"The vote in favor of the bill was a vote in favor of rewarding illegal aliens via a four-month reinstatement of Section 245(i). That is an expired immigration provision that allows illegal aliens with qualified relatives or employers in the U.S. to pay a $1,000 fine, to apply for a green card in this country, and to be allowed to stay in this country without fear of deportation until their turn arrives for a green card years, and even decades, later."

"Individuals who remain in the country after their visas have expired must be treated as lawbreakers. Remember, only U.S. citizens have the constitutional right to be on American soil; non-citizens are in the country at the discretion of the State department. We should not tolerate lawless behavior or anti-American activities from guests in our country." -- Ron Paul, 1-7-02

His words don't seem to match his actions.

Perhaps like G.W. Bush making an oath on the Bible to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States"...and then signing into law that blatantly violates the First Amendment?

Which of those instances is worse, in terms of "words not matching actions"? A violation of an oath (on a Bible) to follow The Law? Or a vote to change a law that shouldn't even be on the books in the first place? (As any person who truly values liberty will tell you, there should be no numerical limits on immigration.)
