RUSH: It\u2019s the same thing. If you let every illegal immigrant arriving on a given day, if you let them in, the word\u2019s gonna spread to others and they\u2019re gonna show up. There are some people out there saying, “Rush, the only humanitarian thing we can do is process these seven or 8,000. Look good to the world, make Trump look good to the world. Let these seven or 8,000 in and get rid of issue.” It isn\u2019t gonna get rid of the issue!<\/p>\n

If these seven to 8,000 — maybe 10,000 by the time they get here. If we let them in, officially conferring some kind of legal status on them. Folks, you can say good-bye to having a border. All it\u2019s gonna do is send a signal to everywhere else in the world to show up, which is what\u2019s already happening because we have a lax policy and because we haven\u2019t been taking seriously border security. Yeah, ICE is on the move, and we\u2019ve been deporting more people than ever.<\/p>\n

But more people are coming and getting in, too, including MS-13 and other various degrees of ne\u2019er-do-wells. But the idea, “It\u2019s the only humanitarian thing to do, particularly leading up to the election, Rush. We have to show that we love people.” What is this we have to show people things? The idea that we have to prove that somehow we\u2019re not cold-hearted is that myth. We aren\u2019t cold-hearted. We are not mean-spirited. We\u2019re probably the most tolerant, loving group of people in the country right now, American and conservatives and certain Republicans.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019ve got to do something to protect the sanctity of the borders of the country. Like I said yesterday: Send FEMA down there. If you really want to deal with this, rather than just having… Wait! You remember the scene from Blazing Saddles? How about we do this. How about we create the Donald J. Trump Thruway and Tollbooth and we build this little tollway somewhere out in the middle of the path and these people have to pay a little toll to get through it like happened in Blazing Saddles?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m joking here. Send FEMA down there. Send a bunch of trailers down there and process them and acknowledge that they showed up, acknowledge that they came. But don\u2019t let them cross the border. If they cross the border, make them do that using force. Make them demonstrate what they are really about and who they are, \u2019cause I\u2019m telling you again: This is not some organic, humanitarian thing that just decided to coalesce coincidentally on the same day and say:<\/p>\n

“Hey! Instead of going to the afternoon supermarket, let\u2019s go to the United States some 1,500 miles away,” and they start the trek. They\u2019ve still got a thousand miles to cover on foot by Election Day in two weeks, which is not possible. So they have to be, at some point, being motorized or driven somewhere. Our asylum process is already overwhelmed. By the way, they don\u2019t qualify for asylum anyway. They qualify for asylum in the first country that borders theirs, which is not us!<\/p>\n

But let me tell you… Who…? Who was it that wrote the current legislation on this? Ted Kennedy, Dianne Feinstein? It might be Feinstein. There is… (sigh) I wish I could think of the actual name of the legislation. But the impact of it is that we have to show more consideration to people who come from Central America than from Mexico in our asylum and entry policy. It was originally intended to dissuade people from Mexico from wantonly attempting to immigrate or cross the border, but it\u2019s had the exact opposite effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It has forced people that want to come into the United States to first go down to Guatemala or El Salvador or Honduras and start the trek from there, because current U.S. law makes it easier to get into the country if your trek starts south of Mexico. And that\u2019s a lot of what\u2019s going on here. But if you in any way permit this mob to enter the country after the trek, you may as well just send out engraved invitations to anybody else around the world and say, “Come on in!”<\/p>\n

We just can\u2019t do that, and I have no doubt that whoever is behind this is attempting to pressure border control, American political systems. It\u2019s designed to make people, I think, put up their hands like some are say, “We can\u2019t stop it, Rush. We cannot stop it. We just gotta let \u2019em in. We can\u2019t stop it.” I think it\u2019s almost a variation of Cloward-Priven or Piven, these two sociologists who believe that the way to really transform America — the way to really get this country right — is to destroy it by overwhelming the warfare state.<\/p>\n

Just letting as many people as possible demanding and claiming benefits to the point they cannot be paid, there isn\u2019t the money. Have the whole system collapse and then the left will be there to rebuild it in their image based on the disappointment and anger of the people who were left out. That is a strategic plan (it\u2019s right alongside the Alinskyitis) for literally destroying the United States by overwhelming the social safety net apparatus.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s, I think, another microcosm of what this mob is.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a visual aid that shows America being overrun. It illustrates America is by itself in wealth and prosperity and that we owe it to the rest of the world to share it. It\u2019s not fair share we have so much and they have so little, and they live so relatively close. Don\u2019t doubt the politics of this for a minute, and they are not humanitarian. The politics of this are decidedly related and associated with an assault on America for the purposes of transforming it into the kind of country the Obamaites were seeking and failed to accomplish, thank goodness.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and Mickey. Great to have you, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush Limbaugh. It\u2019s a pleasure, my friend. I feel like I\u2019ve known you all my life.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good man. God bless you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve got a comment regarding all of these people heading up to the United States. I believe it\u2019s a no-win situation for Trump. And what I think he should do is call upon the international community, go before the U.N. and say, “Look. We need assistance. We\u2019ve got this humanitarian crisis about to happen. And we need to have some holding facilities in Mexico to care for these people, to allow them to begin the process of formally entering the United States on a legal basis.”<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: Now, Mickey, wait just a second. You know as well as I do that Trump is never gonna do this. He\u2019s never gonna ask anybody else in the world to come up and have holding centers built. We can do this ourselves. He\u2019s never gonna ask people to do this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we could do it ourselves, but the idea is get an involvement of the rest of the world. Say, “Hey, look we\u2019ve got a situation here. You know, if you don\u2019t want this sort of thing happening to you, you should take note of it and do what you can to help us resolve it here.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: And what would be the benefit of this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, protecting their own borders in the future. If a similar situation occurs in France or —<\/p>\n

RUSH: You want us to join… What nations do you want Trump to ask to help us protect our own borders?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I would ask… Well, it\u2019s not protecting our border. It\u2019s alleviating a humanitarian crisis. Forget our borders. This is Mexico\u2019s problem right now. This isn\u2019t even the United States\u2019 problem. They may be heading here. It could be Canada\u2019s problem. They may (unintelligible) United States and go to Canada. Who knows! Maybe Alaska.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You think Mexico is going to accept this as one of their problems?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it is a problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. Mexico is standing aside and letting \u2019em proceed and is even escorting them.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know, but once they get to the border and they can\u2019t get in, it\u2019s Mexico\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Then if it\u2019s Mexico\u2019s problem and everybody understands this, then we should stand aside and wave at \u2019em from our side of the border and say “talk to the Mexicans. That\u2019s where you are right now. We can\u2019t let you in. It\u2019s up to the Mexicans to feed and clothe you and get you your Porta-Potty.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, again, if you provide some sort of international humanitarian situation. I mean this has been done before in different countries, this is a humanitarian crisis. Help Mexico to deal with the situation that they have before them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I just gonna tell you, if that happens, if we do this, we built a tent city out there, it\u2019s gonna become permanent. They\u2019re gonna be a permanent tent city administered by us and our allies on Mexican desert land that\u2019s gonna be a magnet for others to join it. But the tent city is not gonna hold \u2019em. Their express… You think it\u2019s not an immigration issue; it is. Their express purpose is to flood the United States. Their express purpose is to storm the border and flood in. They don\u2019t want to be held in tent cities or humanitarian holding centers and especially in Mexico. These people don\u2019t want to stay in Mexico. They\u2019ve the chance to stay in Mexico about, oh, a hundred miles or so ago, and they just keep moving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
