15 Of Limbaugh’s Most Offensive And Controversial Comments Targeting

Immigrants

Rush Limbaugh, widely condemned and losing advertisers after misogynistic attacks on a college student, has a history of making offensive and controversial comments, spanning the length of his broadcasting career. This vitriol hasn’t been reserved only for women: he has attacked low-income Americans, racial and ethnic minorities, unions and union members, and the LGBT community.

Another community Limbaugh has repeatedly mocked, denigrated, and insulted are Latinos and immigrants in the United States, whom he has derided as an “invasive species.”

Here’s a rundown of some of Rush Limbaugh’s worst comments directed at immigrants and Latinos, and laying out his views of comprehensive immigration reform.

On August 15, 2011, Limbaugh said:

[S]ome people would say we’re already under attack by aliens — not space aliens, but illegal aliens.

On April 1, 2005, Limbaugh described undocumented immigrants as an “invasive species,” saying:

LIMBAUGH: So invasive species like mollusks and spermatozoa are not good, and we’ve got a federal judge say, “You can’t bring it in here,” but invasive species in the form of illegal immigration is fine and dandy — bring ’em on, as many as possible, legalize them wherever we can, wherever they go, no matter what they clog up. So we’re going to break the bank; we’re going to bend over backwards. The federal judiciary is going to do everything it can to stop spermatozoa and mollusks from coming in, but other invasive species? We’re supposed to bend over and grab the ankles and say, “Deal with it.”

On January 31, 2011, Limbaugh asked:

[H]as the CDC ever published a story about the dangers of catching diseases when you sleep with illegal aliens?

On July 1, 2010, Limbaugh said of Obama:

He always wants to expand every one’s rights: illegal aliens, terrorists, Russian spies, except American citizens.

On March 28, 2006, Limbaugh said of Mexican immigrants:

[L]ook at it from Vicente Fox‘s point of view. I mean if — if you had a renegade, potential criminal element that was poor and unwilling to work, and you had a chance to get rid of 500,000 every year, would you do it?

On April 13, 2009, Limbaugh speculated that Somali pirates were “immigrants” with “an entitlement mentality”:

I could have sworn that they were originally Americans who maybe fled. Maybe they were illegal immigrants or something who got here, come here with an entitlement mentality, didn’t like it, fled the scene because Republicans drove them out of the country in the last election, so they went over to Somalia and started pirating things. Because they have the attitude of entitlement just like a lot of American citizens do.

On May 5, 2010, Limbaugh discussed a protest against the controversial Arizona immigration law by the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and said:

LIMBAUGH: So you have the ownership of the Phoenix Suns, the Los Suns, and whoever — “We don’t want to offend the portion of our fan base. We want to appear to be politically correct. We want to appear to be all-inclusive” and so forth. Well, fine and dandy, but what happens when that contributes to the overall deterioration of the culture of this society?

On April 26, 2010, defending the controversial Arizona immigration law, Limbaugh asked:

Isn’t protecting our legal citizens from an invading army of illegal aliens who are using our services and taking our jobs, isn’t that a basic notion of fairness? Isn’t that in the Constitution? Where is the fairness to American citizens here?

On April 28, 2010, Limbaugh continued his defense of Arizona‘s immigration law, saying:

LIMBAUGH: Once the law, properly enacted, is routinely ignored, and ignored with the blessing and the promotion of the political class, then you have a breakdown of organized society. And there is nothing compassionate about what’s happening to the people of Arizona. There is nothing compassionate about the violation of private property rights. There is nothing compassionate about the abuse of the taxpayer. There is nothing compassionate about the closing of schools and hospitals. Nothing at all compassionate about increased drug trafficking and crime. Nothing compassionate about that at all.

In fact, not only is that not compassion, we are at the forefront of a dissolution of a nation.

On August 23, 2006, Limbaugh discussed the competition in a season of CBS’ Survivor, in which contestants were reportedly divided into competing “tribes” by ethnicity, and said of the “Hispanic tribe”:

[T]hese people have shown a remarkable ability, ladies and gentlemen, to cross borders, boundaries — they get anywhere they want to go. They can do it without water for a long time. They don’t get apprehended, and they will do things other people won’t do. So, our money, early money, is on the Hispanics.

On October 3, 2011, discussing the differences between a “good” school and a “poor” one as depicted in the novel, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Limbaugh said of immigrant children in the public school system:

[T]his is another reason why the children of illegals are sought for public schools: They’ll put up with it. The children of illegals will put up with these dilapidated schools because for them, it is a huge step up. And these schools become little indoctrination centers for the children of illegal immigrants, as they are brainwashed and programmed to become Democrats as adults.

On July 1, 2010, Limbaugh discussed U.S. immigration policy and said:

We are specifically keeping the best and brightest out. It is the dumb and dumbest that we are letting in. Let me rephrase that: It is the ill-educated and the uneducated that we are letting in. The VCs, college graduates, PhDs, you name it, from all over the world, they are limited. The number of people of that caliber — severely limited and tightly controlled.

On September 29, 2011, Limbaugh said of immigrants:

The Democrats need poor, dependent people if they’re gonna stay in business. And if we don’t have enough poverty at home, we’ll import it. That’s what our open-borders policy is: It’s about importing poverty and importing the number of potential registered voters for the Democrat party.

On November 15, 2011, Limbaugh defended Newt Gingrich for describing Spanish as “the language of living in a ghetto” and suggested that Spanish is an “obstacle … put in the way of prosperity and people achieving it”:

LIMBAUGH: In my mind, there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t instinctively know what’s wrong with it. There is a language of the ghetto. There is a language of the barrio. And it’s not good. There is an attitude. There is a behavior. There is a mindset and we wouldn’t anybody to be stuck in it.

[…]

LIMBAUGH: “Mr. Limbaugh, it’s not that he said ‘the language of prosperity’; it’s that he followed it up by saying ‘the language of the barrio.’ ” Well, that makes total sense to us. I know what he means by that — and it’s not the language of prosperity. We don’t think that in America, people should be shut off from the American dream. We don’t think that people ought to be shut off from the opportunity of prosperity and we think that there are some obstacles that have been put in the way of prosperity and people achieving it. Newt’s simply saying get those out of the way. And for this he’s got to apologize?

On April 26, 2010, Limbaugh said:

LIMBAUGH: You’ve got Hezbollah in Arizona. You’ve got Mexican drug cartels operating in Arizona. You’ve got the steady stream of illegals over the border, and you’ve got people being killed now in Arizona. They are at their wits’ end. Enforcing the law is the overall thing, and if there are some civil rights violations, so be it. That’s how desperate the situation is. They want the law anyway.

See, not everybody thinks that civil rights are the end-all and be-all of every single issue. But the folks in Washington just cannot imagine that. “Civil rights violations? Oh my gosh. The worst thing we could possibly do is have civil rights violations” — because it’s code words. It’s simple code words.

IS ALABAMA “LIGHTENING UP” ON HISPANICS?

THE HISPANIC BLOG BY JESSICA MARIE GUTIERREZ

20120228-170254.jpg

On March 1, the ACLU will be in court challenging the constitutionality of both Alabama and Georgia’s discriminatory anti-immigrant laws. Of the five Arizona-inspired laws to pass, only Alabama’s has had significant provisions go into effect. The result: divided communities and devastation to the State’s economy and reputation.

Five months have now passed since those parts of Alabama’s law, H.B. 56, went into effect, and Alabama’s immigrant and Latino communities remain in a state of terror. Although tens of thousands fled Alabama in those first few days and weeks, others have committed to staying in their communities, hoping the legal challenges and basic human decency would prevail. People have held out hoping they would not have to uproot their families and leave their homes, notwithstanding the clear message that they were no longer welcome, at least by those in charge of the State government.Creator of The Hispanic Blog

20120228-171850.jpg

Several realities are missed or ignored by those in favor of coercive policies like H.B. 56, that are meant to force immigrants to “self-deport.” One is the incredible resourcefulness of the community they have targeted. People don’t leave their home countries and travel thousands of miles to escape violence, repression, and grinding poverty without a willingness to endure hardship and to overcome obstacles that would persuade those of less resolute spirit to turn back. Having put down roots in Alabama and made contributions to their local communities, many immigrants are therefore willing to take a wait-and-see approach, and tolerate — at least for a while — outrages that are far out of place in 21st-century America.

Alabama is fertile ground for outrage for anyone with a conscience. Although arrests and detentions of foreign auto executives make headlines, the everyday lived experience of H.B. 56 involves far more commonplace affronts to human dignity. Indignities like being denied water service for six weeks, even while your 9-year-old U.S.-citizen child falls ill for lack of running water in the home; or being told that without a valid Social Security number, you can’t have electricity at your home, receive emergency dental care, take classes at the local community college, or renew your lease — even though you are willing and able to pay just like the next person. Other frequent affronts to human dignity include being told that even though your family qualifies for federal food stamps or emergency medical care, you can’t have those services because the state has decided otherwise; or being warned that if you offer a neighbor a hand by providing a meal or a ride, you could be prosecuted for the new state crime of harboring; or being arrested by local police, not for any crime, but because the officer wants to check your immigration status — and besides, you were standing on the sidewalk for too long anyway.

Not all of these consequences are actually mandated by H.B. 56, but such things happen when you enact a broadly worded law that, in the words of Rep. Micky Hammon, one of its sponsors, “attacks every aspect” of the lives of an entire community, in the hopes that “they will deport themselves.” It signals and gives license to those who think they either can or are now required to discriminate (and it doesn’t help when Rep. Hammon openly uses “Hispanic” and “illegal immigrant” interchangeably).
And so those who look or sound “foreign,” even though they are U.S. citizens, are collateral casualties, looked upon with suspicion and harassed — asked if they have “papers” — when they buy groceries, go to school or a restaurant, or attempt to return a blouse to the local department store.br />

Some recent reports have noted that amongst the thousands who fled Alabama last fall, some have returned. And it’s true: there has been a slight rebound in some places. Some have decided that even though life is far more difficult in Alabama than other places, it’s still their home. And so they will have faith that the State will come to its collective senses and remedy what has become a colossal self-inflicted injury; we’ve seen some state lawmakers calling for repeal, while others are considering measures that would try and mitigate the law’s widespread harms. Many families are counting on the courts and the compassion of their neighbors (immigrant, Latino, or otherwise) so that they can carry on with the lives they have built in Alabama. In short, despite all evidence to the contrary, some immigrants in Alabama continue to have faith in the American values they have come to respect and love as their own. I just hope their faith is not misplaced.

DO HISPANICS HAVE ANY POLITICAL POWER IN ARIZONA?

THE HISPANIC BLOG BY JESSICA MARIE GUTIERREZ

20120228-164416.jpg

Mr. Manuel Ramírez Chávez was born in Michoacán, Mexico, but arrived in the United States when he was eight years old. Fifty-six years later, at the age of 64, he’s finally becoming a citizen. He didn’t do it earlier, he said, “because I’d never seen as much discrimination as (I see) now, so much racism, so much persecution against Hispanics.”

He wants to vote “to make changes here in the state of Arizona.” “If we don’t vote, nothing will change,” Manuel told me at a citizenship drive organized by Mi Familia Vota this past Saturday in Guadalupe, Arizona.

Meanwhile, in Phoenix, the ONE Arizona coalition, made up of eleven nonpartisan organizations dedicated to voter registration, education and mobilization, was training young Latino citizens who aspire to hold public office. The attendees are motivated in large part by the anti-immigrant and generally anti-Hispanic atmosphere seen in Arizona in the wake of the state law SB 1070, attacks on ethnic studies, and the abuses of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Norma Alicia Meléndez Arámbula, born in San Francisco, came to Phoenix when she was eight. Now 22, she hopes to become an immigration lawyer, and eventually climb the ladder of public office — with an eye toward an eventual seat in the U.S. Senate.

One of her strongest motivators has been the anti-immigrant climate in Arizona and other parts of the country.
“I’m motivated because many of my relatives are undocumented, many of my friends. I see how they live with the fear of not being able to leave the house, how some people take advantage of their fear. I want to show them that I can represent them, in one way or another, that even though they don’t have papers, there’s a way to resolve things without them having to skulk around like criminals,” Meléndez said.

The New America Leaders Project was founded to be a workshop in leadership for these young people. The project’s founding director, Sayu Bhojwani, told me that there’s a need not just to have immigrants in public office, but immigrants “who reflect the needs and interests of our communities” and who come from the same communities they hope to represent. Since 2010, she said, immigrants are not viewed just as voters who should be mobilized to vote for others, “but as direct participants with a seat at the decision-making table.”

As the Republican primary campaign continues and the candidates continue their march to the far right on immigration, here in Arizona numerous organizations are focusing their efforts on making sure that eligible Hispanics become citizens; that those who are already citizens sign up to vote; and that, in general, Hispanics get involved in the political process at all levels, including as candidates.

20120228-164819.jpg
Take, for example, the Mi Familia Vota citizenship drive held last Saturday in the town of Guadalupe. (Guadalupe is located between Tempe and Phoenix, and is one of the towns under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Joe Arpaio.)
Abigail Duarte, state coordinator for Mi Familia Vota, explained that since 2010, amidst the clamor over SB 1070, she’s certainly seen interest in naturalization spike. Mi Familia Vota has had to conduct more citizenship drives than they’d originally scheduled.

“There’s always been a lot of interest in these events, but we’ve definitely seen that this year it’s gone up, since January, and people have started to call us more often.”

The anti-immigrant climate has been a factor. “Many people disagree with what they’re seeing, they feel personally attacked, and they want to make it clear that they’re part of this country, and they’re taking the final step of becoming citizens and voting,” Duarte added.

Osvaldo Ulises Sierra was naturalized last January 27th, and said that his decision had “a lot to do with anti-immigrant politics, because as a citizen you can demand more of your representatives in government, and it gives more security to you and your family.”

He said he won’t be able to vote for any Republican in November because the current frontrunner for the presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, “says one thing one day and another the next.” While President Barack Obama hasn’t kept his promise to promote immigration reform, he’s planning to vote for him “because at least there was a promise, and you hope that he can come around to keeping it. On the other (Republican) side, there’s nothing.”

20120228-164618.jpg

Since 2010, in the wake of SB 1070’s passage, ONE Arizona (whose members include Mi Familia Vota, Voto Latino, NALEO, and Promise Arizona) has led efforts to ensure that as many Latinos who are eligible to vote as possible get registered-and that once registered, they turn out to vote, especially “low-propensity” sectors of the Latino voter pool. They succeeded in mobilizing these “low-propensity” Latino voters in the midterm elections in 2010 and in Phoenix’s municipal elections in 2011, which resulted in the election of a Democratic mayor and a second Hispanic, Daniel Valenzuela, on the city council.

“And we’ll keep it up this year. It’s a sustainable process. Phoenix has been a microcosm of what we can achieve and we hope to expand it (to the rest of the state),” said Leticia de la Vara, director of ONE Arizona.

Manuel, for his part, said that all around Arizona people are talking about the need to vote. “They’ve heard the attacks that (Republicans) are making against Hispanics, about putting an electric fence (on the border) and that Romney wants to let the police round everybody up and kick them out.”

He said of Obama that even though he hasn’t kept his promise of reform, “we have to give him another chance because the others (the Republicans) are just attacking us too much.”

HOW MUCH IMPACT DO THE SWING STATES HAVE ON THE NEXT ELECTION: WILL THIS AFFECT MITT ROMNEY?

THE HISPANIC BLOG BY JESSICA MARIE GUTIERREZ

20120227-213114.jpg Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigns at The Hispanic Leadership Network’s Lunch at Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, Fla., Friday, Jan. 27, 2012. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

If there was still any doubt about Mitt Romney’s position on immigration, it was erased last Thursday during the CNN Republican presidential debate in Mesa, Arizona.

The former Michigan governor referred to Arizona’s controversial HB1070 law as “a model” for the nation. The initiative approved in 2010 that cracks down on illegal immigration has been denounced by Hispanic and immigration rights groups as extreme.

Romney also said that “the right course for America is to drop these lawsuits against Arizona … I’ll also complete the (border) fence. I’ll make sure we have enough border patrol agents to secure the fence and I’ll make sure we have an (employment eligibility federal database) E-Verify system and require employers to check the documents of workers.”

Hispanic voters won’t decide Tuesday’s primaries in Arizona and Michigan, because few are registered as Republicans in those states; but it will be an entirely different story during the November presidential elections.

Arizona’s Hispanic voters could give the candidate of either party enough of a margin to win the state in November. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Arizona has 766,000 eligible Hispanic voters, close to 20% of all eligible voters in the Grand Canyon state.

Making statements that can be perceived as anti-immigrant is risky, according to Jennifer Sevilla-Korn, the executive director of the Hispanic Leadership Network, a center-right advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.

Photo more campaign material from the Romney campaign http://www.newstaco.com/2012/01/05/romney-uses-anti-immigrant-mailers-to-campaign-in-south-carolina/

“Tone and rhetoric absolutely matter, because the use of language that can be perceived as inflammatory turns the Hispanic community off even if they agree with the candidate on other issues like how to deal with the economy and fiscal responsibility,” Sevilla-Korn said.

Mark Lopez, associate director at the Pew Hispanic Center, said, “Latinos have played a growing and important role in the nation’s presidential elections over the last few election cycles. There are now more than 21 million Hispanics who are eligible to vote, and Latinos reside in some key states.”

According to the U.S. Census, in the 2008 presidential election, Latinos represented 13% of all voters in Colorado, 14% in Nevada, 15% in Florida, and 38% in New Mexico. Those four states will likely be swing states again in 2012. “Even the participation rate among Hispanics in presidential elections has been growing” in those states, says Lopez.

In 2004, former President George W. Bush won more than 40% of the Latino vote. Four years later, 67% of Hispanic voters went for Barack Obama. Experts say anybody getting that kind of support from Latinos next year, whether Democrat or Republican, has a good chance of winning the presidency.

Florida-based political analyst Charles Garcia says he’s confident Latino voters will decide the U.S. presidential election in 2012. He points to states like North Carolina, where the number of registered Hispanic voters has almost doubled to more than 130,000 since the last presidential election.

“President Obama won North Carolina in 2008 by 14,000 votes,” Garcia said. “In 2008 there were 68,000 registered Latino voters and a whopping 84% of them participated in the election.”

According to research done by the CNN Political Team, based on U.S. Census figures there will be 15 swing states in the 2012 presidential elections: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

In a tight race, Garcia said, Hispanic voters could be the margin of victory in 12 of the 15 swing states. The reason? The number of eligible Latino voters in those states has grown by more than 700,000 in the last four years.

“So the important message for the Latino community that’s living in one of these 15 swing states is ‘Get off your couch and go register to vote because you’re going to determine the next election’ — and that’s powerful,” Garcia said.

On the Democratic side, Garcia points out, President Obama hasn’t delivered on a promise he made while campaigning: comprehensive immigration reform.

20120227-220903.jpg

“What he’s done is he has deported 400,000 immigrants a year — a total of 1.2 million so far — and he hasn’t delivered on the Dream Act,” Garcia said. The Dream Act is a bill that would give a path towards citizenship to undocumented young people attending college or serving in the armed forces.

As the GOP primaries play out and as the focus shifts toward the general election in November, Latino voters likely will find themselves more and more the focus of candidates’ attention in those key swing states. Which candidate will get those voters’ attention in the polling booth is a question that will be answered in the weeks and months ahead.

IS THE HISPANIC VOTER TURNOUT INCREASING IN ARIZONA?

THE HISPANIC BLOG BY JESSICA MARIE GUTIERREZ

Arizona‘s Emerging Latino Vote

 

PHOENIX (CBS5) -The Latino vote is growing in Arizona and lawmakers are taking notice. State Senator Jerry Lewis was among the speakers at the Town Hall today called Arizona’s Emerging Latino Vote.Arizona Latino Research Enterprise and the Raul H. Castro Institute at Phoenix Collegesponsored the event.The groups say Latino voter turnout in the Phoenix city elections tripled last year and of the total Latino voters in the state eighty percent of them are concentrated in Maricopa and Pima counties.

“So if you hit those counties and you’re effective at what you’re doing you’re going to have a dramatic impact, not just on those counties, the concentration of those urban center there, but you’re going to have an impact, ultimately on general elections, statewide elections,” shared James Garcia with the Arizona Hispanic Chamber.

The groups say Latino voters played a pivotal role in at least four races in Maricopa County last year including the recall of former State Senate President Russell Pearce.
