RUSH: Now, in a related story from the Washington Examiner from our former old buddy Byron York, headline: "Clinton Campaign: Yes, World Has 'Right' to Immigrate to U.S." Say what? "Do people around the world have a right to move to the United States? It's a bedrock belief of most conservatives that there is no such right. The U.S. sets its own immigration policy, admits whom it chooses, and foreign nationals in foreign countries have no right ... to enter the United States.
"Now, Hillary Clinton says there is such a right, at least if a tweet from her campaign headquarters can be taken for a policy [statement]. This is what happened. In his Monday speech on terrorism and immigration, Donald Trump said, 'We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally, through a process... No one has a right to immigrate to this country. It is the job of a responsible government to admit only those who expect to succeed and flourish here and really be proud of what they've done and where they came from. They have to love our country,'" quote, unquote.
Does anybody have a problem with that? I remember back in the nineties, I announced a Limbaugh version of foreign aid. Back in the nineties when budgets were the subject of the day and how spending was out of control, notice how, by the way, that's now a new norm, too. Out-of-control spending? Yeah. You just expect it. And a lot of people said, "Well, we really need to cut back on the foreign aid budget. We're giving way too much money away to these foreign countries who don't like us." I said, "It's not that much money. We could eliminate it and it wouldn't make a difference anybody could notice."
But I said theoretically I agree with you. I said here's what I would do to revise foreign aid. You want to get foreign aid? You have to love America. You have to openly profess your love to America, you have to respect America, and then you have to express your gratitude for the aid we give you. And if, after we give you aid, you start criticizing or undermining us, we're gonna pull the aid package away and you're gonna be on the excrement list and you're gonna be on it for a minimum of five years. You have to have five years of great pro-American behavior and statements before you can get back in our good graces and get back on the foreign aid gravy train.
That's what I said I would do. It was met with resounding applause by my TV audience and virtually anybody I shared it with. And I hear in what Trump's saying much of what I said. Hey, we love immigration, but we want people to come here who want to be Americans. We want people to come here who love America, who want to be part of this country, who are proud of who they are and love America.
Is there anything wrong with that? Is our immigration policy, because of our Constitution, does it have to be a suicide pact? Do we have to allow people into this country who hate America, to show what great people we are? To demonstrate our principles, to demonstrate our commitment to freedom, do we have to open our country up to people who hate it and want to undermine it? I don't think so. But many on the left think that's the test. Yeah, you're really committed to freedom? Yeah, are you? Well, will you let people in this country that hate America? If you won't, then you don't believe in freedom. That's what so many of these cockamamie loco weeds on the left say.
After this speech that Trump gave, the Hillary campaign in Ohio tweeted out the story of a Libyan who came to the United States on a student visa in 1994, was not able to renew it and simply stayed in the country illegally. He didn't live in the shadows. He settled in Dayton, founded the Islamic Federation of Ohio and the Islamic Center for Peace. After 20 years he received permanent residency in 2015. In the story headline: "Donald Trump Would Have Kicked My Family Out of the Country," the man's son, whose name was given as Mohammed G., wrote, "There was no way that I could let a person that disrespects my father and other immigrants win the White House."
On Monday the Clinton Ohio campaign tweeted Mohammed G.'s picture with Trump's quote: "No one has the right to immigrate to this country." The campaign added: "We disagree." So the Clinton campaign: everybody does have a right to immigrate to America. Where is that right given? What other country has such a right, that anybody who wants to come can come? I assume Hillary means through the legal -- no, she can't mean that because she's all for illegal immi
