FIRE the stupid idiot in 2014. Make sure if you are a Tennessean, to VOTE out Sen Lamar Alexander 73 year old career RINO. Vote State Rep Joe Carr, U can check his state voting record out.

In the real world, this slogan/motto is needed.

This is still Amnesty

Doing anything other than Deporting illegal aliens is Amnesty.....are people that easily fooled by Randmesty Paul

Our current law says deport illegal aliens....not doing so is amnesty.

By way of border enforcement ...

Under Article I, Section 8, when Congress calls forth the militia to repel invasions, is a Presidential signature required? There would be issues with the “Commander in Chief” thing, of course, but if Congress called forth the militia to defend against the (mostly) unarmed invasion that our southern states are now enduring, how could the President refuse?

Heck, I’d be happy to see Jan Brewer go it alone and call out her own militia (as in the “unorganized” militia versus the captive National Guard), then dare Washington to refuse to pay for it!

For definitive border security, we need boots on the ground. Let’s try it!

I don't agree with this. But I really believe that about the only chance we have of taking the US back is a Cruz/RandPaul ticket.

Cruz has the same position on immigration as Paul: http://therightscoop.com/sen-ted-cruz-also-supports-temporary-legalization-status-in-the-immigration-bill/

"Sen. Ted Cruz introduced an amendment to the current immigration bill back in May that would have removed the path to citizenship from the bill completely. But it also supported the same temporary legal status (RPI status) that is already in the bill that Sen. Marco Rubio has been discussing. And even more than that, it also supported permanent legal residency status as well.

"Now if you happen to believe that temp legal status is amnesty, as some of you have suggested, then I guess that means Ted Cruz supports amnesty."

“Normalization would get them a temporary Visa but would not put them ahead of anyone already waiting to enter the country. These undocumented persons would now be documented but they would still have to wait in line like everyone else.”

That makes no sense. If they are here, by definition they have already cut in line ahead of “everyone else”.

Amnesty is treason.

It is the end of the United States in favor of a defacto merged state with Mexico.

The massive population transfer it will legalize and expand through family chain migration, along with the clarion signal that the USA will NEVER again enforce immigration law, will essentially erase our borders.

It is treason. Its advocates and agents betray our homeland.

ENOUGH with these ‘comprehensive’. It’s just an easy way to water down the individual parts to make the whole thing meaningless.

Pass the damn thing piece-meal, on a contingent that the next piece cannot be brought up to vote until the prior is settled upon (IE: can’t skip to ‘amnesty’ until the border bill is passed)

Rand’s gone native in DC. He thinks his buddies at the US Chamber of Croooks will buy him the White Hut for his trouble.

Rube.

Every politician promises us that we'll be given future border enforcement in "exchange" for granting amnesty (under another name) to the 12 million or so illegals who are already here.

My question is, why are we allowing the enforcement of existing border laws to be held hostage in this way? Why is it that amnesty for illegals inevitably piggy backs upon (empty) promises for future enforcement? And why are we supposed to believe that Washington will be any more serious about enforcing the border laws in the future than they have been in the past?

Rand Paul is proving to be a major disappointment on this issue, as is most of the GOP. They more or less offer the same thing as Obama, except for some empty lip service about improving surveillance at the border in the future.
