He said there have been &#8212; over the course of the last five years since the fall of 2008 &#8212; over 203,000 people who have come into Texas illegally who have been booked into county jails in Texas.  Rick Perry said this.  He said that these people have accounted for over 3,000 homicides, over 8,000 sexual assaults!<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93848\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaPerryBorderPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Rick Perry, as you know, has said he\u2019s going to deploy the Texas National Guard on the border down there.  So this morning Reuters has the exclusive scoop that &#8220;Barack Hussein Obama!  Mmm!  Mmm!  Mmm!&#8221; has sent a team of &#8220;experts&#8221; to the border to assess whether there is any need for him to send the National Guard down there.  I\u2019m not kidding.  Obama\u2019s still not sure that there\u2019s any problem on the border. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Obama and his buddies are saying that the border\u2019s secure.  So a team of experts is gonna go down there.  I guess it\u2019s the same bunch of experts in St. Louis that concluded that years-long survey. We reported it yesterday. They found an amazing fact, that if you reduce the length of time people are on unemployment benefits, they\u2019ll get back to work faster.  Can you believe it?  A federal study! <\/p>\n<p>We could have told them this for one-tenth what they paid for it. <\/p>\n<p>Now, that sounds like a laughing stock.  Folks, let me tell you something: The people that did this think they learned something.  We\u2019ve got to understand who it is we\u2019re dealing with.  It\u2019s no different than back in the mid-nineties when the editorial board at TIME Magazine really thought they were on to something when somebody had news that men and women are actually different. <\/p>\n<p>That was such a shock that they made a cover story out of that, that men and women are different, and they\u2019re born different, too.  So now in St. Louis&#8230; Well, that\u2019s the dateline of where it was reported, I think. It\u2019s a federal study, and they actually admitted that after a lot of interviews and a lot of data study, they found that the shorter length of time people are on unemployment benefits, the faster they go back to work. <\/p>\n<p>Can you believe it? <\/p>\n<p>They think they discovered something that was unknown. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHL93GZTLD0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They think they discovered something that was earth shattering.  What did these people learn when they were growing up?  Is common sense ever, ever in their lives?  Obama needs a team of experts on the Southern border to go down and study whether or not there\u2019s a problem when he\u2019s got governors all over this country, all over the border who are going crazy trying to protect the people that live in their states? <\/p>\n<p>Now, if Obama\u2019s team of experts &#8212; if they get back alive, \u2019cause, I mean, that news that Governor Perry had last night? I mean, 203,000 people in the last five years were booked into jail.  That\u2019s not the total number that came across. That\u2019s just the number came across ended up in jail &#8212; and of those 203,000, 3,000 homicides, 8,000 sexual assaults.<\/p>\n<p>So Obama\u2019s team of experts could be in danger as they go down and study the border.  If they get back alive, and if they are able to report their findings to Obama, maybe then Obama will then appoint a blue ribbon panel to study the problem a little more in depth.  This is the way liberals do things. <\/p>\n<p>They send an exploratory panel down there; they come back and say, &#8220;Yeah, we may have a little problem here in this stretch,&#8221; and Obama says (impression), &#8220;All right, blue ribbon panel.&#8221; He\u2019ll announce it at the White House and the blue ribbon panel will be there, and that announcement will take the place of actual accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment of the blue ribbon panel will equal the problem being dealt with and we\u2019ll move on to something else.  They\u2019ll report back to him sometime after the midterm elections. That\u2019s usually the way Obama tackles these kind of problem.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93850\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ImmigrationBP.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: Frederick, Maryland.  We\u2019ll start with Walt, and so you have the honor of being first today, Walt.  Thank you very much for calling.  Hi.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  Thanks for taking my call.  Hey, I just wanted to call to see if you would help refresh my memory from a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Sure.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  If my memory recalls, wasn\u2019t Obama just down visiting Rick Perry where he turned down a trip to the border because he knew everything that was going on down there?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, yes, he did refuse numerous invitations to go to the border.  Whether he said because he knew what was going on or not, I don\u2019t recall.  That could be.  I don\u2019t remember him saying that, but he didn\u2019t go.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I thought that he made the statement that everybody was keeping him up to date and he knew everything that was going on down there so there was no reason for him to go there himself.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, you may be right because he did say that the border is secure.  Right.  So somebody would have had to tell him that.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s a little ironic that after he turned down that opportunity, now he\u2019s going to send his experts down there to see what is really going on down there.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, I think Rick Perry forced his hand.  Look, remember, Obama is a guy&#8230; Perry, I think, is illustrating how it\u2019s done here, by the way.  I was talking to a friend of mine late last night.  We were again marveling, folks, at the absolute absence of any ideological political partisan party push-back against Barack Obama. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>We were remembering what it was like, the way the Democrats treated Reagan, the way Reagan treated Democrats, the way he\u2019d react to them. He told people what they are, what they were all about.  None of that going on now.  I know the racial component of Obama is a big factor. <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_93849\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ImmigrationBorderPatrolPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>There\u2019s just a fear.  But something else we were discussing is that inside Washington, inside establishment Washington, there isn\u2019t that much disagreement with what Obama\u2019s doing.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Because they\u2019re all part of the Government-Is-the-Center-of-the-Universe Crowd.  They\u2019re all part of the Corporate Cronyism Crowd now where government and big money get together, form alliances, and that\u2019s that.  Lobbying is the key.  Both parties do it.  There\u2019s no push-back against Obama because many Republicans, when it\u2019s their turn, want to be able to do much the same thing, although not ideologically, but still have the same kind of power. <\/p>\n<p>The thing here is that Obama goes out and says, &#8220;Well, no! We\u2019re secure down there. I see no problem. Everything is hunky-dory.&#8221;  Then Rick Perry calls his bluff.  Rick Perry takes a bunch of media people with him to the border and shows \u2019em what\u2019s going on. We got pictures.  &#8220;Uh-oh, worst thing can happen,&#8221; and then Perry sends the National Guard troops and says, &#8220;I gotta protect the people of my state. We\u2019re being overrun here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of forced Obama\u2019s hand. <\/p>\n<p>There are pictures now.  There are pictures of what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n<p>The Regime had made sure that didn\u2019t happen, that there were no pictures of these recruitment centers or treatment centers or halfway houses that these kids are being run through. Now there pictures.  So the Regime is forced now to act like they\u2019ve just discovered a problem, may be a problem.  They\u2019re gonna look into it now.  They\u2019re never gonna acknowledge that Perry was first and Perry was right. <\/p>\n<p>But it is, I think, a good way of exposing Obama. <\/p>\n<p>It takes action and pushback, and Perry\u2019s doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So Rick Perry was on TV last night, ladies and gentlemen.
