'Republicans are not willing to ignore the law,' Limbaugh said. Rush: Dems want 'amnesty' voters

Rush Limbaugh charged on Thursday that Democrats support amnesty for illegal aliens because it means more votes for the party.

“If it were true that the primary reason that people (illegal immigrants) were coming here is to work, then the Democrat Party would be the ones building the fence on the border,” Limbaugh said on his radio program Thursday, according to a show transcript.


He added: “Why do you think the Democrats welcome them? Why do you think the Democrats want amnesty? They know that they’ve got them as voters.”

Limbaugh said that demographics or the view the Republican Party as less inclusive to minority groups — like Hispanics — were not to blame for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s loss to President Barack Obama.

“The only way you can say the Republicans are not inclusive is because the Republicans are not willing to ignore the law. But it is a feint. It is a head fake. It’s a trick,” Limbaugh said, according to the transcript.
