Larry Elder Talks Deficit Reduction

[Don]

Elder, by his own admission, was recruited into talk radio by Dennis Prager, another open borders, pro-War neo-con. Prager has always been a big booster of illegal immigrants, touting their "family values", blah, blah, blah.

Except for George Putnam, now dead, and Ray Briem, retired off the air, most of the so called "conservative" talk radio people were pro-illegal immigration until very recently. That includes Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved and probably others. Retired Al Rantel, who does voice overs, was vehemently pro-illlegal when he first came to LA and denounced American nationalists as "racists."

John and Ken were kind of agnostic on the issue, but for the last 6 or 7 years have been militantly anti-immigration.

I seriously mistrust Elder. He's good on racial issues (i.e. blacks who flunk tests should study hard and do better next time instead of filing civil rights lawsuits), but he's pro-war, pro-Bush and pro-free trade. Why has he changed? For the same reason many others have gone through the motions...his audience will no longer tolerate open borders types. His transformation, such as it is, shows the deep seated hostility to illegal immigration and the power of the wrath of grass roots Americans. That is all these turncoats understand.
