I want them in their home countries.
Those are word of someone who realizes he's lost the argument.
I hope it holds true.
No you moron. We want them out. Deny them any sort of benefit and they’ll leave voluntarily.
“Are they for sending these people home? Do they want us to put them in concentration camps, on buses, and send them back home?”
Works for me!
Whatever it takes to run them and their worthless anchors OUT of the country.
He just lost his whole argument due to the immutable principles of Godwin’s Law.
No Rand, I want them to come here, see how a country is supposed to be run for the benefit of its citizens, and go home to peacefully change their native countries into wealthy, friendly, ‘good neighbor’ countries run by honest and wise representatives elected in a fair and open process.
Ah yes, the old Concentration Camp canard.
A longtime favorite of leftists and No Borders Republicans.
Apparently Rand Paul must equate Dwight Eisenhower and his Operation Wetback with the Nazis that he crushed in WWII.
The fool needs to look up the word ‘deportation’, which is what is supposed to be done with foreigners squatting in the United States.
FURP. Go join Marco and Ryan and the rest of the treason lobby Republicans who think that Americans need to be replaced.
I dunno. What would happen to me if I snuck into Mexico with my wife and young children, lived underground for a decade doing manual labor, with a falsified or stolen identity, and then was suddenly found by the Mexican authorities?
Would the Mexican government give me welfare, educate and feed my children, and then offer me a chance to become a Mexican citizen?
I don’t freakin’ THINK SO.
“I asked about the purpose of the government agency he heads, since I had never heard of such a thing. He said its purpose is to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States. I asked, ‘Why?’
"’It serves Mexico's needs,’ he said, and ticked off a list of such things as remittances to Mexico of $10 billion a year, which is 30 percent of the Mexican GDP [gross domestic product]. It provides employment for an exploding population, it alleviates social instability due to rising unemployment and it provides training for Mexicans, ultimately repatriating those skills back to Mexico.
"I responded to his final aim - repatriation of trained and skilled Mexicans back into Mexico - and asked, ‘Then your government would oppose amnesty for the illegal Mexicans in the United States?’
"He cried, ‘Oh no! We support amnesty totally. . . . by populating the United States with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico.’
"President Vicente Fox believes the U.S. border is a figment of the imagination. In fact, Fox and/or members of his government stated at one point that the borders of Mexico extend much farther north than currently drawn on the map.”
Yes, I want them to go home, to their own countries.
No. I want them to return to their home countries and then, if they wish to live here, I want them to follow the LEGAL immigration procedures for moving to the United States.
Why is that so hard for politicians to understand?
Oh, really?
Perhaps you should try ENFORCING our current Immigration Laws?
(1) 100% E-Verify.
(2) Employer sanctions.
(3) Civil lawsuits against illegal employers.
(4) No welfare or Medicaid for illegal aliens.
When they have no jobs, no place to live, and no food, they will SELF-DEPORT.
Rand - you are an Open Borders Libertarian.
Your immigration policy, and your deceit, will destroy the Republican Party.
I will never vote for you.
If you are the GOP nominee, I will stay home.
Give them some legal status to work here, but absolutely no Medicaid, food stamps, welfare, free Obama phones etc. If their kids are in public schools they should pay tuition or let private groups give them scholarships. No path to citizenship for at least a decade and no voting for 20 years. Any illegal who commits a crime should be sent to jail and then immediately deported including all his family. Illegals who fail to register should face serious jail time and I am in favor of detention camps...make them basically humane but no place anyone would want to stay. Those deported but who sneak back should face big jail time and their families should be permanently barred from entering the US even as tourists.
Nope, I just want them to go home.
Put ‘em on busses and send them home, or, Concentration Camps (really, Prisons for their Illegal presence), are bot FINE with me....just get the Illegals back where they came from, and take those kids they dropped here with them, because Foreigners dropping babies to become “Automatic U.S. Citizens” is stupidity on its face.
Typical extremist doofus. Are there two of these guys? The one that's rational and this insane one?
Concentration Camps or Free citizenship reward for criminal behavior are the only two choices?
I just can't help remembering simpler times, and clearly simpler decisions. Politicians, choose... the citizens you represent? or a monumentally expensive invading army with and attitude?
I am fluent in Spanish, but I refuse to play that game; I'l just say, YES, WE CAN!!
OPERATION WETBACK
(Original Official name of the Federal operation.)
During the 1950s, however, this "Good Old Boy" system changed under Eisenhower - if only for about 10 years.
In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.
Influential politicians, including Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) of Texas and Sen. Pat McCarran (D) of Nevada, favored open borders, and were dead set against strong border enforcement, Brownell said. But General Swing's close connections to the president shielded him - and the Border Patrol - from meddling by powerful political and corporate interests.
One of Swing's first decisive acts was to transfer certain entrenched immigration officials out of the border area to other regions of the country where their political connections with people such as Senator Johnson would have no effect.
Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day.
By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.
By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Now, to me, that's in the neighborhood of 1,200,000 in three months.
Yes, if it is a stop on the way out of the country.
Doesnt bode well for citizens competing for jobs, will add to Obamacare and debt problems
