It's an Invasion, Not Immigration
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | August 19, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/19/2015 11:48:54 AM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: Jeff Lord, who writes for the American Spectator, also has a piece for the Conservative Review he has out now. He's just been hired by CNN to do analysis and commentary, and he sent me a note late last night and he was digging around... He's been intrigued by this kerfuffle that Trump started in which he claimed that Mexico is sending us their human debris. Mexico is purposely sending us their worst.

Mexico is getting rid of the people they don't want; they're sending them here. And he said that he had a faint memory of a news story that would actual confirm this, and he searched and searched and he found it, and I'm now holding that story right here my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. It's from the Associated Press. It was published at ArizonaCentral.com, January 16th of 2008. So almost eight years ago. Not 7-1/2 years ago, this story ran.

"A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora traveled to Tucson to make the case against Arizona's new employer sanctions law[.] The lawmakers say it will have a devastating affect [sic] on the Mexican state. At a news conference Tuesday, they said Sonora cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers in Arizona return to their hometowns without jobs or money." In other words, the Mexican government sent representatives, the equivalent of our state senators and representatives...

"

The law, which took effect Jan.1, punishes employers who knowingly hire individuals who don't have valid legal documents to work," and those people get deported. "Businesses found violating the law face suspension or loss of a business license. The [Mexican] lawmakers were to travel to Phoenix Wednesday for a breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators." The Sonora delegation, rather, was going to "travel to Phoenix Wednesday for a breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators. ... 'How can they pass a law like this?' asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales. 'There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona,' Amparano[-Gamez] said in Spanish."

In other words, what Trump has been saying is right: Mexico does actively send undesirables here. When we send them back, Mexico sent a delegation to Arizona eight years ago to complain about our deporting them. They don't want them back. Jeff Lord is working up... He already has. He has worked up an entire piece on this that is published at the conservative... I'm having a mental block on what the name is. I'll find it. I'm having a mental block on the actual name of the website.

But the point is... I want to reiterate something I said toward the end of the program. It was in the third hour. Folks, we're making a mistake. I know many of you already have concluded this on your own, so it's not earth-shattering here. But we're making a mistake referring to this as immigration, period, whether it's illegal immigration or illegal alien. This is not immigration, what is happening here. I mean, it's happening even now.

The numbers that you see routinely reported are hundreds of thousands of people crossing the border either monthly or yearly. And they're getting in and nobody's stopping them, and nobody's turning them around and nobody is refusing them entry. This is not immigration! Immigration has a system. You apply. You fill out documentation, you go in line, and you are admitted according to procedures in our immigration law.

And once admitted, you have to follow laws in this country and eventually, after time passes, you can be granted permanent status and then take a test and become a citizen. That is immigration. What is happening on our Southern border is not immigration. This is an invasion. And it's not just happening here. It's happening in all parts of Europe, where borders essentially don't even exist. But it's wrong to talk about this as immigration. It's wrong to talk about it in terms of trying to come up with immigration policy.

We already have that.

We have enough immigration law on the books to deal with this if we would just enforce it. We are not enforcing it, as you well know, and that's strategic and political. It's on purpose. This invasion is sponsored. This invasion is desired. Both political parties in Washington have their own interests in this invasion. The Democrats see new voters. The Democrats need to replace what's going on at Planned Parenthood, frankly. Who do you think's being aborted at Planned Parenthood? Their future Democrat voters.

They need to replace them. The Democrat Party also needs a permanent underclass of dependent, uneducated, low-skilled people who are going to have to be dependent on government to live. Ideal Democrat voters. The Republican desire is for the job market, what have you. But regardless, the DC establishment is interested -- for different reasons -- in this invasion continuing.

And I think we are missing the boat by accepting the terms offered by people who are in favor of this. It isn't immigration. Under no definition can we call what is happening on our Southern border immigration, legal or illegal. It is an invasion. It's an invasion of a certain type of person from certain parts of the world for whatever reason. They are fleeing poverty, they are fleeing war, they are fleeing destitution or they are seeking -- in some cases, I'm sure -- a better life.

They all are. But there's no aspect of this that is immigration, and to deal with this under the auspices of so-called immigration law makes it sound like we don't have any immigration law to deal with it. We do! We just are not enforcing it. So the desire to set up new law, come up with new laws and new procedures to deal with this is brilliant and purposeful in convincing people -- or trying to convince people -- that we have no system in place to deal with this, when we do.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Conservative Review is the website I was looking for with Jeff Lord's piece on that AP story from 2008 detailing Mexican legislators going to Arizona, demanding that we not send back those who have illegally invaded the United States. It isn't immigration, folks. There's no... There's no even pretense of immigration about this. I mean, they're still in the "shadows" after how many years, right? There's not even any pretense of this.

Wait, the Fox News says it is only unaccompanied "children" at the border. I don't believe this alarmist hyperbole for one second...

Kind of ironic that Democrats (via abortion) are making themselves demographically irrelevant so they have to turn to illegal immigration to buck up their numbers.

well...technically it’s not an invasion, if that is understand militarily.

it’s more like a plague? lots of individual actors, sort of (but not really) acting in concert? with no real “agenda” other than consuming...

Using the word “immigration” does lend to credibility that it is lawful or right that Rush rejects. Rush is being accurate here.

Trump and only Trump has the only real solution and it would takes years. The fence and armed borders first and must be done within a few months. Then cut off the jobs to illegals. Remove criminals and jail or kicked out of the Country. If any Country would not accept them cut that Country off to the point they would not get one damn dime.

Trump has the answers and if you want an America to survive better think. It has for a great part slipped away now with the communists empire of King Obama. Never again! That must be our motto and never another socialists/communists Democrat.

Agreed. Immigrants are people that went through the immigration process.

This is sort of like the mass infiltration of the Roman Empire by the Goths and other tribes. Much of this was nonviolent. They just took advantage of Rome’s unwillingness or inability to protect the Empire’s borders. Immigration or invasion? Whatever you call it, it’s the same result.

I had a thought. What about a couple that immigrates legally from overseas. They have each a Green card which they received from the Immigration office and are legal residents

After a year or so the wife becomes pregnant and 9 month later gives birth to a baby. Naturally the parents are not yet eligible for citizenship because they haven't been here the required five years in order for citizenship. I don't see any reason that the baby should be denied American citizenship at birth when after all the parents immigrated legally.

Another thing I thought of is : When illegals come here and give birth to their brood they should be treated the same way as Consulate personnel from foreign countries are. If their children are born here in the states, they are citizen from the country the parents are from
