What do you mean, that\u2019s not the point? The point is, where is it written that the United States is required to import people, things, events, policies that are a burden on the American people or are a burden on our economy? Why is it not written that what we import, what we immigrate, what we do ends up improving us and our country and making it better? Is that not also the point, Mr. Limbaugh? Because, you see, from the Democrat perspective, it isn\u2019t. From the Democrat perspective, the point is, we care about the poor, the downtrodden, the thirsty, and we\u2019re the only ones who do because we have compassion, and therefore we care only about those who can\u2019t help themselves.<\/p>\n
They need a permanent underclass that\u2019s gonna always vote for them. But Trump asking that question, which is consistent with what he said the day he announced for the presidency in 2015. He said this so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to me and a group of Republican senators was a big step backward. The wall was not properly funded.<\/p>\n
Look, I guarantee you that after this big meeting that was televised earlier this week from the Cabinet Room, all those Democrats and Republicans, I guarantee you, guarantee you, guarantee you the Democrats in that meeting — Steny Hoyer, Dick Durbin, the rest of them, Dianne Feinstein — I guarantee you they thought Trump was softening. They thought Trump was getting ready to make a deal. They thought they had finally beat up on him. They thought he did that whole thing, maybe to answer the Wolff book, but they think he did that from a position of weakness.<\/p>\n
They thought Trump had that meeting to present an opportunity to come together with them. They made the most wrong, incorrect assumption they could make. And so what did they present? They presented an immigration deal that has been rejected by — well, it\u2019s been rejected by the American people since it was first offered. They submitted what they would do if they were in power because they assumed Trump had been softened up and weakened. And instead Trump looked at it and said, “Why in the world do you want to bring in all these people from blah, blah?” And they were shocked, and they were stunned.<\/p>\n
And all Trump was doing was being consistent. He had not softened up, he had not weakened, and he was not looking for a deal with them to escape problems elsewhere. He held firm on it. There\u2019s no reason to prolong chain migration. There\u2019s no reason to do the visa lottery. You know, we\u2019ve gotta do something about the DREAMers, and there\u2019s a way to deal with that, by the way, that makes perfect sense. But it isn\u2019t the Democrat way.<\/p>\n

The Democrat way is take \u2019em however they are. In fact, the worse shape they\u2019re in, the better, because that\u2019s the more need they\u2019re in. So ever since then, there has been this cacophony of mock anger, mock outrage, mock disbelief from the Drive-By Media. They\u2019re not upset by the use of that word. They\u2019re not offended by it. They\u2019re not the slightest bit surprised. It\u2019s not like they\u2019re innocent little snowflakes and don\u2019t talk like that themselves, because they most assuredly do. They\u2019re among the biggest foul mouths on the planet, folks, liberal Democrats. But they have this image that everything they do is morally perfect and superior and nothing is ever said that\u2019s ever offensive to anyone. It\u2019s all a crock. All this is is another opportunity they think they can use to get rid of the guy.<\/p>\n
So in the midst of all of this, it\u2019s time for the 50-year proclamation, anniversary of the proclamation of Martin Luther King Day. And Trump presided over the ceremony. And it was in the White House. And he was surrounded by African-Americans, smiling, beaming African-Americans, thrilled to be there, thrilled to be there and part of this ceremony honoring Dr. King.<\/p>\n
Vice President Mike Pence was there standing right behind Trump. He was smiling. There was not one sign, there was not one indication that there was the slightest bit of controversy that had gone on in the last 12 hours or 24. It was surreal. And the media\u2019s in there, and you can hear their shutters snapping on their cameras. And you just know that they\u2019re wanting to shout all kinds of questions, and they\u2019re wanting to embarrass Trump, and they\u2019re wanting to pummel Trump. But they hold back because it\u2019s a ceremony honoring Dr. King.<\/p>\n
And what was surreal about it was it was the elephant in the room. Here the Drive-Bys have created this, “Oh, my gosh. Can you believe it? It\u2019s unreal. It\u2019s unpresidential.” All of this over the president\u2019s choice of a word. And a ceremony honoring Dr. King, and there\u2019s Ben Carson and members of the King family, and they\u2019re loving Trump, and they\u2019re honored to be there. And you just know the media\u2019s about to flip its wig. This isn\u2019t supposed to happen. And so here\u2019s Trump. We have two sound bites. A portion of his remarks at the proclamation ceremony.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Dr. King\u2019s faith and his love for humanity led him and so many other heroes to courageously stand up for civil rights of African-Americans. Through his bravery and sacrifice, Dr. King opened the eyes and lifted the conscience of our nation. He stirred the hearts of our people to recognize the dignity written in every human soul.<\/p>\n
