>> I am for immigration reform because what we have now is untenable.
Enforce the law. Unequivocally. No talk of “reform”, just enforce existing law. If it’s “broken” how will you know what’s broken if you don’t use it?
Enforce existing law. Anything else: good bye.
>> Republicans don’t want to because they want the border open for cheap labor
The implication that Democrats are not exploiting this labor force is absurd.
Hey Rand: it just depends on what the meaning of “is” is.
None of these amnesty pimps ever want to own their own agenda.
If you won’t enforce the law, which requires foreign nationals to be deported back to their own country, then you are for amnesty.
It doesn’t matter what cute name you come up with to hide the fact. ‘Regularization’ ‘Normalization’ ‘Special Work Permit’.
It’s all bullcrap. It’s all just Amnesty by Another Name.
you’re damn right....free crap.
and I’m shutting up before a tirade
Rand Paul was FOR amnesty BEFORE he was against it. And no, that lie doesn’t fly either, Sen. Rand Paul — your lips are moving and you’re lying again.
Yes, Grover Norquist is a bought and paid shill for the Muslims. Another of the GOP Traitors-R-Us RINO Establishment a**holes.
Friedman made an idiotic statement there, people would flood America by the endless 100s of millions even without welfare.
When you live on a dirt floor and haul water, and struggle and someone says that America has dropped it’s borders, all is open, then you will do what it takes to struggle here than there welfare or no welfare, life will be better.
Mass immigration is what ended us as America, and that is what JFK and the democrats/international left wanted it to do.
The few here old enough to remember that immigration was the goal of leftist throughout Western Civilization know, 50 years ago they were changing laws all over to import third worlders to Scandinavia, and throughout Europe and Britain.
They needed people to flood the West to undermine the culture, and the national identities, the history, the religion, the unity and sense of community, the commonality of the nations.
FURP!!
I think politicians prefer to call it spin though.
AMEN!! Nailed it.
“Our nation should have open arms to immigrants who want to come here and work hard to make a new life in a free nation.”
That is not enough senator.
We should have open arms for people who want to become Americans and adopt our culture. In order to become Americans there is a legal process that cannot be bypassed. Everything else is secondary to that.
That is where you failed senator.
He will not allow anyone to smear him by quoting his own words.
If you give illegal aliens any rights at all and they don’t go to jail for all the crimes they have committed here, then it is amnesty.
Paul wants to redefine the word so that what he supports isn’t what has been since the dawn of the English language defined as “amnesty”.
Put a fork in Paul. He’s done.
What we have now is amnesty. Nobody is prosecuting anyone for breaking the laws and nobody is enforcing the laws on the books.
We don't need to reform the immigration laws, we just need to enforce them.
His point was that we don’t live in a libertarian state.
It is silly, America would be just as destroyed, regardless of why the border was opened.
