RUSH: This is not gonna be a shock to some of you, but the very fact that it appears in the Associated Press... It's a paean to Ted Kennedy and his foresight in the 1965 Immigration Act. "It was considered a symbolic move -- President Lyndon Johnson going to the Statue of Liberty and signing an immigration bill that gave people from every country in the world an equal chance to come to America.
"The president himself described the legislation as less than revolutionary. 'It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives, or really add importantly to either our wealth or our power,' [LBJ] said during the ceremony on Oct. 3, 1965. But, he noted, the new law also would 'strengthen us in a hundred unseen ways,'" and by "us" LBJ meant the Democrat Party. 1965. You know, every time I tell people this who don't know it, they are shocked. They are literally shocked when they learn that there was no immigration in this country essentially from 1924 to 1965.
We shut it down.
We stopped it.
There wasn't any.
People who don't know that when they hear it can't believe it, and then they say,
Why?" And I say, "Because it was time to assimilate all those who had come." Some people say, "Well, what do you mean, 'assimilate'?" "Well, it was time for them to become Americans. They came from all over the world. But primarily they came from Eastern Europe, some Western Europe. But they came from, let's just say, "Europe," and they coming to a brand-new place. They wanted to become Americans; they wanted to live in America.
They brought their identities with them, but they wanted to be Americans. It took a while. It took a lot of time to assimilate these people, who wanted to be assimilated. Back in these days of immigration, that's why people came here. They wanted to be Americans. And there was a distinct American culture, and they wanted to be part of it. They wanted to prosper. They wanted to learn English, all of these things that were necessary to assimilate them. So we cut down immigration. And Ted Kennedy decided to revive it in 1965.
Everybody knows that the reason he did so was to enhance Democrat voter registration. There is no mistake about. And in '65, one of the reasons we did it was the fact that we hadn't had any immigration in such a long time it was time to kick it back into gear, and all the usual bromides and arguments were used about compassion and fairness, and, "There's only one place in the world you can come to improve yourself and better yourself, and this is it." Who were we to say no?
All of that stuff was used.
And while it was happening LBJ and Ted Kennedy were all telling us, "You're never gonna even notice it! It's not gonna affect America." LBJ's quote again here: "It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives, or really add importantly to either our wealth or our power,' [LBJ] said ... But, he noted, the new law also would 'strengthen us in a hundred unseen ways. Fifty years later, there's been dramatic change as a result of the Hart-Celler Act that Johnson signed.
"A country that was almost entirely native-born in 1965 has a significant foreign-born population; demographic diversity has spread to every region, expanding a black-and-white racial paradigm into a multicolored one." This is the AP and they're all excited by this. But here's some stats for you. Jeff Sessions put these out. He's the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration, and he analyzed it. He and a group called The National Interest, analyzed data in a new Pew Center Immigration Survey. And they calculated something incredible.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: All right, folks, here is the data. "Under current law," meaning legal immigration. "Under current law, between now and 2065, for every one American added to the population by our existing citizens," i.e., birth, "immigration will add seven more." That's under current law. "Under current law, between now and 2065, for every one American added to the population by our existing citizens, immigration will add seven more."
This has nothing to do with amnesty. It has nothing to do with any "reform," comprehensive or otherwise, that would add even more illegal immigrants to the mix. Can you say "transformation the country"? Under existing law -- before Obama even does his amnesty, before Congress maybe gets together on a comprehensive immigration reform bill, just existing law -- seven new immigrants in America for every one American added by virtue of birth. And, when you throw amnesty and all in the mix, in some sense, that's already begun.
You know, whether there's an official Obama amnesty bill or whether there's an official comprehensive immigration bill, we're flooded here at the southern border still with minors. Look at all this that's taking place and nobody's ever voted for it. And as the point has been made here: As long as the talk remains focused on illegal immigration... Illegal, the Sessions people said: Illegal immigration, while major, "is a small part of the issue." This is stunning. I had... I mean, I knew, but putting it in numbers like this is sobering way to look at these numbers and facts.
I’m glad Rush is talking about this.
The problem is not just illegal immigration.
Rush must’ve picked up Anne Coulter’s new book.
That’s right! Her book came out this summer. I haven’t read it, but I remember her talking about it.
Bttt.
Facts:
1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.
2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.
3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.
4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?
5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.
Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.
Gov. Nikki Haley, for example, is one such person - she has no love for this country and does not respect our history. Then there are the others who have been granted asylum or are here to collect welfare, such as the Somalis, only to on a jihad.

Trump’s the only person who ‘gets’ the immigration problem...
Exactly - which is why no matter how much the anti-Trumpers yammer about “tone” or “gutter politics” or how “he’s not a real conservative” or whatever other bromides they want to use, Trump will still be the candidate for a significant number of people.
And the economy outperformed. Less than 10 years after the 1965 Act was signed, the economy stagnated and unemployment became a massive issue
I haven’t read it, but I remember her talking about it.
Please ping me when Rush finally gets to the H-1B issue and calls for a shutdown of the biggest legal immigration scam.
Rubio and the rest will sweat rivers.
You're right. It's not 'tone' we're concerned with - it's the future of our country.
Trump has it right on immigration, proper medical care for vets, sane treaties that benefit America, a strong military, protecting the border with a wall, and jobs for Americans.
But MOST important Trump has the skills to make these changes happen.
Trump's life shows he's NOT 'all talk and no action'... 'not all hat and no cattle'... That said, Trump needs to cut back a little on talking about how great he is (liberals will use it to mock him) - and focus more on what he can do for the country - then WHY he can accomplish the goals he's put out for us... (that's when he can put in some of the stuff on how great he is... because he really is... but a little of that goes a long ways...)
Personally, I think it would be interesting to see Trump and Putin - two alpha males - dealing with each other.
Bet there’s be a lot more genuine understanding, if not necessarily respect, between the two. As it stands, Putin is simply rolling all over betaboy Obama.
That's insane - it's the suicide of America as we've known it.
You're right. Ever wonder why the press doesn't deal with this issue? Dems don't feed the story to their boys in the press...
He will never touch h-1b. He drank the gloBULList kool aid a long time ago.
I keep reading and hearing that but question its validity based on all the Europeans who came to this country both during and after WW-II..........
In fact, both my now deceased neighbors were immigrants from Poland.....
