{GD}Independent Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 The following is from the Rush Limbaugh show last week. Please read to the end -- that's where the kicker is: All right, immigration proposals under discussion. Let me add mine to the mix. I want to call this proposal the Limbaugh Laws. Here they are. First, if you immigrate to the United States of America, 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. According to the Limbaugh Laws, 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 know 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. These are the Limbaugh Laws. Another thing. 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. I can imagine many of you think that the Limbaugh Laws are pretty harsh. I imagine today some of you probably are going, "Yeah! Yeah!" Well, let me tell you this, folks. Every one of the laws I just mentioned are actual laws of Mexico, today. I just read you Mexican immigration law. That's how the Mexican government handles immigrants to their country. Yet Mexicans and others come here illegally, they protest in our streets, they get on our welfare program, and we have members of the United States Senate, both parties, doing handstands and back flips, going through every contortion possible to allow it to continue so that it doesn't make these people mad, resulting in votes against these linguini-spined politicians.

[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Is the 'linguini-spined' a reference to all the poor Italian immigrants that came to the US? If so, he could've made the analogy a bit clearer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hmmm.... As I haven't been to Mexico I can't comment on that law (though in researching a reply alot of foreigners own house in Mexico as second homes etc) I know this. I came to the USA with virtually nothing, completed college here and am now work in a Professional career. I was fortunate to have known americans who lived here who were able to "sponsor" me to help me get established. I guess what gets to me is about 100 or so years ago alot of your grandparents were immigrants from Europe or other countries. Major is 3rd generation Italian as his grandparents came from over there to america in search of opportunity. It is the descendants of these immigrants who are now crying foul over this situation. Is the way people cross the border from Mexico the right way? no of course it isn't. I know in the eastern side of Washington state here Mexican labour picks the apples and other farm crops, they plant tress for the large lumber companies etc. How many others would want to work these jobs? They also due to their situation sometimes get paid below the minimum wage standards. They work anyway cause who are they going to tell? So do you kick all these people back home (most send money back to their families who would otherwise do without basics) If you answered yes then who is going to work on the farms picking the crops for the small wages they were accepting. Most americans would not want to do such a task. So the question is what to do in the long term? Only way to secure from the illegal border crossings is to secure the borders. It amazed me when I realized for such a large country the US borders are some of the most open ones in the world. Most who arrived here illegally were led here by smugglers (who charged them a large amount of money etc) the borders need to be secure to keep them from succeeding in their trade of "selling" passage to people who only want the opportunity to better themselves and their families. So does the US government go on hunts to round everyone up and let the INS sort them out? Or do you give those who have stayed out of trouble and are only working to feed their families etc a chance to become legit workers here? I think the person who has been productive in the US society, held a job and has not gotten in trouble for crimes should be given the opportunity to go through the citizenship process. I don't believe it should be just handed to them as I had to take the citizenship classes etc as do lots of others who come to the USA, the land of Opportunity.

How can the Mexican government have such harsh laws, but Mexicans get all up in arms when we want to enforce our relatively cushy ones? My greatest concern is not the illegal Mexicans. Yeah, now that they've stormed the streets waving MEXICAN flags instead of US flags, they're on my doo doo list, but they were not my problem to start out with. What keeps me up nights is the ridiculous border situation. What good is all the airport security we have when any Achmed, Rahib, or Muhammed can just walk his dirty bomb over the border? We are going to get hit again, and HARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, these 'Limbaugh Laws' seem more like an exaggeration of certain people's views than an actual serious proposal. From the way it was set up it looked he was making a comparison between the attitudes towards the Mexicans now and the Italians then. But doing it with one single word seemed a bit strange.

One of the debates though now is what to do with those here already. One of the proposals is to grant them immunity from prosecution and allow them to take a legal route to remain.

Do you remember who hopped into who's country?...and whats the national language of this country?.... *sigh* The illegal imigration part is wrong that is not in dispute. However from what I understand you came to the US from another country yourself correct? What I'm gathering from your post Factor is I am only supposed to speak in English? I know 3 languages. Am I not allowed to speak the language of the people I am socializing with? Only way to stop the illegal immigration is to seal up the borders. Recently SEATTLE – Immigrations officials are hoping the public will help them learn more about a smuggling scheme that brought 22 Chinese nationals to Seattle in a shipping container this month. They told investigators that they paid about $10,000 each for passage. But if price is a sign of supply and demand there's been a big change. "Frankly, that's a low price compared to what we've historically seen in these cases. Typically Chinese nationals smuggled from the mainland can expect to pay anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000 dollars for passage to this country," said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice So until you stop those profitting from the smuggling and making these people promises of a better life. . Are you aware the bulk of the Chinese population lives like their ancestors did almost 100 years ago. The rich are not the majority over there and most of the people are oppressed under the present government. So there are people over there who exploit that and sell "passage" to the US via smuggling. Are those taken in by that totally at fault or are they victims of those who sell the trip to them? This is a complex issue obviously. As I said one of the proposals is to grant those here already immunity to be able to pursue citizenship. However most of the rest of the world learn english and other languages. Yet there is a dominate attitude of "speak english" or get out that is ringing in your words. You are not the first one to say that as seems alot of people have that attitude.

If all of us who moderate were fluent in multiple languages, then more than just english would be permitted, but I'm not so that's how it is. My forum, my job to moderate it, my rule that everything has to be in a language I can read. Immigration. It's what the USA is based on, what makes us unique and keeps us strong. The term 'melting pot' has been applied to the US since the beginning. I would hope no one here is saying people should not be permitted to move to our country and be a part of it. Illegal immigration, on the other hand, holds no respect for our country at all. Those who don't make the effort to become a citizen DO NOT deserve any of our benefits and have no rights whatsoever. They have broken a law. I feel for the person who went through hardship and came here to improve their quality of life, but a sob story does not excuse them from trying to become a legal citizen. It is ridiculous how these lawbreakers are demanding, actually demanding, the rights that our people tend to take for granted. If they want to be able to vote, to have a say in how things are run, to have access to free healthcare and and multiple other benefits... then become an American citizen and stop waving your Mexican flag in our faces. This is the USA, you're welcome here, we want you, but only if you're going to respect us and become part of us. Keep your heritage while the red, white and blue are flying from the top of the pole. You hit the nail right on the head, Lodingi. Leave it to the politicians to turn a sticky situation into a total disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 my family was fluent in that language so yes. i think its only proper respect to that country. at least know enough of the language to carry on a pretty good conversation. my dad was raised hispanic, so he was speaking spanish his whole life, and my mom, took 3 different languages in high school (4 years of all 3) and took them in college too, spanish being one of them, so she spoke it very well too... me being 6 months old moving there, i didnt even talk yet. my parents taught me english though, even though we were in costa rica. they said i would learn spanish when i started going to school there, but i needed to know english better, and it was harder to pick up on. well i never ended up going to school in costa rica, so the only spanish i knew, was the stuff i'd here my family and family friends say.... i was 4, maybe 5 when i moved back here, speaking english perfectly, but i did have a little bit of a hispanic accent to it so yah, i think its only respect to speak the language of the nation you are illegally entering.

RXS Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (From editorial column) Dear Mr. President, I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, And I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family . 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. 3. All government forms need to be printed in English. 4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. 5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. 6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down. 7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. 8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. 9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. 11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. 12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws. 13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request b ecause you already do all these things for all t he people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. Sincerely, a fellow American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
