Rush Limbaugh comments on Governor Kasich's Caravan Guilt Trip
[Rush] I switched over to CNN, and I caught the governor of Ohio there, John Kasich, and he is being interviewed by... I don’t know who the reporter was at CNN. Doesn’t matter. Being interested by the caravan and America and how to deal with it. I just want you to hear this. We have two bites. Here’s No. 1.

KASICH: We have a caravan coming north. We don’t want all those people coming across our border. And there are ways to deal with it. I believe that if we would check those who are legitimately in need of asylum could be vetted before they even get to the border. But, you know what? We’re born in America. You know how lucky we are to be born in America and not be born in Guatemala, where they would say to your daughter, you know, if you don’t do what we want, we will rape your daughter or we will kill your son if he’s not a drug mule? Now, they’re marching north. And, you know what? It could easily have been all of us, that we’re in the caravan, that we’re marching north, trying to save our families and save our children.

RUSH: All right. So what is... The ruse here, or the technique here, is moral equivalence. There but for the grace of God go I. Phil Donahue used to do this all the time, Phil Donahue would host his show and when the subject of illegal immigration would come up, he’d start preaching about the accident of his birth. "You know, I was born just a few miles inside the U.S. border, and look at the difference it’s made for me."

And he started extolling the guilt that he felt over how the accident of his birth resulted in him being an American and how basically unfair that was to other people in the world. As though being born into a country of prosperity and decency is something to feel guilty about. And it may be something to feel very grateful for. I have no quarrel with that. But it’s how you deal with this that matters. We simply can’t take in everybody in the world.
