Thank you for holding, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I am great. Longtime, long, longtime listener, first-time caller. Let me get to the point. They say that one in three women or children are raped coming to America through the border. Doesn\u2019t that make at least one in three of the illegal men rapists or, if not, serial rapists coming through? And why is nobody right, left, or center talking about it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: What is the stat that you\u2019ve heard? One-third of women &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, approximately one-third, approximately, I understand I\u2019m conservative so I might be wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-292211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111518-Immigration-Caravan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111518-Immigration-Caravan.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111518-Immigration-Caravan-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, no. Is this in caravans like from Honduras or Guatemala, or is this just the normal run-of-the-mill illegal immigration crush at the border from Mexico?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Again, I\u2019m not positive, but as I understand it, it\u2019s just the normal.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: One-third of women face rape on the way &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Women or children. Women or children.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And they\u2019re facing rape or they\u2019re being raped?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: They\u2019re being raped, women and children. That\u2019s what they say on TV.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So your point is that means that somebody\u2019s raping them?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And that those people are probably part of the crowd trying to get into the country, and therefore the left is sponsoring a bunch of rapists being allowed into the country.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yeah, and pedophiles.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, yes, of course, pedophiles. Absolutely right. Well, I have a vague memory recollection of this statistic. I\u2019m not actually certain of the &#8212; it sounds too easy to criticize. I am not sure that the rapists, the alleged rapists are actually part of the crowd, the caravan or whatever immigrating, that they are just part of the populations that these great pioneers have to traverse on their thousand-mile journey from Central America to the southern border that they face &#8212; not that the men in the group are rapists.<\/p>\n<p>As you point out, that would defeat the whole purpose. These people are not considered to be in any way &#8212; I mean, you start talking about the criminal makeup of this group and the left immediately hits you back as a racist. If you utter any criticism whatsoever of any of these people trying to get in the country illegally, you are immediately attacked as a racist and a bigot. So I will have to check. I appreciate the call, though. Thanks, Travis.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-295995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-010819-Ryan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-010819-Ryan.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/APP-010819-Ryan-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here are the stats on the rapes and immigration. We had a caller say that one-third of women face rape on their way to the southern border. That means somebody\u2019s raping them. Are they being admitted into the country? Are the Democrats sponsoring rapists? I mean, that would be the natural progression or conclusion you would draw. Back on January 2, so six days ago, Kevin McCarthy &#8212; Republican member of the House of Representatives &#8212; claimed that 33% of the women in migrant caravans are raped or treated violently.<\/p>\n<p>He &#8220;declined to answer a question on how Mexico would pay for Donald Trump\u2019s border wall through the USMCA, instead claiming that one-third of women in the migrant caravan have been raped or &#8216;violently treated.'&#8221; He didn\u2019t say by who. So that\u2019s, you know, open to interpretation. Now, you can look at that stat and you can have a number of different reactions to it. Okay, one reaction would be, &#8220;Well, then don\u2019t show up! You know, stay in El Salvador, Guatemala, or whatever.&#8221; The other way of looking at it is, &#8220;My gosh! They\u2019re being raped on the way. We gotta let \u2019em in. Oh, my God. Open the border.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We gotta go down there and we gotta help \u2019em get in!&#8221; Which would be the reaction that the left would have. <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/151835\/reality-behind-migrant-caravans\">The New Republic, a so-called journal of liberal opinion<\/a>, back on October 23rd last year claimed, &#8220;An estimated eight in 10 [or 80%] migrant women and girls are raped while traveling through Mexico.&#8221; The New Republic was citing figures from the U.K. Guardian report from a year earlier, October 5th, 2017, in which they reported &#8220;80% of the women and girls who cross Mexico to get to U.S. border are raped on the way. The situation is so common, the U.K. Guardian says, that most of them take contraceptive precautions as they begin&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think I get this now. (wailing) &#8220;It\u2019s so bad, it is so dangerous that 80% of women and young girls are raped, and they still come, how could we say no? Despite the fact that they know they\u2019re gonna be raped and they\u2019re gonna be abused and they\u2019re gonna be mistreated, they still come! How can we keep them out?&#8221; I see why these numbers are being used now. Eight out of 10? That\u2019s a big number. Even one-third is a big number. Why in the world would we want any part of it? See, we wouldn\u2019t. The play is for sympathy. &#8220;How can we keep them out?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can we continue to subject \u2019em this kind of inhumane treatment by closing our border? It\u2019s just not right &#8212; and since that\u2019s probably the play, and I would raise my hand as one of the first to just disavow these numbers &#8212; 80%? It\u2019s so common, they begin the journey with contraceptives? Where do they get those? Now, wait a minute. We\u2019re talking about Guatemala, El Salvador. Where do they get those? Is Planned Parenthood down there passing the stuff out as they hit the starting line for the caravans?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Kevin McCarthy &#8212; Republican member of the House of Representatives &#8212; claimed that 33% of the women in migrant caravans are raped or treated violently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":295943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
