RUSH: I used to read The Economist. It is a British magazine that focuses on economic matters. It\u2019s also a journal of opinion disguised, and my memory is that The Economist — and I\u2019m talking 20 years ago, now, 25 years. I haven\u2019t read it in a long, long time. It used to be approved reading by the intellectual right. My memory was that it was valuable here and there. It had some decent insight. But they\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n

Look at this: The Economist explains how Donald Trump may be making life easier for MS-13<\/a>, the street gang. This is very long, typically long. The Economist\u2019s argument, the point is Trump\u2019s tough talk is encouraging and emboldening the street gang MS-13. That\u2019s right! Tough talk at the North Korean lunatic dictator? That\u2019s just making him bigger! That\u2019s just making him tougher. That\u2019s just steeling his resolve.<\/p>\n

Now Trump is doing the same thing — he\u2019s talking tough on MS-13 — and what\u2019s happening? He\u2019s making them bigger! Let me ask you a question: What is the status of illegal immigration in the country today versus when Trump was inaugurated? In fact, let\u2019s just measure it year over year. Illegal immigration is way down, is it not? I mean, it\u2019s down by a factor of millions, is it not? It is, folks. Don\u2019t doubt me. Have we had any significant changes in the law?<\/p>\n

Has there been any comprehensive or otherwise immigration reform or new legislation? The answer is, no. There hasn\u2019t been any substantive change whatsoever. How has Donald Trump been approaching the issue? Well, since the middle of 2015, he\u2019s been talkin\u2019 tough on it, and he\u2019s been tellin\u2019 people we\u2019re going to build a wall — and he\u2019s been telling people that if they come in illegally, we\u2019re going to track them down and we\u2019re going to deport them.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been telling people if they\u2019re here illegally and we find them we\u2019re going to deport them. The point is Donald Trump has been talking tough on illegal immigration, and what has happened? It\u2019s way down. The number of people trying to get into the country illegally is way, way down. Now if you listen to the left, Donald Trump\u2019s tough talk on illegal immigration should have them pouring over the border.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s tough talk on illegal immigration should be making these illegal immigrants and their coyotes and their supporters twice or three times as committed to get in here. But it\u2019s not working out that way. Just the enforcement of existing law — the promise to enforce existing law, the threat to enforce existing law, the commitment to build the wall, the tough talk, the committed talk on the policy — is actually working.<\/p>\n

It is causing there to be a massive, major reduction in the numbers of people attempting to get into the country illegally. There\u2019s documented evidence that tough talk is working. Honest, tough talk is working. Yet, tough talk with Kim Jong-un? “Oh, no! It\u2019s going to lead to nuclear war! Oh my God, we\u2019re going to die!” Same thing with MS-13, according to The Economist. Donald Trump is making life for these gang members easier and easier. He\u2019s talking tough and he\u2019s just helping them recruit more members.<\/p>\n

Now you can\u2019t have it both ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
