I must have a sixth sense. Martha started talking amnesty about 10 minutes after I tuned her in (about 10:30-ish AM) while I was working on enforcement legislation today. I wish I could listen everyday, as I am pretty sure she pushes another amnesty a lot more often than I have time to listen to her. Amazing.
I’ll point out more of the significant holes and inaccuracies in today’s goop later (for now, please see the * red asterisks in the transcript and corresponding links below).
*1 see here. *2 see here. *3 see here. *4 see here.
I trust Martha will air corrections to these inaccuracies.
In today’s episode of “Martha pushes amnesty-again” we learn that temporary visa holders (H1B info here) are apparently victims of the system, amnesty should be done on a “case-by-case basis”, not include any of the illegals Biden invited in, and the way I heard it, we should consider amnesty for illegals who have legal immigrants or U.S. citizens in the family (putting new worth to anchor babies). And that Martha thinks that if an illegal alien obtains an ITIN, that somehow indicates the illegal paid (income) taxes. It doesn’t.
Amnesty is not about “paying taxes”…but nice try, Martha. Yikes.
There is a lot more. Martha seems to change her mind quite often on amnesty. Here is another example.

Transcript of part of The Martha Zoller Show today on WDUN radio, Gainesville:
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
“[inaudible 00:00:00] the problems that we have. One, we have this six or seven million, maybe more, that have come in in the last three years that we know nothing about, and I would agree 100% that these folks, uh, that we need to make sure they go back to their home country. There is no doubt about that. They have not established a life here. Um, I don’t think we’re gonna have time to do asylum claims, and I, quite frankly, don’t think they have legitimate asylum claims. I think they are a function of bad management by the Biden Administration and negligence, okay? That’s, and I think I could be very clear about that.
When you go back to other folks, you have people that are victims of legal immigration, and those are people that are on H-1B and H-1A visas who are waiting inordinate amount of times to get their green cards, and because of that, they’re like indentured servants under the visa that they’re on. *1 They can’t change jobs. *2 They can’t move. They can’t, uh, *3 their spouses can’t work. But yet, they have followed all the rules, they have filled out all the paperwork, they have done all the things that we have asked them to do to be legal immigrants and to get green cards and to have a path to citizenship, but we, the United States of America immigration system, are holding them up, okay? That’s another section. So, you’ve got the section they came in over, you know, al- over time that, over *4 the three years that need to be shipped back. Um, then you’ve got the folks that are here legally, have filed the paperwork, are waiting for things, are waiting inordinately for things, and it is our fault as a federal government that we are not doing the things we promised to do for these people that have filed the paper correct, paperwork correctly.
The third group is the mixed status family group, okay? They are people that have been here all levels of time. Uh, you know, they could’ve been here 20 years, 30 years, 40 years. They’ve could’ve been here 10 years. But, they have mixed status families. They have families that have illegal immigrants in them. They have families that have legal, um, immigrants. They have natural-born U.S. citizens in these families. I believe, and the last thing the DA pulled out, he pulled out just part of this instead of the whole explanation, that those need to be looked at case by case, okay, because I think that somebody, for example, maybe they’ve already filed for a tax ID number. They’re already filing income taxes. *They’re about a million of those out there that, and if they’ve already gotten a tax ID number, they’re filing taxes every year and they’re paying their taxes, I think that’s a different category than somebody who’s just here living off the lam.
So, it’s a complicated issue is what I’m saying, and I don’t think that because I’m willing to look at the nuances of what this issue is that, um, that I am somehow anti, um, immigration reform. I just think I’m looking at it a little more clearly. So, you can join us on the phones on that at 770-535-2911. I do believe, next to inflation, it’s the single biggest problem we have going into this election. Inflation and higher interest rates and the more that everything is costing us is the number one thing. The number two thing is this illegal immigration, and let me tell you something, the- the- the cost of this is great monetarily, but there’s a bigger cost involved in this three years of unfettered illegal immigration, and that is there are probably today a terror cell in this country that is planning to do something. We stopped one, uh, on the border. We stopped a guy with a, uh, explosive advi- device, and Border Patrol were able to get him and keep him from coming in the country, but how many of those are already here?
* And, I know there are gonna be people that when something like this happens, and it will, I hope it won’t be bad, uh, but they’re gonna blame, you know, people that were willing to look at the issue fairly, and we’re not gonna blame the right people. The terrorists are the people we need to blame every single time when a terrorist attack happens, okay? People didn’t do things to deserve to be a part of a terrorist attack, and we need to look at things importantly in that area.
Um, Paul from Gainesville said, “Why has the UGA administration been silent on the Mideast war and violent protests?” Well, Paul, they haven’t been silent about it. Uh, Jere Morehead put out a very strong statement right at the beginning, and they have been very clear about not allowing, um, uh, protests to get out of hand.
They have allowed peaceful protests, but they have not allowed the threatening of Jewish students on the University of Georgia campus. The University of Georgia and the University of Florida were the two universities that came out first and most strongly. I know there’s an article, I got sent the link myself, uh, that said UG, that UGA has said nothing about it. That’s not true. They said it very, very early and very, very strongly that they weren’t gonna put up with- with, um, with people intimidating folks on the campus. Uh, so I’ll see if I can l- I can find the actual statement, because I read it on the air when it came out, uh, when it came out a couple of months ago, I mean, a couple of weeks ago. Let’s take a break, and when we come back, we’ll talk more.
Announcer:
This week on [inaudible 00:05:32] time change safety checks, and most likely cars to be stolen, NASCAR-
minutes later, a caller: Richard:
Uh, whatever you want to call them that come across our border, uh, and, and I’m hearing numbers like five, six, seven, all the way up as high as 10,000,000 people, and as you know, they don’t have a green card, they can’t work, and the federal government has to be supplying them with food and housing and clothing.
Uh, where’s, where’s that in the budget? Where, where do they get the money for that?
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
Yeah, I think… Well, what’s happening is, is they are, and, the, the official numbers, okay? What the, the Department of Homeland Security will admit to, is it’s about 2.3 million for this last fiscal year, about two million for the year before that, and it was a little less than two million for the year before that.
So we see t- a steady increase of what they’ll admit to, okay? Then there’s this whole class called Gotaways, which could be any number, okay? But you’re right. Um, there are certain things the federal government provided for them and the budget, bu- the money came out of the, uh, border security budget, uh, and it was thin- for things like phones and transportation and that kinda thing, you know, there was a big hoopla that, that, that the state department was charging people to get ’em out of Israel but every day they’re flying people from the border to a city of their choice at no cost.
I mean there’s just this inconsistent way of dealing with things that’s just wrong. Then they’re pushing ’em all out into cities where, for example, uh, New York City is spending about $10,000,000 a day on housing, and that’s coming from the New York City taxpayers, uh, and so w- even though they’re spreading it around, taxes are taxes right? Right? You know. (laughs)
Richard:
That’s right.
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
I mean, y- taxes are money that they’re taking from you whether it’s state, local, or federal, that they’re taking from you that they have to have to run things, ’cause government has no money without you giving it to ’em, right?
Richard:
That’s right.
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
That’s right. So, it’s a big mess, and this is just at the feet of Joe Biden and the fact that he reversed everything that President Trump did. President Trump had gotten that number down to about 500 people a day. Okay, now it’s about 15,000 people a day, and, you know, it’s, it’s… He had also gotten all of the children who were, you know, because what’s happening is these children are being sent through, sent through by themselves. There’s also a whole lot of military aged men that are coming through by themselves.
It’s, it, I mean, I just cannot tell you, Richard, how scary this whole things is and, and, you know, just yesterday the border patrol, uh, encountered somebody and turned ’em away that had an explosive device.
So it’s just a matter of time, I d- I hate to scare people but it’s a matter of time.
Richard:
What is, what is, w- you know, the, the question that I keep asking, and I’ve even called, I’ve called my representative, what is the end game on this? Where, where does this all end, where does it, where does it w- they’re doing this on purpose and, d- but why? What, what, why are they doing this?
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
Well, I have to tell you, we’ll talk more about that. Um, Logan, is the music playing? Not yet. Got another minute, okay.
[inaudible 00:03:16].
Martha Zoller Republican radio show host:
… so we’ve got, you know, what the end game is, is, is to neutralize what it means to be an American. You know, if, if anybody can be an American then it doesn’t mean anything. And if citizenship doesn’t mean anything… And look, like I said before, there are people that have come here the right way that are waiting an ordinate amount of time because so many resources are being used on the people that are coming here illegally, and that’s just wrong. It’s just wrong.
Um, we’ve got to really straighten this stuff out, and we’re not gonna straighten it out by having more of the same with Joe Biden, and it’s time for republicans and independents and, and democrats that are considering this to get behind a republican candidate so that we can get Joe Biden outta office before he does anymore damage.
So… And when we come back we’re gonna be talking to Alan Dershowitz, one of my favorite people, he’s one of the th- one of the biggest-named lawyers in the world, and he is gonna be talking about-
Closing out her show with something like: You know, I have some fun with people like D.A. King and Dave the liberal…but we have free speech … and we do it (maybe “talk about it” together. I had turned my recorder off.
