There are many examples we need to set by our intent and actions while settling this issue and cleaning up the mess that's been made.
Let's make certain we each will want to be judged accordingly for all that we do here when our test is finally over, rather than fear that Judgment.
Don't accept his premise, so the rest of his position doesn't make sense.
Enforce the laws, they will go home. PERIOD.
If people come here illegally that’s their problem. They have to endure the conseqences.
Rand Paul is all hot air when it comes to criticism of big govt since his support for illegals will expand the welfare state.
I want them all home in time for Christmas. It’s the loving thing to do. ;>)
” “They’re not going home,””
They would if we cut off their taxpayer paid freebies and aggressively punish those who hire them.
Want to solve this problem? Here is how.
1. Close the entire southern border with National Guard troops. Then choose One county in Arizona.
2. Announce a 7 day moratorium for all illegals in the county to leave the country. Anyone illegally in the county at that time will be arrested and detained prior to deportation.
3. Any real property owned by arrested illegals will be taken by the county including homes, cars, etc.
4. Any illegal resisting arrest will be shot.
5. Choose your next county. You won't find anyone there.
you mean like where they’d put me if I entered Mexico illegally?
I don’t buy the premise that they won’t go home. In fact many have gone home since the economy crashed, so we know that under certain conditions they will chose to deport themselves.
You don’t need buses or concentration camps or other cartoonish things. You need policies that create an incentive for them to go home. E.g. Make it hard for them to get drivers licenses and access social services and rent apartments and put their kids in school, and make it hard for employers to hire them.
When Paul says they’re not leaving what he really means is we don’t have the will to pressure them to leave. What’s interesting is that the unwillingness is concentrated in the political class, not the general public.
“Do they want us to put them in concentration camps......”
Seattle has gotten rid of the term, “brown bag”....can’t we toss the term, “concentration camps”? Perhaps we could call them, “sleepover places” and provide them with ‘white bag’ lunches..
I love it when someone who knows nothing about immigration destroys himself trying to embarrass others on the issue.
Mr. Paul, if you take away the freebies, the government support, the ability to live five famlies in a one family abode, you’ll have these people return to the nation of their origin voluntarily.
Entender?
Well, they have to go SOMEWHERE before they make the trip home...
"Concentration camps" sounds so 20th Century. Call them "Processing Centers".
and of course it plays into the one world government mindset.
The issue has a wide array of forces that couldn’t care less about the U.S. of A. (or want to destroy us). This obviously includes a large number of the 'party on the right'.
I’m thinking if U.S. Citizens could repudiate ‘the powers that be’ and walk away from the federal reserve we might be able to reverse course...
No? ... I can dream, can’t I?
Somebody tell Rand that a bunch of them have already gone home. If there is nothing here for them they go on home on their own.
I really like Rand Paul on almost every issue but he just doesn’t seem to get it on immigration. I think he just feels like he cannot win the presidency if he advocates agains’t it.
Giving $300 million to radical leftist groups and giving foreigners the right to forge a couple of passports is the only alternative to “concentration camps”??
Hyperbolic much?
this immigratiion cave in shyte never ends...no one is immune
Twitter your thoughts on Amnesty to this prick; @SenRandPaul
Yes, they are going home if we make them. We’re supposed to be held hostage by invaders who break into our country and then say, “We’re not going home”? I don’t think so. They don’t get to say what they are or are not doing, any more than any other criminal gets to call the shots. All we need is the will to make them go home, as soon as we get over our terror of being called a name.
I want to send them back, yes. And charge it against our debt to that country.
Who are “they” of whom you speak, Senator Paul? The people who worked to get you elected perhaps? Keep poking them with Juan McCain’s twisted stick and you might find “they” aren’t there for you during your 2016 re-election campaign. Then you can retire and lay on a beach somewhere sharing Taco Bell takeout with Marco Rubio.
