Why is the border now a crisis according to Dems & Never-Trumpers?

RUSH: I want to play you a couple of … sound bites here. These are meant to be illustrative. I’m not singling out this one person. This is Fran Townsend. She’s a stand-in here for so many now in the Washington establishment who only weeks ago were making fun of the idea, mocking the idea that there was any kind of crisis going on down at the border. “That’s not a crisis.” Mitt Romney is one of these people, “It isn’t a big crisis. There’s nothing to worry about down there.”

And now everybody’s changing their tune. Now everybody’s talking about it’s a crisis on the border. And again, you have to examine, okay, why are these people who up until just a few months ago were lampooning the idea it’s a crisis now claiming it is. What’s the gambit here?

She’s talking about the border. Back on January 9th. Ah, no, being asked about immigration, situation the border, January 9, no, no, no, no, no, that’s not high on my list, no, no, no. Look at the rising crisis of anti-Semitism, domestic terrorism in this country. Domestic terrorism. Foreign policy crisis. Russia. Russia? The threats from China, international.

Now all of a sudden in the last 10 days, and she’s not alone, she’s just illustrative here, she’s not alone. There’s all kinds of people just like this January, February, March, no, no, no, no crisis, Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about, there’s no emergency, come on. Now it’s overwhelmed and out of control. I’m sure you’ve seen other people address this.

Let’s go to the polling data on this. Rasmussen Reports: “For Voters, Illegal Immigration Remains Big Problem, But Not for Democrats.” That’s the headline. By the way, a reminder here, if you watch CNN or MSNBC, read the New York Times or Washington Post, you will not know what’s going on in the real world. Now, this is important to note.

Voters by a wide margin expect borders to be respected and enforced. The Democrats don’t care who is coming across the border. Cartel members, human beings being trafficked, murderers, rapists, purse snatchers, it doesn’t matter to them, as long as they keep coming. That’s collateral damage in the war on American values, and that’s exactly what we are in the midst of, folks.

This open border and all of the other things the Democrat leftist radicals are pushing, promoting, end up, essentially, being a war on American values, a war on the American founding.

Here the details of the polls. “Voters continue to view illegal immigration as a serious problem but don’t think Democrats want to stop it.” You know what the number is? 67%! This is an incredible number. “Voters continue to view illegal immigration as a serious problem but don’t think Democrats want to stop it. Cutting foreign aid is one tool voters are willing to consider.

“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 67% of all Likely U.S. Voters think illegal immigration is a serious problem in America today, with 47% who say it’s a very serious one.”

Now, I mentioned earlier that if you watch CNN and read the New York Times or Washington Post, MSNBC, you will not know what’s going on in the real world. You will not know what’s going on in your country. If all you do is watch CNN, read the New York Times, Washington Post, you’re gonna think that Trump still colluded with Russia, that the Barr summary of the Mueller report is a lie.

This is all you’re going to know. And that Trump is continuing to put children in cages at the border, but you’re not gonna know what’s going on in the real world.

The Democrat Frontrunner, Bernie Sanders, said we can’t have open borders.

Mitt Romney was on Meet the Press yesterday with Chuck Todd. And he was describing this dramatic shift fueling the immigration crisis. Mitt Romney told Chuck Todd there’s been a dramatic change in immigration in just the last few weeks.

Suddenly families and accompanied minors are coming to the U.S. and demanding asylum, and they’re being released to the U.S., and as far as Romney concerned, this just started happening a couple weeks ago.

Romney thinks this just started in the last few weeks. He says to Chuck Todd, “You know, we’ve seen a dramatic shift in the nature of immigration and illegal immigration just over the last few weeks. I mean, a number of years ago and up until just a few weeks ago the great majority of people coming into our country were coming looking for work, single men oftentimes just returned to the border, sent back home typically to Mexico. In the last few weeks there has been a dramatic change, and that’s what we’re seeing, unaccompanied young people as well.”

Where has this guy been?
