The Limbaugh Laws of Immigration
Back on April 6, Rush Limbaugh took hold of the immigration issue that has been heating up and helped put everything into perspective.
Rush introduced "The Limbaugh Laws" of immigration. No doubt, liberals (and even moderates) would be upset by these proposed immigration rules:
- You must speak the native language.
- You have to be a professional or an investor. We are not going to take unskilled workers. You will not be allowed.
- There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, no government business will be conducted in your native language.
- Foreigners will not have the right to vote, I don't care how long they are here, nor will they ever be allowed to hold political office.
- If you're in our country, you cannot be a burden to taxpayers. You are not entitled, ever, to welfare, to food stamps, or other government goodies.
- You can come if you invest here, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage. If you don't have that amount of money, you can't come and invest. You have to stay home.
- If you do come and you want to buy land, okay, but we're going to restrict your options. You will not be allowed to buy waterfront property in the United States. That will be reserved for citizens naturally born in this country.
- In fact, as a foreigner, you must relinquish individual rights to property.
- You don't have the right to protest when you come here. You're allowed no demonstrations, you cannot wave a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies, or you get sent home. You're a foreigner.
- You shut your mouth or you get out, and if you come here illegally, you go straight to jail and we're going to hunt you down 'til we find you.
Does that sound far too tough? Something so "typical" of Rush's views? Think again, because Rush merely stole them — from Mexican immigration laws.
