Rush Limbaugh: Ignore the Media Crap, We’re Winning on Immigration

Friday on his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh advised his listens to ignore the media hype because President Donald Trump is tapping into voters concerns about immigration.

Partial transcript as follows (courtesy of RushLimbaugh.com):

LIMBAUGH: Let me run through these immigration numbers again. Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton said in a statement, ‘Following the implementation of the administration’s zero-tolerance policy, the June 2018 Southwest Border Migration numbers declined by 18% when compared to the previous month,’ This is, of course, illegal immigrants attempting to get in the country in the southwest border down 18% because of the zero-tolerance policy.

Reuters has a story. This is from earlier this morning. It’s a poll. It’s a Reuters/Ipsos poll. “Immigration tops the economy and health care as the most important issue determining Americans’ vote ahead of the midterm elections in November, a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll shows. Reuters/Ipsos data shows that immigration became a top concern for registered voters in the United States after the Trump administration in May announced its ‘zero tolerance’ policy on illegal immigrants, saying they would be criminally charged.”

Uh, actually, the zero-tolerance policy was announced April 7th of 2018. Sessions was acting after a Department of Homeland Security report found that illegal border crossing increased 203% from March 2017 to March 2018. And then Reuters says here, “The policy became a political lightning rod in mid-June with disclosures that thousands of children were separated from their parents who were accused of crossing illegally into the country.” Wrong again.

It only became a lightning rod when the media decided to lie about it all and claim that Trump zero-tolerance policy separated children from their parents for months. It does not! It never did! Children were only separated while their parents were booked, and this predates....

The Democrats care about no one. They simply see the Mexicans as as future Democrat voters who will expand their base.

For 20 years Rush was a loyal flunky for the Bush No Borders Republicans. He never brought up the exploding illegal immigration problem, and he refused to take calls on it. He was approached over and over by all the major border control groups, beginning with the Prop 187 fight in the early 1990s. And he probably would never have changed if we hadn’t melted the DC phone lines when his buddy Dubya tried to ram through an amnesty that Obama would have been proud of.

Rush could have improved that statement vastly by shortening it to the first 4 words.

When is Hillary gonna speak out about the abuse being heaped on Donald and his supporters?

Hillary can put a stop to this but her silence is deafening.

She was “gracious in defeat” said her worshippers.......so let’s see some of that graciousness now.

“Hillary, call off your attack dogs. You lost, your opponent is president......that happens in a constitutional republic.”

“Now speak up......tell your attack dogs to cut it out.”
