Suppose

limxaf(x)=l\lim_{x\to a} f(x)=l

for contradiction. By definition, there exists a δ\delta such that

0<xa<δf(x)l<1.0<|x-a|<\delta \Rightarrow |f(x)-l|<1.

However, because both rational and irrational numbers are dense in the reals, the implied inequality does not hold no matter what value of ll is chosen.
