Ramos and Castro Solve the Immigration Crisis: Just Let Everybody In
Apr 3, 2019
RUSH: Here’s Jorge Ramos, Univision. He said yesterday he believes the solution to the migrant crisis is just to legalize everybody, just erase the border and let ’em come on in. Grab audio sound bite number six. Anderson Cooper last night. Cooper said, “Some of the president’s supporters say if the aid programs to those countries are so successful and they’ve been going on awhile, how come there’s this surge of people trying to come across the border?†Meaning, if we’ve given so much foreign aid to these countries and they’re doing so great, why are so many people in these countries seemingly leaving and wanting to come to the U.S.?
RAMOS: The truth is that, Anderson, nobody can stop that. I mean, nobody really can stop that. Just a few months ago, I went to the border between Guatemala and Mexico. There’s the Suchiate River. You just pay $1 to cross from Guatemala to Mexico. And then we have to also understand that the borders between Central American countries and between Guatemala and Mexico are basically open. You can cross and no one is going to stop you. And Central American countries and Mexico, they are not the immigration police of Donald Trump. So if these immigrants want to come to the United States, it is very difficult to stop them. They’re going to keep on coming, and there’s really nothing we can do to stop that.
RUSH: See? See? It’s over. We can’t stop ’em. There’s no reason to even try. Jorge Ramos, great American, Univision. He went further. He said the U.S. economy has been absorbing them and it seems that we have to realize the only way to deal with this is in a legal way, and just to understand legally they are going to keep coming. There’s nothing we can do to stop ’em.
So his solution is just proclaim all of this legal, just ignore the law, ignore the border, and then we won’t have a problem. We only have a problem because we drew lines for a border. And we only have a problem because we’ve got a law that says people can’t legally cross that line. Well, if we get rid of the line and if we get rid of the law saying they can’t come, then poof! No problem! And that’s his solution. Ramos said, “The truth is, Anderson, nobody can stop them.â€
Then we have, adding to this, Julian Castro of the San Antonio Castro political mob. Mother is Rosie Castro. She was one of the most partisan left-wing special interest operators ever. She’s had these two kids, and one of them is Julian Castro, presidential possibility here. And he unveiled an immigration program laying an early marker in the 2020 presidential contest.
And I have the story, it’s at TexasTribune.org and it says — San Antonio mayor — his plan appears to be the most detailed yet in the Democrat presidential field, and it’s basically let everybody in. Let’s grant amnesty to everybody here and stop trying to keep ’em out, and if you stop trying to keep ’em out, he says, it’s less likely a whole bunch of people are gonna want to come. He’s telling people what they can’t have that’s making them come, see.
So you gotta make it look like it isn’t any big deal and then you’ll really reduce the number of people. His proposal is highlighted by a call to decriminalize illegal border crossings. So here we go. The second prominent left-wing activist saying the solution to the problem is forget the law and then to decriminalize people who break the law!
Well, man, that would be easy. It is so hard to enforce the law. It’s so hard. It really hurts people’s feelings when they break the law and you have to enforce it against them. It’s really unfair because not everybody breaks the law and the people that break the law we have to be so hard on them, no compassion in that. We just need to get rid of the laws and then we wouldn’t have any enforcement problem. Then we could get rid of ICE and then maybe someday we could get rid of passports. Nobody would ever have to have a passport. Oh, it would be so wonderful!
So he’s calling to decriminalize illegal border crossings which he would do by repealing a provision of U.S. law that makes it a criminal instead of civil offence to unlawfully enter the country. The provision is Section 1325 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It’s been a key factor in the Trump administration’s zero tolerance approach that led to family separation and blah, blah, blah, blah.
“The truth is,†Castro wrote, “immigrants seeking refuge in our country aren’t a threat to national security. Migration shouldn’t be a criminal justice issue. It’s time to end this draconian policy and return to treating immigration as a civil — not a criminal – issue.â€
Now, this pitch “stood out to some advocates who said it signaled a new direction for the immigration debate. ‘I’ve been working on immigration for many years, and this is a very different conversation than we were having in 2016,’ said Zenén Jaimes Pérez, a spokesman for the Texas Civil Rights Project, a legal advocacy group. ‘I think for many years, we’ve taken it as something to prosecute and something to criminalize, and that has had a disastrous effect.’†I think this Castro guy’s on something. Let’s just take the law out of this.
Okay. So you take the law out of it, you reduce this from a criminal issue to civil and then that’ll vanish before long. And then the next thing to go will be the border. ‘Cause if there’s no line to cross, then there’s no illegal side of it, and if there’s no illegal side of it, there’s no law necessary. Bingo! And the Democrats have perpetual majority Democrat registration.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We will go to Waldorf, Maryland. Robert, glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh, and I hope you’re hitting ’em well. You know, we hired Trump to take care of this problem at the southern border. I mean, that’s his number one, I would say, priority that we, the people-hired him for. We know that Congress isn’t gonna do anything to help him, but he does have the power to do something with this issue. I mean, Mexico has basically invaded the southwest of this country and taken it back from the earlier war we had, you know, with Davey Crockett back in San Antonio.
But he has to do something with this. If he doesn’t do anything with this, this is on him. Mrs. Nielsen is incompetent is needs to be fired. But bottom line, Trump knows what he’s dealing with now. Mexico is complicit in an invasion of our southern border, which to me is an act of war. And the president of the United States needs act accordingly and shut down that border and put the military there and stop this invasion.
RUSH: Last week the president announced that he was thinking about shutting the border, and immediately the Washington establishment, “You can’t do that! Economic, oh, God we’d lose a million and a half dollars, oh, my God. You can’t.†So Trump is walking it back now about closing the border. People are saying, “Well, look. Okay, you can’t shut the border, but can’t you stop immigration? You can let people go back and forth, conduct business, but can’t you stop illegal immigration?â€
What do you think we’ve been ostensibly trying to do for 25 years? We right now, it’s patently obvious, you got Jorge Ramos and this mayor down in San Antonio saying it’s gotten so bad – and this is the way they always do it! They flood the zone and they make it look like the law is incapable of working so get rid of the law. Moynihan called it, as you know, defining deviancy down.
Apparently we don’t have the personnel on the border to catch ’em. We don’t have the personnel to stop them, and if we catch ’em, we don’t have the places to detain them. So we catch ’em and release ’em. And then if they apply for asylum, which they all are doing, that’s a whole ‘nother matter that requires essentially catch-and-release, ’cause we don’t have any detention centers.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Here’s what Trump is up against, folks. I’m just gonna remind you again. There isn’t anybody in Washington that wants to stop illegal immigration. Not enough to matter. Washington wants illegal immigration. We’ve always known it.
