Rush Limbaugh's question for Jeb Bush: Why are immigrants we want to import better suited to, say, rebuild a city like Detroit than people who live there now or anybody in America?-Rush Limbaugh transcript

"STODDARD (on Fox News): (whispering) The immigration issue is what, um, talk radio is fired up about now"...

2/5/15, "My Question for Governor Bush," Rush Limbaugh transcript

"One of the ideas that Jeb has touted is that since Detroit is failing, just repopulate it with immigrants. Just make it Tijuana North, or Cabo North. Pick a whatever, put the illegal immigrants there, and renew Detroit and bring it up out of the ashes....

First up, this is Jeb yesterday afternoon in Detroit at the Detroit Economic Club.  The moderator is Detroit regional Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Sandy Baruah. He's moderating, talking to Jeb, and he said, "Where does this nation need to go in terms of immigration reform, and what are its prospects for actual success?"

JEB:  Immigration's not our problem. The immigrant experience in our country makes us unique and special and different, and it is part of our extraordinary success.  We need young, dynamic people that can make an immediate contribution to our economy We shouldn't be fearful of this.  We should say, "What an incredible opportunity."  And so I would hope that that mentality of shifting this to an economic issue rather than a political issue will be helpful, and it starts with regaining confidence that the federal government can enforce the border.  They need to secure the border, first and foremost. There's no denying that.

RUSH:  Yeah, but it's not the first thing he said.

So, anyway, you note there's a theme running all of these open-borders guys? Jeb has done it here, too.  "We need young, dynamic people that can make an immediate contribution to our economy." He said, "The immigrant experience in our country make us unique and special and different, and it is part of our extraordinary success.  We need young, dynamic people that can make an immediate contribution to our economy.  We shouldn't be fearful of this.  We should say, 'What an incredible opportunity.'"

What about the young people already here?...

There aren't enough jobs for people here already.  There certainly aren't enough jobs in careers for people who are here already.  What is this fascination? The open borders crowd has it, and I really would like to know: What is the fascination? Why are the immigrants that we want to import better suited to, say, rebuild a city like Detroit than people who live there now or anybody in America?

What's the magic? What am I missing?...

Why is it not offensive that the only way we can rebuild our cities, the only way we can really launch our economy is to import young people from outside the country?  What about the young people already here?  What, is this a tantamount admission that the young people of this country have already thrown in with the worthless and they're unsalvageable?  They already got their benefits?...

So this is a tantamount admission our welfare state's gotten so big, we don't actually have enough people willing to work?  Is that what you're saying? So we need to import people who want to work because we have destroyed the work ethic in our country by giving out so much welfare, so we want to import people who will work?

But what we really want is for them to vote.

What we really want out there, is we want them to also be on the welfare rolls so they will become further and forever dependent on us and government. So that after they vote the first time they will always vote for us!  (That would be the cynical view.)  I mean, the question is: What contribution to our economy do uneducated, unskilled people add?  (interruption)  That's who the illegal immigrants are.  Nobody makes any bones about that. They're undereducated.

They're in poverty, the vast majority of them. That's the reason we're supposed to open the border to 'em!  We're supposed to open the border to 'em because they're undereducated and they're poor, because the places they're leaving are in such bad shape and this is the land of opportunity.  Okay, so I want to know: What contribution to the economy do uneducated and unskilled arrivals add? Meanwhile, only 44% of adults in America have full-time jobs. 

What's the youth unemployment number, up around 12%?  So what is all this?  And, by the way, why do we also want or need a new measles outbreak?  'Cause that's happening, too. (interruption) The youth unemployment rate for December was 12.4%....One more.  Jeb Bush. One final comment here at the Detroit Economic Club, at least in the sound bite roster that we have.

JEB:  How do we create high, sustained economic growth?  And that's to shift away from family reunification being almost the sole driver of legal immigration to narrowing that to what every other country has -- spouse and minor children -- and dramatically expanding immigrants that are coming to work, a guest-worker program to deal in the areas where there are shortages.

RUSH:  Shortages. Okay.

So shortages of certain kinds of "workers" in America, and rather than support illegal immigration because we want to reunite parents with their children? No, that's a losing proposition. No.  We want to bring in "workers." (sigh) I wonder how many that would eliminate if you'd tell 'em, "Before you come here, you have to work."  Anyway, that's Jeb Bush. And then last night on Special Report with Bret Baier, during the All-Star Panel, A.B. Stoddard from TheHill.com was talking about all this.  Bret Baier asked A.B. Stoddard, "Will Jeb Bush's position on immigration, will that fly in Iowa, A.B.?"

STODDARD: (whispering) The immigration issue is what, um, talk radio is fired up about now, and, um, is already bashing him over. It's a long way to Iowa.  He doesn't really know today's Republican Party.  It's not popular with the conservative wing of the party. Very touchy issue for Jeb Bush.

RUSH:  Talk radio. There we are again. See, we have all the power in the world when they think we're standing in the way of what they want.  "Talk radio, damn 'em!  Damn it, talk radio cares about this! Talk radio is standing in the way of what the Drive-By Media wants."  When the Drive-Bys are getting what they want, then, of course, the story is that talk radio is inconsequential, doesn't matter anymore. "They're just a bunch of extremist entertainers anyway.""

Added: It's not a "conspiracy theory" if it's actually happening:

Germany, Britain and other EU state governments "are actively promoting the destruction of their own societies, in the interests of globalisation and the elimination of national identities and cultures."

1/7/15, "The European Civil War: Elites vs People in a Fight for Survival," Gerald Warner, Breitbart London

"Europe is in a state of war: specifically, a civil war between the self-appointed elites who have destroyed much of the continent’s freedom, culture and prosperity and the insurgent populations they have deceived and enslaved. This is a war to the death; only one side can survive the outcome....

The people of Germany, like those of many other European countries, are feeling increasingly desperate about the imposition upon them of mass immigration – an inflow that is unending and which is largely composed of Muslims who are hostile to Christianity and the indigenous culture.

Well, you might think, that is a serious situation; but fortunately Germany is a representative democracy and when citizens make their concerns known to their representatives, the government will surely take steps to help them. Not so. German Chancellor Angela Merkel used her New Year's Eve address to vilify her fellow citizens in the Pegida movement who are protesting against the Islamisation of the West.

According to their chancellor, these people who simply wish to live in a country that is recognisably Germany “have prejudice, coldness, even hatred in their hearts”. Yet the number of asylum seekers in Germany rose to 200,000 in the past year – quadruple the figure for 2012 – and immigration reached a 20-year high. There are similar situations across Europe.

But the governments of Germany, Britain and other EU states are not simply behaving incompetently and allowing their populations to be overrun through their ineptness. On the contrary, they are actively promoting the destruction of their own societies, in the interests of globalisation and the elimination of national identities and cultures.

Merkel has mobilised all the forces at her disposal in an attempt to suppress the incipient rebellion against liberal totalitarianism. All the usual suspects have rallied to the regime: the state broadcaster, Germany’s legacy parties, the financial establishment, the churches…The Catholic Church, whose adherents are the victims of mass murder in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria and every other country where jihadism is running rampant, switched off the lights of Cologne Cathedral to obscure the Pegida marchers who are trying to prevent a further influx of Muslims into Europe.

Turkeys voting for Christmas? Yes, because senior clerics in Germany are concerned only with trousering the massive handouts the government lavishes on registered denominations: rendering unto Caesar is the priority of organised religion in Germany. What Frau Merkel wants, she gets.

Naturally, Rentamob has organised counter-demonstrations, the ones that will be given prominence by the BBC. Violent leftists are trying to prevent the Pegida marches from spreading beyond Dresden to the rest of Germany, where polls show one German in three would like to join them. It is the Marxist and Anarchist thugs’ responsibility to prevent that, at all costs, by intimidation.

The establishment will try to laugh off the notion that such disparate elements as politicians, bankers and far leftists could be engaged in a joint enterprise – a crazed conspiracy theory, surely? Consider, then, the remarks made by Peter Sutherland, the “Father of Globalisation”, Bilderberg organiser and uber-Europhile to a House of Lords committee in 2012.

Migration, the Well-Lunched One declared, was a “crucial dynamic for economic growth” in some EU nations “however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states”. Declining populations in countries like Germany was the “key argument” for “the development of multicultural states”. He condemned Europeans “who still nurse a sense of our homogeneity and difference from others. And that’s precisely what the European Union, in my view, should be doing its best to undermine.”

That is plain speaking. A member of the innermost elite confirms the EU’s role as undermining homogeneity. Europe, formerly the most civilised entity in the world, is to be subsumed into a globalised pool of cheap labour exploited by large corporations and regulated by bureaucrats. All distinctive culture, national identity, the Judaeo-Christian ethic and everything that contributed so greatly to human civilisation are to be expunged in favour of profit for the few and state regulation for the many.

Such soft totalitarianism might seem less frightening than Nazism or Communism, but the end product will be in every way as nightmarish. It must be defeated. Until now, the populations of Britain, Germany and other EU states have behaved like somnambulists, passively accepting the projected New Order.

The one consolation is that some people, though still only a minority, are waking up. The movements expressing their concerns – Pegida, UKIP and others – are Davids facing the Goliath of EU totalitarianism. The forces ranged against them are massive and endowed with all the resources of the state and plutocracy. Yet they are the only hope of saving the nations of Europe from cultural extinction. Their one potential strength is popular support. Will you be with them?"
