Laura Ingraham: This is ‘POLITICAL SUICIDE’

[0:00] AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE WRONG [0:02] LESSONS. [0:03] THAT'S THE FOCUS OF TONIGHT'S [0:06] ANGLE. [0:07] WELL, THEY'RE NOT AMERICAN [0:09] CITIZENS, THEY'RE NOT LEGITIMATE [0:11] REFUGEES OR ASYLEES, BUT THEY [0:13] THINK THEY HAVE DEMOCRATS ON [0:15] THEIR SIDE AND THE TRUMP TEAM [0:18] OVER A BARREL. [0:19] WE'RE HAPPY BECAUSE THAT [0:22] GRINGO IS LEAVING, THAT WICKED [0:24] MAN, AND HE WAS A MIGRANT JUST [0:26] LIKE HIS FAMILY. [0:27] WE'RE PROUD AND WE'VE BEEN [0:29] PRAYING TO THE VIRGIN OF [0:31] PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK, WE'RE [0:33] NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING WRONG. [0:35] HE HAS CALLED ALL OF US [0:37] CRIMINALS WITHOUT KNOWING ANYONE'S [0:38] BACKGROUND. [0:39] OKAY, THIS IS ALL [0:41] PREDICTABLE. [0:42] AND THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS RIGHT [0:44] AROUND THE CORNER. [0:45] SO REPUBLICANS JUST TOOK A [0:47] POLITICAL WHOOPING AND THAT [0:49] MEANS IT MUST BE TIME FOR US TO [0:51] BE HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF [0:53] IMMIGRATION AMNESTY PAST. [0:55] THAT'S 2006, 2007, 2013, 2024, [1:00] EVEN IN 2025. [1:02] PEOPLE BASICALLY DON'T WANT THIS [1:03] BILL. [1:04] TO SAY THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN IS [1:06] REALLY TO REMOVE RESPONSIBILITY [1:07] FROM POLITICIANS WHO REFUSE TO [1:09] ENFORCE THE CURRENT LAWS AND [1:11] ALSO INDIVIDUALS WHO WILLFULLY [1:12] BREAK THEM. [1:13] THE BILL WOULDN'T HAVE [1:14] STOPPED THE INVASION. [1:15] IT WOULD HAVE SIMPLY [1:16] REGULARIZED THE FLOW. [1:17] MAYBE MANAGED IT A TINY BIT [1:18] BETTER. [1:19] AS PREDICTABLE AS MOSQUITO BITES [1:21] IN SUMMER, THE PRO-AMNESTY [1:22] LOBBY IS BANGING THE DRUMS AGAIN. [1:23] EVERY TIME REPUBLICANS FIND [1:24] THEMSELVES BEHIND THE EIGHT [1:26] BALL POLITICALLY, THEY GO BACK [1:31] TO THE ONE ISSUE THAT SINKS [1:33] THEM WITH THE MIDDLE CLASS IN [1:34] THEIR BASE. [1:35] IT'S POLITICAL SUICIDE. [1:36] THE ONE ISSUE THAT IS NON- [1:39] NEGOTIABLE WITH THE VAST AMERICAN [1:43] MIDDLE CLASS, THE CORE GROUP THAT [1:45] PUT TRUMP IN THE OVAL. [1:46] OF COURSE I'M TALKING ABOUT [1:48] IMMIGRATION AMNESTY DRESSED UP [1:50] AS IMMIGRATION REFORM. [1:51] REPUBLICANS ONCE AGAIN BADLY [1:54] MISREADING THE ELECTORATE [1:55] BECAUSE VOTERS SHOWED UP OR [1:57] STAYED HOME NOT BECAUSE OF [1:59] IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT BUT [2:01] BECAUSE OF CONCERNS ABOUT GAS [2:03] PRICES, THE IRAN WAR AND AROUND [2:05] THE EDGES, YES, CORRUPTION. [2:06] THIS MORNING, DHS SECRETARY [2:08] MULLEN TOLD REPORTERS THAT HE [2:11] IS OPEN TO BIPARTISAN [2:13] IMMIGRATION OVERHAULT THAT [2:15] COULD PROVIDE PERMANENT LEGAL [2:17] STATUS TO SOME UNDOCUMENTED [2:18] IMMIGRANTS WHO ARRIVED IN THE [2:20] U.S. AS CHILDREN. [2:21] THEN IN LANGUAGE HAUNTINGLY [2:24] SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HEARD FROM [2:26] THE BUSH, MCCAIN, TED KENNEDY, [2:28] JIM LANGFORD, GANG OF EIGHT, GANG [2:30] OF 13 CROWD, THE SECRETARY [2:32] INSISTED THAT THE DEAL WOULD BE [2:34] BIPARTISAN BUT THAT AMNESTY IS [2:36] OFF THE TABLE. [2:37] THE PRESIDENT CHIMED IN LATE [2:39] TODAY AS WELL. [2:40] AND IS SOME GRAND BARGAIN [2:42] REALLY IN THE WORKS? [2:44] YOU BE THE JUDGE. [2:45] WE HAVE A VERY STRONG [2:48] DEPORTATION POLICY. [2:49] THERE'S NO AMNESTY. [2:50] NO. [2:51] WE WANT TO GET THE WORST OF THE [2:52] WORST AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT [2:53] HAPPENS. [2:54] BUT THEY CAME IN ILLEGALLY. [2:55] MANY OF THEM HAVE GOOD JOBS [2:56] NOW. [2:57] THEY'RE PRODUCTIVE. [2:58] SOME OF THEM ARE EVEN PAYING [2:59] TAXES AND WE'RE SEEING WHAT'S [3:01] GOING TO HAPPEN. [3:02] THERE WON'T BE AMNESTY. [3:03] SOMEBODY SUGGESTED WILL THERE [3:05] BE AMNESTY? [3:06] NO. [3:07] BUT THEY CAME IN. [3:08] THEY KNEW THE LAW. [3:09] AND WE'RE WORKING WITH A LOT OF [3:11] DIFFERENT GROUPS TO SEE WHETHER [3:12] OR NOT. [3:13] BUT MY POLICY HASN'T CHANGED. [3:14] IT'S A LOT TO UNPACK THERE. [3:17] WE'LL DO THAT WITH THE PANEL. [3:19] BUT THE MAGA COALITION THAT WAS [3:22] FRACTURED POST-IRAN WILL FOCUS ON [3:24] HIS LAST LINE. [3:25] THAT HIS POLICY HASN'T CHANGED. [3:27] GOOD. [3:29] IT SHOULDN'T. [3:30] OF COURSE THIS NEW RUPTURE IN THE [3:32] MAGA BASE COMES ON THE HEELS OF [3:33] AN INTERVIEW THE PRESIDENT DID [3:34] LAST NIGHT ON 60 MINUTES WITH [3:36] ROSS DOTHAT. [3:37] IN THAT INTERVIEW THE PRESIDENT [3:39] FLOATED A BUSH-McCain-LIKE [3:41] IDEA OF WORKING WITH THE [3:43] DEMOCRATS ON SO-CALLED [3:45] REFORM. [3:46] WE WOULD WORK SOMETHING OUT AND [3:48] I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S [3:49] ACTUALLY DOABLE. [3:50] DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATIC [3:52] PARTY RIGHT NOW HAS PEOPLE IN IT [3:54] WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS [3:55] KIND OF DEAL? [3:56] I THINK SO, YEAH. [3:57] PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY CALLED ME. [3:58] AND WHO IN THAT GROUP COULD [4:01] BE TRUSTED? [4:02] THIS GUY? [4:03] THERE'S A WIDE VARIETY OF [4:06] ISSUES THAT WE COULD WORK [4:07] TOGETHER ON. [4:08] IMMIGRATION IS ONE OF THEM. [4:09] I THINK TRYING TO PASS [4:11] COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM [4:12] THAT INCLUDES BORDER SECURITY. [4:14] WE SHOULD FIGURE OUT A PATHWAY [4:17] TO CITIZENSHIP FOR THOSE [4:18] HARD-WORKING NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE [4:19] BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND DECADES [4:21] SO THEY CAN COME OUT OF THE [4:22] SHADOWS. [4:23] ANYONE ELSE HAVING [4:25] FLASHBACKS TO 2006 WITH THE [4:27] BUSH PLAN, THEN THE MCCAIN [4:28] PLAN, THEN THE GANG OF 13 PLAN, [4:30] THEN LIKE, THIS IS, IN OTHER [4:33] WORDS, IT'S AMNESTY. [4:34] MILLIONS OF NEW VOTERS, MILLIONS [4:36] MORE THROUGH CHAIN MIGRATION [4:37] BECAUSE, YES, THEIR FAMILY IS [4:38] GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME TOO [4:39] IF THEY'RE BACK IN THE HOME [4:40] COUNTRY. [4:41] SO IT'S THE SAME OUTCOME BUT A [4:45] DIFFERENT YEAR. [4:46] IT'S WHAT THE DEMOCRATS IN THE [4:48] CHEAP LABOR LOBBY ALWAYS WANTED. [4:50] AND THEY RELENTLESSLY PUT [4:52] PRESSURE ON BRAVE POLITICIANS [4:54] LIKE DONALD TRUMP. [4:55] BUT IS IT EVER WHAT THE TRUMP [4:57] COALITION WANTED? [4:58] THE ANSWER IS NO, RESOUNDINGLY [5:00] SO. [5:01] CONSIDER THE NUMBERS. [5:02] EXIT POLLS SHOW THAT REPUBLICAN [5:04] VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT [5:06] ISSUES. [5:07] THEY WANT THEIR FAMILY. [5:08] THEY WANT THEIR FAMILY. [5:09] OUT OF THE VOTERS WHO APPROVE [5:11] OF THE WAY ICE IS HANDLING ITS [5:13] JOB, THE FOX NEWS VOTER POLL [5:15] ANALYSIS REVEALS THAT 92% ARE [5:16] REPUBLICANS. [5:17] AND IF ANYTHING, REPUBLICANS [5:18] THINK THE ADMINISTRATION WASN'T [5:19] TOUGH ENOUGH ON THE [5:20] ENFORCEMENT SIDE. [5:21] THEY WANT WHAT TRUMP CAMPAIGNED [5:23] ON, MASS DEPORTATION. [5:24] LOOK, WITH THE NEWS THAT [5:26] STEPHEN MILLER WAS APPOINTED [5:27] CHIEF OF STAFF, WELL, THAT [5:29] WAS WELCOME. [5:30] THAT WAS JUST LIKE THE GREATEST [5:32] THING ON FRIDAY TO THE MAGA [5:34] COALITION. [5:35] IT SIGNALS THAT THE PRESIDENT IS [5:38] SERIOUS ABOUT REBUILDING WHAT HE [5:40] PUT TOGETHER IN 2015, 2016, AND [5:43] AGAIN IN 2024. [5:44] THE MOST POWERFUL, THE MOST [5:47] SUCCESSFUL VOTING BLOCK THAT [5:49] REPUBLICANS HAD SEEN SINCE [5:50] REAGAN. [5:52] NOW, MILLER IS THE REAL DEAL ON [5:54] IMMIGRATION. [5:55] LIKE TRUMP, HE HAS ALWAYS [5:57] UNDERSTOOD THAT ILLEGAL [5:58] IMMIGRATION IS A THREAT TO OUR [6:00] SOVEREIGNTY, TO OUR MIDDLE [6:01] CLASS WAGES, TO OUR SAFETY, [6:03] AND YES, TO OUR NATIONAL [6:05] SECURITY. [6:07] SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE [6:09] THAT THE PRESIDENT, WITH ALL OF [6:11] HIS POLITICAL ACUME, WOULD EVER [6:13] COMPROMISE THE ONE INDISPENSABLE [6:14] PILLAR HOLDING UP HIS WINNING [6:16] COALITION BY GIVING THE ENEMIES [6:19] OF AMERICA FIRST ALL THE NEVER [6:21] TRUMPERS WHO HATE HIM, ALL THE [6:23] BIG BUSINESS PEOPLE WHO NEVER [6:24] WANTED HIM TO SUCCEED, TO GIVE [6:26] THEM AN IMMIGRATION GIFT BEFORE [6:28] 2028? [6:30] SO I HAVE AN IDEA. [6:32] I DO THINK LAW STUDENTS ALSO [6:34] EDUCATED, BUILASAN IMAGES THREATS [6:35] WANT AMNESTY AND THEY WANT OPEN [6:37] BOARDERS, THEY CAN RUN ON THOSE [6:41] ISSUES IN 2028 AND THEN LET'S [6:43] SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
