That was a great call.
Rush is right. Becoming a LEGAL American has been water down, to the point that even the language is disingenuous. Undocumented immigrant is now used instead of illegal alien.

Bookmarked.
When this call happened I had just gotten a cup of coffee as it started and it really caught my attention, midway I was thinking this is pretty good by the end I thought that might have been the best Rush Limbaugh that I had ever heard.
The left’s hatred is their contrived motivation - they need to bring down capitalism so they can install their utopia.
But they’ve got the cart before the horse. They want you to work away in order to provide all these gov’t bennies (which just so happen to translate to power & goodies for those who dole them out).
But It’s only BECAUSE we have freedom to create wealth that we are able to be charitable.
My loving God. That was awesome. Bookmark.

Honestly?
Citizenship shouldn’t be easy for children born of American Citizens either. They should have to go through the same process an immigrant goes through for naturalization. Until they pass the citizenship test, they should be just a ‘resident’ with no rights to vote or hold office.
Citizenship should be earned.
Was the girl asking about people IMMIGRATING or people who have already IMMIGRATED becoming American citizens ???
When I IMMIGRATED I had already accomplished most of the requirements for American citizenship...
All that was needed when I arrived was time in the country and adherence to the things I had sworn to do or not to do...
No crimes of any kind, no applying for government support, etc
Every January present myself to register my current home address with my local Post Office Postmaster (or INS office if there was one..and register within 30 days if I moved during the year...the form I signed was sent to my current home address on Jan 1...(whatever happened to this requirement ???)
When the time period was up, I applied for citizenship, went for an interview, took an oral civics test, renounced my previous loyalty to my country of birth because theres no such thing in America as ‘dual citizenship’, waited 30 days and attended the citizenship ceremony...at which I cried...
IMMIGRATION is an application to become an American citizen...
If a person is not eligible to become and American citizen then they are not getting into the country through IMMIGRATION...
I’m white and from a British Commonwealth country, an ally of America for more than 100 years at the time I IMMIGRATED...the 2 countries have never had a war, never a falling out...the young men fought and died side by side in WWI, WWII, and Vietnam...
I had to prove I could be gainfully employed, that I was healthy that I had shots, that I had no criminal record, that I wasn’t an anarchist...
If it was hard for me to IMMIGRATE, why is it so easy for people who would be enemies of this country and cause mayhem to come here ???
If you understand that in applying to IMMIGRATE the foreigner is also applying to be an American citizen, then you might have a better insight on why its hard for people to IMMIGRATE... (and it should be so)
To place most of the requirements AFTER the person has already arrived in our country would be suicide...just let people in without proper vetting ??? (Oh that’s what we already do at our southern border...but that’s not IMMIGRATION)
No the vetting is part and parcel of the IMMIGRATION process, accomplished back in the persons own country BEFORE they ever leave home...
IMMIGRATION and citizenship are much the same thing...
If the person is eligible to IMMIGRATE, they are also eligible to become an American citizen...
The day I arrived in America I was on my way to become an American citizen...
How else could we have a two names one party the last thing they want is to fix the problems just think of all the lobbyist money they would lose.
America is so valuable to the world,
America is so important,
PRESERVING THE CULTURE THAT LED TO THIS EXCEPTIONALISM
IS WORTH PRESERVING,
and IT OUGHT TO BE HARD .
IT OUGHT TO TAKE SOME EFFORT TO BECOME an American.
If you have grown up and youve NOT been educated, you WANT to come here, YOU WANT TO BECOME a citizen,
YOU NEED TO LEARN WHAT IT TAKES .
You have to remember Rush is globalist and his true colors slip out from time to time.
She married my brother, but that alone did not make her a citizen. She still had to apply and obey all the rules, even was threatened deportation, accused my brother, 6th generation American and her, of faking their children at a immigration hearing. Laughable since they are 6' looking Asians now!
