Another day, another Obama administration scandal in the world of Rush Limbaugh.

The conservative radio host on Tuesday speculated that President Obama planned the increase in undocumented minors crossing the border into the United States.

“Six months ago the Regime began planning,” Limbaugh said on his show, referring to the Obama administration. “We’ve got 40,000/50,000 whatever it is, the number of unaccompanied children from El Salvador, Guatemala, Central American countries. They’re not close. They’re having to take trains. The train is called the Train of Death, by the way.”

“How is this happening? When did it start? Why are we not sending them back? The border patrol has become day care centers for these arriving kids. You tell me this is not purposeful,” he continued.

Limbaugh went on to question why the Obama administration knew ahead of time that there would be an increase of undocumented minors crossing the border.

Limbaugh, among other conservatives, loves to speculate that Obama purposefully creates his own scandals. Recently, he questioned the timing of the capture of the top suspect in the Benghazi scandal. And in 2013 he speculated that the White House created the IRS scandal to distract from Benghazi.
