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.

We have been calling it an invasion for years, Rush.

Those who haven't are the deceitful and the deceived.

The Hispanic hoard from the south raping, murdering and pillaging and Barry Obonzo is orchestrating it. Aiding and abetting criminals. I know that’s a crime. Where is the so called DOJ?

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.

If born outside the U.S. it's no, if born in the U.S. yes.

This Supreme Court case covers it.

I work in a prison where there are hundreds of illegals among them. They need translators, have high expectations of the nursing staff to give them whatever they want, have “kings” and gangs and whatever. Sort of scary sometimes.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry. The entire narrative of poor unaccompanied children at the border is untrue. The Lt Governor of Texas said that less than 15% of the immigrants were unaccompanied children. And the definition of “child” was “under 20”

They say we can’t deport them all. I say we’ll never know until we have tried.

Once deportation starts in earnest the foreign invaders will get the message and head south on their own.

Bob Grant called it an invasion back in the 80s. He also said the United States is turning into a 3rd world country.

It is an invasion. Name one other country we ever took in 11 million people from. Not to mention the millions from other countries.

Not all invasions use tanks and helicopter-gunships.

Some whine “We can’t deport 10 million (or 20 million or however many it is)”.

Why not?

Mexico did.

Both our son and daughter were born in the same American Hospital in Germany just 7 years apart (1963 and 1970 when my my husband was stationed in Germany at 2 different posts. We registered our son and daughter at the American Consulate after they were born and each became an American Birth Certificate from the Consulate. I became a Naturalized Citizen on June 12, 1977 in Junction City, Kansas when my husband was stationed at Fort Riley. The ceremony was held on June 14, at the Dwight D Eisenhower center in Abilene, KS

There is no need to deport anyone other than those Illegals caught breaking the law already here.

Enforce the Current Laws. Pass Legislation requiring ALL employers to use E-Verify. If they are found to have violated that law, make it a Felony 5 year prison term. If anyone uses false documents to gain employment make it a Felony, 18 minimum month Prison term followed by immediate deportation.

Eliminate all EITC for anyone not a U.S. Citizen, because after all it is just repackaged welfare to start with. No coverage for anyone under Obamacare unless verified U.S. Citizen. (Enforce the Law) No section 8 Housing without first using E-Verify to check for citizenship. Same Terms and Sentencing for Workforce participation as for violators of Section 8 housing.

They'll be lining up at the border heading south within days...

Israel has the right type of border fence we should adopt

Let the illegals try to sneak in through those border fences

Someone said it here a few weeks ago, “It’s not immigration it’s colonization.”

An invasion by an occupying army that will guarantee a Democrat dictatorship for a long, long, time.

IMHO

"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."

Indeed. In many cases they were merely "doing the jobs that the [spoiled and weary] Romans would no longer do" like serving in the Roman Armies and building infrastructure. I'd bet with a little research we would find they also picked lettuce olives.

This phenomenon is merely the inevitable conclusion of Barbarians At The Gate. The spoiled, lazy and weary citizens of a given timeframe will abdicate their duty of eternal vigilance to some quick, self-serving issue of the day. This philosophy is literally the defining characteristic of the modern Liberal, a suicidal and masochistic collection of cancer cells that inevitably kills its host.

Barbarians at the gate: 1600 years ago today – the day it all went wrong for Rome

We may even have beaten the Romans and Greeks. With the help of (D)emocratic-Socialist neo-Communist Liberals we have managed to time-compress well over a thousand years of Greco-Roman experimentation into less than three centuries, but really into less than one. We have already had our Caligula ( Clinton ) and Nero ( Obama ) and are reveling in homosexual pervertedness on TV and elsewhere around the clock. Now they want to open the gates and dissolve the "empire" once and for all.

To ba a modern "Liberal" means to intentionally ignore all history and to ensure it repeats. Whether it is the fall of Rome America, or to ensure another holocaust even while survivors of the previous one still walk God's green Earth, the enemy within says: "yes we can".
