This is no conservative publication.  &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, isn\u2019t it amazing, folks, how quickly things change?  Just a couple of months ago, just back in May, remember the news media was telling us that Republicans didn\u2019t stand a chance unless they rebranded themselves and reached out to the Hispanic community by embracing immigration reform and amnesty. And if they didn\u2019t do that they may as well not field a candidate in 2016, that\u2019s how bad it was. <\/p>\n<p>If the Republicans didn\u2019t sign on to amnesty right now, if they didn\u2019t get this done before the November elections, it was sayonara. It was fini. It was totala completa fini! It was over, done, and they may as well quit.  Yet here we are, with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/senate\/212042-immigration-reform-hopes-dwindling\">TheHill.com <\/a>now telling us, quote, &#8220;Latino voters, who are the most energized about overhauling the nation\u2019s immigration laws, will have little impact on the battle for control of the Senate, with the possible exception of Sen. Mark Udall\u2019s (D) race in Colorado.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93366\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPEnd2PIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, what\u2019s happened here? <\/line><\/p>\n<p>In two months, Latino voters &#8220;will have little impact on the battle for control of the Senate.&#8221;  This is, by the way, the result of polling data.  The writer here is Alexander Bolton.  This is not his assertion. This is the result of polling data.  That\u2019s my point about how quickly things change in politics.  Just two months ago the Republicans were dead unless they signed on to amnesty.<\/p>\n<p>Now in July, we\u2019ve got data which says that Latino voters are not even going to be a factor in Senate races coming up.  Is that not stunning?  How does that happen in two months?  Well, we all know how it happened.  It\u2019s called open borders for unaccompanied children from Central America.  It\u2019s called being inundated with 300,000 illegals since April alone.  The Democrats overplayed their hand here, at this point in time. <\/p>\n<p>Now, things could change again between now and November.  You never want to count anything like this as done and in the can, obviously.  But the Hill headline: &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221;  Immigration reform has &#8220;fizzled&#8221; for the Democrats who are barely talking about it now on the campaign trail, despite making the issue their top priority in 2013 and 2004.  What issues haven\u2019t fizzled? <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the real question: What issues have not fizzled for the Democrats?  Is the economy going great guns for \u2019em?  No.  Is foreign policy going great guns for \u2019em?  No.  Obamacare?  There\u2019s some brand-new horror stories today about Obamacare I will have for you as the program unfolds.  We are learning that all of these people who think that they are going to be subsidized probably will not be in Obamacare. <\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I\u2019ll hold that thought, because I will get to it as the program unfolds.  There\u2019s a big story out of Missouri about that, but Obamacare is a mess.  It hasn\u2019t rolled out anywhere close, in any way close to the way it was promised.  There are no good vibes about it.  That\u2019s all you need to know.  You don\u2019t even need to get into the nuts and bolts.  There just aren\u2019t any good vibes.  There\u2019s no good buzz. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93368\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTruthDetectorImmigration.jpg\"\/><BR\/>There\u2019s no good PR about Obamacare. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a mess. So what issues have not fizzled?  Immigration\u2019s not the only thing that\u2019s blown up in their faces, and then here\u2019s this money paragraph again: &#8220;Latino voters, who are the most energized about overhauling the nation\u00c2\u2019s immigration laws, will have little impact on the battle for control of the Senate, with the possible exception of Sen. Mark Udall\u00c2\u2019s (D) race in Colorado.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mark Udall, just to remind you, is the guy who refused to even appear with Obama when Obama was doing a fundraiser for him.  Udall didn\u2019t even show up for it, and he was the beneficiary.  A lot of Democrats running for the Senate do not want Obama anywhere near their states.  It was just a couple of months ago the media was telling us that the Republicans didn\u2019t stand a prayer unless they &#8220;rebranded&#8221; and &#8220;reached out&#8221; to Hispanics by embracing amnesty. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93358\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ImmigrationBP.jpg\"\/><BR\/>The media was also telling the Republicans to do this even as the current tsunami of illegal aliens was already underway, \u2019cause this current tsunami started back in December, and it explains why the Drive-Bys ignored this invasion \u2019til only a few weeks ago and why, even now, the Drive-Bys are really giving it scant coverage, \u2019cause they know it is hurting the cause of amnesty. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So if it\u2019s not gonna be Latino voters who play the most important role in the midterm elections, who\u2019s it gonna be?  Well it says here: &#8220;White working-class voters will play a more important role in the midterm election compared to the 2012 presidential election. They are not energized by immigration reform. Instead, they are concerned about downward pressure on wages, which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has linked to higher immigration levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, let me take you back.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=17285\">Thomas B. Edsall, in November 2011<\/a>, writes a New York Times piece about the strategy the Obama presidential campaign in 2012, which was to write off &#8220;white working-class voters.&#8221;  Why?  Because they had lost them.  They had already lost white working-class voters, and Thomas B. Edsall writes a piece explaining this.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s very happy, thinks it\u2019s brilliant strategy. Instead, the White House is gonna focus more and more on minorities and the poor for their base turnout.  Well, there is a practical result of that reality, and it is now white working-class voters are the most important voters coming up in the midterms, according to all of these polls.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I just want to share with you one more little short paragraph from this Hill.com story: &#8220;Democratic strategists admit their party\u2019s record on immigration reform will do little to help candidates this year, although they predict it could be a potent weapon in the 2016 presidential election.&#8221; Now, stop and wait just a damn minute here.  For the last how many years have we been hearing that the only issue that will save the Republican Party is amnesty? <\/p>\n<p>We have been inundated with this. We have been beat upside the head with this. We have been told day in and day out that we\u2019re racists and bigots if we oppose it.  We\u2019ve been told that we are not being honest, and it isn\u2019t amnesty. It\u2019s &#8220;compressive immigration reform,&#8221; and it\u2019s the only thing that can save the Republican Party.  Republican consultants have been repeating this. <\/p>\n<p>Republican so-called conservative media types have been spreading this, have been repeating it.  It\u2019s been everywhere in the Drive-By Media. Everywhere.  Now here we are a few short months from the 2014 midterms: &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221;  Folks, it never was.  This is such&#8230; This is more &#8212; I don\u2019t know &#8212; fraud, trickery, rebuke, manipulation, what have you. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93359\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushImmigrationRunsAmericaAMnesty.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They have attempted &#8212; the pro-amnesty forces have attempted with the sycophantic assistance of the Drive-By Media &#8212; to portray the majority of people in this country as pro-amnesty.  That never has been the case.  The majority of the country is not for open borders. The majority of the country is not for erasing the border. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>How in the world can you go from years and years of promises that the Republican Party is dead unless it signs on to amnesty, and then two months from the election, we get a story about how, &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats&#8221;?  You want to say, &#8220;Well, Rush, this thing at the border going on now, it kind of blew up in their faces.&#8221;  No, why?  This is exactly what they\u2019re talking about.  What\u2019s going on at the border is us as &#8220;a humane country.&#8221; It\u2019s opening our borders. It\u2019s letting people in to &#8220;improve their lives.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Comprehensive immigration reform? You\u2019re looking at it!  This is what most people instinctively know.  It\u2019s why they oppose &#8220;comprehensive immigration reform,&#8221; because we are seeing what it will lead to.  It has never been a majority issue.  It has never been the issue that\u2019s gonna save the Republican Party.  It\u2019s never been the issue that the Republican Party needs to adopt in order to win.  It can\u2019t have been, if the media is now saying that the Democrats are not even gonna be helped by it. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s another bit of trickery and tomfoolery.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, I\u2019m just saying I don\u2019t think it\u2019s ever been true, and I think that people putting and promoting it know it hasn\u2019t been true.  This idea that the only issue that can save the Republican Party is amnesty, I thought that\u2019s BS from the get-go.  It defies common sense.  An issue that\u2019s gonna strengthen the Democrat Party is the only salvation for the Republican Party?  It\u2019s never made any sense. <\/p>\n<p>We know these are Democrats-in-waiting.  We know the Democrats look at this as a voter registration program.  What in the world was anybody really thinking, that this is the future of the Republican Party?  They got Chuck Schumer and all these other Democrats supposedly worrying that the Republicans are never gonna ever win the White House again unless they sign on to amnesty?  When has Chuck Schumer ever cared about the Republicans winning the White House?  Never.  He doesn\u2019t now, he didn\u2019t last week, and he never has. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a lie from the get-go.  It\u2019s been fraudulent reporting from the get-go.  And everybody in the Beltway, in the establishment, has been in on it.  The only question is, for me, how many Republicans know all of this is BS and are saying it anyway versus how many of them have actually been fooled by it, who actually believe that their only salvation is immigration reform, i.e., amnesty, versus how many are just saying it for campaign donations. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93367\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaImmigrationSHORT.jpg\"\/><BR\/>But it\u2019s never made any sense.  It has never passed the smell test.  I\u2019m still amazed by this story: &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221; And I know some of you, &#8220;Rush, it\u2019s a trick. It\u2019s a media trick. It\u2019s designed to get you to lay down your &#8211;&#8221;  No, no, no, no, it\u2019s not, because it isn\u2019t.  What in the world about what is happening with unaccompanied children flooding America is a positive?  What about it is a positive for anybody?  I mean, it\u2019s a positive for the Democrats down the road, but how is this helping America? <\/line><\/p>\n<p>I mean, what about this has got people standing up and cheering and wanting more of it, is the point, and the answer is, none of it.  It\u2019s got people standing up and saying, &#8220;Stop, no more.&#8221;  It does not have people standing, applauding and saying, &#8220;Let \u2019em all in. Bring even more in.&#8221;  So tell me, how in the world is this a positive?  This is what has exposed, in my view, the truth of comprehensive immigration reform.  And I think it\u2019s something that\u2019s backfired on the Democrats. <\/p>\n<p>I think this is something that is designed &#8212; there\u2019s no way anybody, common sense, smell test, there is no way anybody can convince me that if you trace it back to last December, if you trace it to January when we had the memo posted by the government seeking transportation companies for these kids, don\u2019t forget that, there was a memo, job listing memo posted by the Regime seeking logistics and transportation companies to be able to transport this influx of kids when it began to all parts of the country.  That went up in January. <\/p>\n<p>The number since April, according to New York Times, between 240 and 300,000.  They\u2019re not coming from Mexico, but from El Salvador and Ecuador and Guatemala.  It takes 45 days to get here.  This is a coincidence?  It just happened because of corruption and poverty and what have you, in their own countries, which has been the case for a while, nothing new about that.  You go back to 2012, the DREAM Act, where Obama just with the stroke of his pen said that anybody here under 16 illegally is now legal and you can stay, sends a message to others. <\/p>\n<p>A piece in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.weeklystandard.com\/articles\/disorder-border_796395.html\">Weekly Standard here by Scott W. Johnson<\/a>, couple paragraphs.  &#8220;Many Americans are deeply disturbed by the &#8216;situation.\u2019 They resent the expenditure of resources.&#8221;  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8910\">Hello, Bernadette Lancelin,<\/a> the black woman in Houston who\u2019s fed up the money is being spent on these kids when there are American kids in need.  Now, let\u2019s not open a can of worms.  I know, she\u2019s probably really upset that Obama\u2019s spending money on the kids from Obama\u2019s stash.  But still she\u2019s ticked off about it, instinctively she gets it. <\/p>\n<p>The appropriation of money for these facilities is four billion. What do you need four billion for?  Didn\u2019t we just commandeer seven billion from a bank because of the way they behaved during the subprime mortgage crisis? We just fined some bank seven bill, just take that money.  Why do we need four billion new dollars for this?  People instinctively understand that.  Four billion, for what?  They\u2019re not being medically screened. They\u2019re not being housed permanently. They\u2019re already being shipped out to all parts of the country.  What\u2019s the money for? <\/p>\n<p>By the way, as I read the news accounts of the fate of Obama\u2019s legislative request for four billion, what I hear is the amount is the least contentious aspect.  Yeah.  The amount of money is the least contentious aspect of it, meaning he\u2019s gonna get it. Once they dot the I\u2019s and cross the T\u2019s of the details of this, he\u2019s gonna get the money, \u2019cause the Republicans don\u2019t want to be seen as racist and so forth, even though there\u2019s none of that involved here anymore. That never was the case. That was manufactured, too.  That\u2019s every bit as fraudulent as the idea the Republicans will never win the White House again unless they embrace amnesty. <\/p>\n<p>Republicans are seen as racists and bigots and whatever else because they oppose.  How can that be if this is not a big issue for the Democrats anymore?  Many Americans &#8220;fear the public health consequences of their dispersion, with reports reliably indicating, despite attempts to suppress the information, the presence of tuberculosis and other unwelcome conditions among them. They also suspect that the president of the United States supports the situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course he does!  It is his plan.  It is his program.  The reason he doesn\u2019t want to go to the border is because he cannot be seen welcoming the kids to their new home.  And he\u2019s not gonna go down there and tell \u2019em to go back.  That\u2019s not the point. <\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s this, ladies and gentlemen.  &#8220;Conditions have not suddenly changed in the minors\u00c2\u2019 home countries. So far as we can tell, the cartels and their customers have a sophisticated understanding of American immigration law (it prohibits the immediate deportation of minors &#8216;other than Mexican\u2019),&#8221; the noncontiguous aspect.  They have a very sophisticated understanding of the law and how the White House enforces it, i.e., DREAM Act.  They don\u2019t enforce it.  The president signs a piece of paper and they get to stay.  &#8220;The cartels have figured out where the hole is.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>This is all part of a grand strategy.  It\u2019s not massive refugees from a war-torn Bosnia or a war-torn whatever.  It is a planned strategy with many people being involved that has political objectives in this country.  I think a lot of people instinctively know that this that\u2019s happening right now is exactly what comprehensive immigration reform would mean, which is why it does not have majority support, which is why it never has had majority support.  How in the world can we be told that a political party\u2019s only hope to ever win the White House is to sign on to legislation that does not even have majority American support?  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93396\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichelleObamaImmigration_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: There\u2019s a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/Big-Government\/2014\/07\/11\/Michelle-Obama-to-Latinos-We-Can-t-Wait-For-Congress-to-Fix-Immigration\">Breitbart story<\/a> today: &#8220;In New York City, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) convention, promising that her husband would act on his own to fix the broken immigration system.&#8221;  The League of United Latin American Citizens.  I wonder what countries in Latin America they are the citizens of? <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now, ladies and gentlemen, in case there is one scintilla of doubt that Obama and the Democrats are encouraging this flood of illegal aliens, let me read to you from the article, quoting Moochelle Obama. &#8220;Obama reminded the attendees that they couldn\u00c2\u2019t wait for Congress to act on their future and urged them to seize opportunities on their own.&#8221;  Do you know what that means?  The first lady of the United States of America was encouraging citizens of foreign countries to break American law. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Obama reminded the attendees they couldn\u2019t wait for Congress to act on their future.  No, no, no, no.  And she urged them to seize opportunities on their own.  Quote, &#8220;We cannot afford to wait on Congress to lift up our next generation. We can\u00c2\u2019t afford to wait on anybody when it comes to our kids\u00c2\u2019 future.  Your grandparents and parents didn\u00c2\u2019t wait for opportunities to come to them. No, they packed up their families and moved to this country for a better life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is there any doubt here, folks, she just encouraged this flood of illegal aliens and is encouraging them to break the law.  How else do you interpret this?  She &#8220;reminded the attendees that they couldn\u00c2\u2019t wait for Congress to act on their future and urged them to seize opportunities on their own. &#8216;Your grandparents and parents didn\u00c2\u2019t wait for opportunities to come to them.'&#8221; Nope, they packed up their families and they crossed the border for a better life.<\/p>\n<p>And again, I don\u2019t think too big a deal can be made of this, the story that\u2019s at TheHill.com today: &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221; I\u2019m gonna tell you, I know I\u2019ve focused on this some today, but this to me is the story of the day.  How many years have we sat here and been insulted and told that we are racists and sexists and bigots and all of that because we don\u2019t support comprehensive immigration reform, which we all understand to be amnesty? <\/p>\n<p>And then after we\u2019ve been insulted, then we have been warned, we have been told that the Republican Party, unless they sign on to this, will never, ever win the White House again, ever. That they won\u2019t even continue to be a viable political party, unless they sign on to comprehensive immigration reform, as defined by Obama and the Democrats, which is amnesty, and I don\u2019t care what anybody says. They\u2019ve even warned me personally:  &#8220;Rush, it isn\u2019t amnesty.  It\u2019s not amnesty.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Well, what\u2019s Michelle Obama talking about, then?  What\u2019s going on here at the Southern border?  They\u2019re crossing and they\u2019re being dispersed all over the country and placed in the homes of families, some of whom may not be citizens themselves.  They\u2019re not gonna be deported.  They\u2019re not gonna be sent back.  What is it?  But the point is that here we are a few short months from the election, and I\u2019ve got multiple stories about how Obama\u2019s toxic for the Democrats. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_93402\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichelleObamaImmigration2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I mean, there\u2019s a story at TheHill.com here.  I put it at the bottom \u2019cause I wasn\u2019t gonna get to it.  I thought it would be redundant.  But, &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/212098-obama-the-pariah\">Obama the Pariah<\/a>,&#8221; it\u2019s called, and the article is nothing but quotes from Democrats upset with Obama about a lot of things: the economy, Obamacare, what\u2019s going on at the Southern border, you name it, because there isn\u2019t anything going right.  There\u2019s nothing happening out there that any Democrat can run on and say, &#8220;Vote for me, I\u2019ll give you more of it.&#8221;  There\u2019s nothing positive happening out there and Obama is identified as the cause at the center of all of it. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But, folks, how do you go from years and years and years of being told the only way your party can win the White House is to just gulp and sign on to immigration reform, the only way, and then you hear your own party officials repeating it, and you think, &#8220;My God, how stupid\u2019s everybody gotten?  The Republicans are out there talking like this.&#8221;  And instinctively you knew that it was a crock. Instinctively you knew because there is not majority support in any poll anywhere in the country for it. <\/p>\n<p>And yet all of these powerful interests on Wall Street and American Big Business, corporatists and so forth, everybody saying, &#8220;We gotta do this or we\u2019re done. We gotta do this or we\u2019re toast. We gotta do this or we don\u2019t have a political future, and if you don\u2019t get it done we\u2019re all gonna bomb out. It\u2019s gonna be your fault,&#8221; they said to us.  The other side of this is, &#8220;It\u2019s a slam dunk for the Democrats. My God, we\u2019ve got to get on board. We\u2019ve gotta stop the Democrats, why, if they own this issue, why, they\u2019re gonna win everything!&#8221; And here we are two months, three months before the election, and the issue has fizzled as a campaign advantage for the Democrats?  How does that happen? <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m telling you, the only way it can happen is if it was never true in the first place.  And I submit to you that it wasn\u2019t in the first place.  It has never been the case that the only hope the Republican Party has is to get out front on immigration reform.  I hear Democrat after Democrat warning the Republicans, under the guise of trying to help them. Chuck Schumer is the first name to come to mind, but there are many others: &#8220;If you guys don\u2019t get on the right side of the issue with these Hispanic voters, you\u2019re never gonna win the White House again,&#8221; as though they care about us winning the White House. <\/p>\n<p>This is huge to me.  This is huge, the level of fraud and deceit that\u2019s been perpetrated here, and now two months before the election it\u2019s exposed as just that.  It\u2019s just a little story here, Hill.com: &#8220;Immigration Reform Fizzles as Campaign Issue for Democrats.&#8221; And you got Michelle Obama out there virtually inspiring more of this.  There isn\u2019t any question that this is intentional. There isn\u2019t any question that this is what\u2019s desired.  I mean, for crying out loud.  &#8220;Don\u2019t wait for Congress to lift up our next generation&#8221;?  And she\u2019s not talking about Bernadette Lancelin\u2019s kids in Houston.  She\u2019s talking about our next generation as coming from Central America, Mexico, wherever. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just mind-boggling.
