Limbaugh loses it over Trump's immigration flip-flop

Rush Limbaugh could not stop laughing on Thursday at Donald Trump’s abrupt shift in immigration policy.

“Who knew —” Limbaugh managed to say, before bursting into laughter. “Do you imagine what it’s like to be Jeb Bush today?”

He continued to choke up, apologizing between bursts of laughter.

“I know it frustrates you to hear me. I’m sorry," he said on his radio show. "OK, I’m regaining my composure.”

Limbaugh began his sentence again.

“Who knew that it would be Donald Trump to come on and convert the GOP base to supporting amnesty the same week Ann Coulter’s book comes out,” Limbaugh said.

“Poor Ann, oh my God, she has this book ‘In Trump We Trust,’ and in it she says, ‘The only thing, the only thing that could cause Donald Trump any trouble whatsoever is if he flipflops on abortion or immigration and goes amnesty,' and it looks like he’s getting close to it,” Limbaugh said. “I mean what timing, I have to dry my eyes here."

Limbaugh’s fit of laughter comes after Coulter, a vocal opponent of immigration reform, slammed Trump on Wednesday for “softening” his stance on the issue.

Although the Republican nominee says he opposes "amnesty" and insists his signature proposal, a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, is “100 percent being built,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity this week that he would "work with" undocumented immigrants as president and suggested they might be able to remain in the United States if they paid back taxes.

Bush, the former Florida governor who ran against Trump in the Republican primary, told a radio host on Thursday: "All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into — it’s kind of disturbing.”

'Back taxes'? Undocumented workers typically have FICA, FUTA, SUTA, Medicare, Medicaid, and income tax deducted from their paycheck. Because they are 'undocumented', they do not get a dime back, even though they usually earn less than what 'citizens' qualify for. Don't tell me that they usually owe taxes. They pay license fees, sales taxes, usuary fees, excise taxes, gasoline taxes, cigarette taxes, and liquor taxes.

the Republicans are insane w/ "amnesty" and such talk.
Trumps position IS a flip flop, there can' be any argument there. But if he comes to a better idea...why bitch about it?

I agree. Many great politicians tend to ameliorate their initial positions in order advance the conversation. The problem just may be that Trump lowered the conversation, and then backtracked to a less 'lower' position. That inherently does not advance the conversation, it merely sidetracks it into a 'I am less lower than you, position'. This is not about who wins the Latino vote, it is about who gives a fuck. Latinos know that the Drumpf will not stand by them. Neither will Hillary. But they also understand that Hillary will throw them under the bus way after the Don does.

Perhaps he will be making them (in actuality) purchase their status, just like those countries in NATO will pay more or get the boot... Or not, we will see which way he flops next week?

How do undocumented workers have FICA deductions, et al, if they have no Social Security number?

They are paid in cash, off the books.

ahhh no....that's not how it works. Very few work under the table. Until recently most have provided fake documents to obtain employment. It's not hard to forge an SS card. Until fairly recently a prospective employee was only required to provide documentation. Employers were not required to verify their documentation.

That has changed with the e-verify program implemented under the current administration and that has been very effective at curtailing illegal immigration.

So you have documentation on how "very few" undocumented workers get paid off the books?

If e-verify keeps them off of the books, and "very few" of them work off of the books, how are they then working?

Very often they are not paid in cash or off the books. They give fake SSN's or a SSN of a friend or relative to get a job and as a result the employer pays the "FICA, et al" out of their earnings. Id say that is how more than 50% of "illegals" are able to have "over the table" income. The result is often that they actually overpay their taxes because they don't file for a refund.

I could swear I was just told that e-verify virtually eliminated that.
