	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I agree with this.

“After ensuring border security, then I would normalize the status of the 11 million undocumented citizens so they can join the workforce and pay taxes. I would normalize them at a rate of about 2 million per year. I would start with Dream Act kids”

I like your stance on budget issues, Rand, but you are dead in the water on your amnesty posture. I will not support you for president.

NO NO NO ... VERIFY THEN TRUST!!!!! (We’ve trusted them before)

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is living up to the Party of Stupid’s amnesty for illegal aliens ideal. He also knows that this glittering turd of a statement has exactly ZERO chance of happening because Obama and Holder do NOT believe in enforcing ANY immigration laws.

We have good immigration laws already in existence and JWB and Barack and Eric have NEVER ENFORCED THEM. So now, according to Rand Paul, these lawless slime are going to do a 180 degree turn due to “Immigration Reform”? What kind of drugs is Rand Paul doing?

Rand Paul was playing politics on the issue then, and will probably continue to do so. He quickly came out with his own plan so he could triangulate the issue. This way he got positive news coverage for offering “reform” that never had any chance of passing, got to criticize both amnesty and the status quo, and could reasonably end up voting against the bill, which he rather loudly did. I like Rand Paul, but this was cynical, political bullcrap, when he could and should have been leading against amnesty.

[chris37]

I do not and will not trust.

You and yours have done nothing to earn my trust, and you will not have it.

Sorry, that’s a deal killer, Mr. Paul.

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.

[Grampa Dave]

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

[SeminoleCounty]

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.

[umgud]

No amnesty of any kind
No more anchor babies
Strict screening for public benefits (no illegals to recive them)
Cut off all magnets

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!

McCain TV Ad: "Complete The Danged Fence"

[Hugin]

“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”.

[Jim Robinson]

FURP!! NO AMNESTY!!

[Dagnabitt]

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.

[CowboyJay]

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.

[ek_hornbeck]

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.
