Top labor union stands with Rand Paul on immigration (SEIU)
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 20, 2013 | Sean Higgins

The Service Employees International Union applauded Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul for announcing that he supports an immigration bill that would include a pathway to legalization for existing illegal immigrants. In the statement emailed to reporters (it doesn’t appear to be online) SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina said:

The diversity behind the voices in support of commonsense immigration reform continues to grow, strengthening the call for a solution this year. The GOP should heed Sen. Rand Paul’s words today and truly join the consensus that wants Congress to pass a bill that will create a just roadmap to citizenship, boost our economy and keep families together.

With more bipartisan support coming to the fore, the momentum for a real and lasting solution to our broken immigration system demonstrates the readiness of the American public. In the past few days, we have seen Greenpeace, the Evangelical community, conservative leaders and other African American groups uniting with the American majority for immigration reform.......

Could anything be worse for Rand Paul than SEIU agreeing with him?

Could anything be worse for the Republican party than to agree to Amnesty?

Give me a party I can belong to that doesn’t sell me out PLEASE.

Dammit Rand, distance yourself from your dad’s positions for a change...

The unions just want more dues, not free individuals.

The problem with giving in is that now the Democrats are going to go for it all... either a rapid path to citizenship or instant citizenship, along with the right to vote and official access to Federal and State welfare benefits and Obamacare.

The Repubs are putting a bazooka to their head and pulling the trigger.

Rand Paul- fail. Good thing his failing are coming out now and not later when he’s the GOP nominee.

Hardly. Plenty here will ignore all this and call us tratiors if we don’t elect him to Christ’s throne itself.

See past 2 days threads for details. There’s a river in Egypt preparing for many new riverboat Captains.

While I disagree with him on immigration, I think this is little more than a ploy to harm him. After all, I don't see the SEIU praising John McCain or any of the other true open border supporters.

Do not assume SEIU is telling the truth about anything, these people (leadership) are liars to the core.

Rand has his 5 minutes of fame with the filibuster, but now we know he’s an OPEN BORDERS type, so he’s through on this site (thankfully).

But no doubt Karl Rove is starting to juiced up...

The Paul-bots are already behind him 110%, just like his old man. And once they make up their mind, we know where that will lead to....

There is a difference between “Citizenship” and improving Guest Work Program. SEIU knows the dems are toast in 2016. They just want to add smoke for the 2016 election.

as soon as he started to mention marriage and homosexuals and then this then he lost me.

Seems Rand is his fathers son but more polished.

He and the others need to go to the liberal tarian party and spout it there

queer marriage , illegals, what;s next cut defence and the military or get rid of the CIA, FBI which his father wanted.

He needs to go to his own party like his supporters, the only part we agree witht hem is some fiscal issues other than that they are more in tune with the far elft and certainly some racists have infested his support

let me guess, the liberal tarians are infiltrating our party, using our conventions, using our party, using our primaries to tell us that we have to change to suit them while they push their far elft agenda on drugs, homosexuality, turd poking marriage, open borders, military

why the hell does our party put up with these lot anyway

Rand thinks marriage is between one man and one woman. (It is a religious term)
Rand also thinks the word marriage should be removed from the tax code.
He apparently has no problem with civil unions or civil joining, no matter what two people gather together to call themselves committed.
I do not disagree.

you ever heard him say marriage is betwen a man and a woman, no me neither, he did mention though about the tax code which helps the homosexuals, oh and marriage is not just religious.

Justice of the peace, divorce, judges who gets the kdis and house etc

I;mnot going to debate you about if your I should support Rand, to me he;s going like his father and he;s lost me
