Limbaugh Just Made A HUGE Statement About Trump And
People Who ‘Love America.’ Many Will Be Furious…
Donald Trump — the Republican candidate who launched and has built his 2016 campaign on the problem of illegal immigration and what to do about it — is getting blasted in the mainstream media after he issued a 1,900-word policy paper on the emotionally-charged, politically tricky subject. Trump’s position is being characterized, essentially, as: round up and deport the illegals and build a big wall on the southern U.S. border.
Media criticism ranges from dismissive to scathing. A New York Times article observes: “So much for Republicans wooing Hispanic voters with a more moderate tone.” An editorial in The Washington Post declares: “Donald Trump’s immigration plan would wreak havoc on U.S. society.” An opinion piece by a member of the USA Today board of contributors — a piece published online by CNN — calls Trump’s plan “clueless,” adding that “his ideas are impractical at best and at worst inhumane.” Writer Paul Reyes argues that Trump’s plan is extreme and veers “far to the right of the American mainstream.”
However, radio talker Rush Limbaugh contends that “The Donald” is right in line with mainstream thinking on illegal immigration. Limbaugh told his millions of listeners on Monday that the liberal media and inside-the-Beltway politicians of both parties just don’t get how upset most Americans are about what’s happening to the country because of unchecked illegal immigration:
Trump’s the only guy standing up against it… I don’t think these people have any idea just how angry, frightened, fearful, a pretty big majority of the people in this country are, that we are losing the country, and we’re losing it because of immigration… And they see both parties in cahoots to make it happen, and they don’t understand it. People that love America do not understand this.
The popular conservative radio host argues that Trump’s appeal and his top position in the polls rests on his firm and unwavering stance on the issue of illegal immigration, which sets him apart from the other sixteen Republicans vying for the party’s nomination.
“Now, the inside-the-Beltway people, when they hear that, they cringe, ‘Oh, my God…oh, God.’ [But the] people are standing up and cheering,” claims Rush. “They don’t want their country given away, for crying out loud!… I’m telling you, that one has people standing up and cheering.”
Limbaugh says the Trump plan on immigration — illegal and legal — will appeal not only to Republican voters upset with the status quo, but also to Democrats and Independents. And as Breitbart News points out, Trump has been working with conservative Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions in crafting the candidate’s detailed immigration plan for America. That’s a political alliance that could add legitimacy and momentum to Trump’s policy platform.
“Sen. Sessions, Chairman of the Senate’s Immigration Subcommittee, is widely regarded as the gold standard on immigration. Sessions has also become the intellectual thought leader in the Republican Party on appealing to the blue collar voters who have been abandoned by their political leaders,” notes Breitbart.
