Shadowlands - If the NSA Can Track Anyone Anywhere, Why Can't We Find 10 to 11 Million Illegals Living in the Shadows? - The Rush Limbaugh Show

I just happened to hear this well expressed and thought provoking comment today. 
This is more than just rhetoric, it is an honest concern with our ownership, as citizens, to the individual's right to privacy. 
It begs a question: Why would an illegal alien want to to come out of the shadows of individual, un-traced privacy, when legal citizens are under constant surveillance? m/r

If the NSA Can Track Anyone Anywhere, Why Can't We Find 10 to 11 Million Illegals Living in the Shadows? - The Rush Limbaugh Show
June 12, 2013

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT [excepts]
RUSH: Full disclosure, I received a phone call from Senator Rubio this morning about an hour ago, a little over an hour ago.  He had gotten wind of something I had said earlier this week in response to his interview with a Spanish language network outlet in which he said that legalization must happen first and then border security second.  And I said it's a little disappointing.  I was under the impression that Senator Rubio was in or out based on border security. Look, all of this is academic anyway, folks. 
The overriding thing to remember here is that this is not supposed to become law right now.  Just is.  This is supposed to die in the House.  Don't forget, it's a campaign issue. This is supposed to get through the Senate, supposed to get over there, supposed to die in the House so that the Democrats have a campaign issue for the 2014 midterms.  There's nobody that's gonna be able to talk me out of that belief.  I know we've got sound bites from Boehner saying, "No, no, no, we can get this bill passed."  He's saying that, but I think the design here --
...
There are 11 million, 10 million, 20 million, whatever it is who were here that we can't find unless we grant them some pathway, unless we do legalization, we can't identify, they're in the shadows, they won't come forward.  What good is the spying program? 
... tell me, how do I retreat to the shadows and join the 10 to 11 million illegals in the shadows so that I, too, cannot be found.  [Me too!]
