is supporting it. The press is doing everything they can to make this happen. The press is encouraging this. The press is providing cover for this. The press is not defending and protecting the Constitution, even though they are specifically spelled out in it. The press has become totally compliant and slavish to the emperor. But there's another reason why. Why do this? What is the practical result of this?
After he does this, you're gonna have more foreign workers that are all of a sudden flooding the job market. You're gonna have 5.5, six million people after tonight legally, quote, unquote, flooding the job market. That number is greater than the number of jobs that have been created in this country since 2009, since Obama took office. This is going to overwhelm the country's abilities. It's going to overwhelm the free market economy, the free enterprise economy. It is going to overwhelm the welfare system.
It's going to put pressure like we've never seen. This is going to totally break down any semblance of order. This is a direct attack on the structure and foundation of this country, is what this is. And it's all being disguised as compassion for the downtrodden and the homeless and the hungry and the thirsty and the abandoned and the separated and what have you. And others say, "No, it's restitution for criminal acts committed by this country long ago. It's simply getting even." There's all kinds of reasons for doing this. But those that would fall under the label of common sense, you can't find any.
It's just mind-boggling here to absorb all this. And it's classic. Create a crisis out of nothing, and then build it and build it and build it and build it. And then get to the point where we gotta do something immediately or else, like the financial crisis. "If we don't do these bailouts in 24 hours, the world financial system's gonna collapse." And two weeks later they were telling us the same thing. "You got 24 hours to do TARP or else it's curtains for the world economy." Two weeks later they were still telling us we had 24 hours.
This is part of Obama's sworn objective to transform this country into something that it was not founded to be. And the sad thing is, you've got political partisans on both sides who claim that it'll benefit them. Chamber of Commerce, "Hey, man, we'll get some cheap labor here to clip the hedges." And on the left, "My God, look at all the brand-new underclass registered Democrats we're gonna have in a few years." I don't know. It's an abject disaster.
END TRANSCRIPT
I can grant that. However I don't understand why he would completely screw over black AMERICANS with this EO.
I remember when Jesse Jackson used to march for "jobs".
Notice how you NEVER hear that phrase come out of black leaders mouths anymore?
Why not?
Do black "leaders" actually WANT "jobs" for black Americans?
Their silence on the amnesty matter says NO.
he is doing this because he knows that the republicans will not do anything about it. And if they do, they will be called racists by every single media outlet under the sun. They are old and don’t understand the way that they newer younger generation works. Seth Godin says is best, you have to be the first story out there for people to grab onto, REGARDLESS of what the second story is. This is Obama’s challenge, he is testing the waters and he will notice that nothing will be done and will continue his destruction of America.
yep...and because of this they are going to take him down and all of his commie buddies with him. I’m in!
Because it's hundreds of millions of Hispanic non-whites who live just across our southern border. If Asians or Africans or Arabs lived there, Obama would let millions of them come in illegally and allow them to stay.
He would not allow East Europeans or white South Africans to come in by the millions and stay. There would be strict enforcement of immigration laws.
He really thinks Americans are stupid and have had it too good for too long, so here's payback.
I believe the only good that will come of this is that it puts the dimocrat party on the endangered species list. I think this will finish the destruction of the party that his reelection and radical policies has started.
Still not good for the country otherwise.
They are all trying for what they think will be a majority of non-whites who will take political control of the US and have what they were never able to create in nations where they have been the majority: a wealthy and successful nation.
That dream is far more important to minority 'leaders' than any short-term plight of their people.
He hates whites. He sees immigration as the only way to destroy whites. Not a mystery,
Caesar O’Bastarda is doing this now to throw a wet towel on the historic Republican rout of ‘14. This is meant to demoralize the right, the Tea party and to show how truly feckless and craven the Republican leadership really is.
Marxism is about revolution and destruction of the bourgeois class. Race is just one of the communists' covers/tools. Obama would sacrifice a millions blacks to achieve a marxist revolution.
exactly.
What is a few eggs to make an omelet ?
The left doesn’t care about blacks or Hispanics or gays, these grievance groups are TOOLS and nothing more.
-—”I didn’t, and am still glad I didn’t vote against my conscience.”
And so by default, you gave us this... Thanks a lot, pal.
You get on your high horse and proudly preach about how “you didn’t vote your conscience,” but do you realize that by not voting AGAINST Obama (for the non-Obama candidate), you enabled Obama to win? What’s so hard to understand about this?
I fault stubborn voters who didn’t understand this simple calculation - for all the evil that has affected us by this regime.
Romney wasn’t the ideal candidate, but can you actually say you prefer this fascist Marxist to Romney?? Romney had flaws but he didn’t want to destroy this country.
I’m pissed.
P.S. Please don’t make the same mistake in 2016 if we don’t get the perfect opposition candidate to fight the left-wing fascists.
Then you are OK with the greater evil.
You are to blame as much as Harry Reid, Chris Matthews and Obama.
At least Rush’s career will get a bounced from tonight’s announcement, up to the point they either block him from broadcasting or throw him in jail on some trumped up charges. But that’s better than having Romney as POTUS, right?
“The first day 10 came. They protested at the White House, directing their anger at the President. They were immediately arrested. The next day, 20 came, and so on, each day, until the White House was surrounded and the jails were filled with political prisoners.”
I’d rather have Mitt Romney as President then that arrogant pos that currently occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Cloward/Piven Strategy is to OVERWHELM the System that we have and COLLAPSE our GOVERNEMNT making way for the DICTATOR!! IT”S HERE!!!!! It’s not even COMING....it’s HERE!!
