Immigration is Still the Big Issue, Says Limbaugh


Rush Limbaugh tells listeners that immigration is still among the top political issues this year, despite denials by pro-amnesty commentators. "So here we go, once again the open borders crowd is telling all of us who opposed amnesty that we're racists, this in the form of the Wall Street Journal. Now, let me ask Miss Rosales this question. If immigration is no longer a hot-button issue, why did Congress practically fall all over themselves to shut down any loophole that would have allowed illegals to get a rebate from the stimulus package? The answer is they knew that if illegals got a rebate check in the stimulus package, it would torpedo the whole thing," Limbaugh said.

"Let's take this a little further and let's take Miss Rosales' piece to the presidential campaign. McCain now says he gets it, that we were right, we need border security first and all that. He says if the bill came back before his desk again, though, he would sign it. But he said we're past that point. But he would sign amnesty if it came across his desk as president. So McCain's out there saying he gets it, he understands now how fervently anti-amnesty people are, that we were right on border security and we're going to do border security first. They don't even acknowledge the facts on the ground now. They're obsessed with amnesty and open borders, and they're writers for Big Ag here at the Wall Street Journal. But point of this is that McCain's supporters don't even believe what he's telling voters now. They know he supports amnesty and open borders, and that's why they support him."
