And kiss the GOP goodbye.

The bottom will fall out of grassroots support for the GOP.

Maybe they can vote to give illegals free transportation, too.

So because they haven’t “come out” for amnesty they must be hiding their true intentions? Don’t you see where that kind of thinking leads? “You’re really an anti-Semite and a racist, you just haven’t admitted it yet.” “You’re pro-abortion and want dead babies burned to heat buildings, but you know better than to admit to it.” Blah, blah, blah...

One thing that nutjob Ron Paul rightly pointed out is; if the border is sealed, it goes both ways. May keep them out, keeps us in if the communists decide to make Gulag USA.

If we actually enforced immigration law, make their first illegal entry a felony and deport them and forever banish them, if they return, we execute them...just like Mexico has in their own immigration law.

Sauce for the goose.

There is no reason we should tolerate this nonsense from Mexico and the rest of the Marxist hellholes in Central America. They send us the dregs of their societies not the best.

"Paul then told the Harvard students that about 40% of illegal immigrants came to the country legally."

Okay, maybe I'm insane...did I read that right? Illegal immigrants came to the country legally? Right Rand.

Eff every last one who votes for any kind of amnesty, or compromise. Every one of these illegals need to be arrested and dumped at the border, along with their criminal offspring. Better yet, make 'em walk back thru the damn desert...coyotes, crows, & bugs gotta eat too.

Then secure the damned border of the country you're sworn to protect.

he voted against the Senate's immigration bill because there were not enough visas for construction and farm workers

In Right to Work states, illegal criminal aliens are all over job sites and I'm not talking "Rent a Drunk" laborer jobs but skilled labor.

Rand Paul is a non-starter.

JEB BUSH X RAND PAUL= 0.0000000000000000

Paul then told the Harvard students that about 40% of illegal immigrants came to the country legally. Though many of these now illegal immigrants have overstayed their visas, Paul claimed that most of these illegal immigrants simply just got new jobs. He has also previously said that these illegal immigrants simply lost their documents.

Attention Senator Paul: Being legal or illegal is like being pregnant, either you is is you ain't.

Rand has an anti-nationalist streak that is disturbing. You CANNOT allow unfettered abuse of the border in a welfare state. It’s suicide. Amnesty will legalize millions and the ensuing vacuum WILL IMMEDIATELY BE FILLED by new aliens willing to work for a fraction of citizens... which includes the new and soon to be “citizens.” Omg, Rand! Grow a brain!

I’m going to lose what?

I’m not smart enough?

Control of what?

If you employ an illegal you get 20 strokes with a cane. If you are an illegal adult you get 20 strokes with a cane and instant deportation.

Problem ends in 30 days. Oh - right - not politically acceptable. Fine.

If you hire an illegal you are fined 50% of your last three years profits averaged. You erect a wall (not a fence) on the southern border. This is now required because so much of the cross border traffic now is not just labor movement.

Problem ends in a year. (Man those coherent counter strategies are tough.....)

I would allow adults who have grown up here from childhood to stay but only as legal residents. I would not grant citizenship for 6 generations.

Conservatives will vote for this platform. If you are confident and clearly on message the mushy middle will vote for this platform. If you are a gutless, sniveling, defensive, standard issue RINO you will lose.

Look at every poll on this issue. Talk about the Repugs snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I never doubted his Rino leanings. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. When we get done peeling off all the layers, we’ll see that he’s pretty muck like his lying, pork barrel nutcase old man.

Any comments I make about the 2016 candidates do not include Sarah Palin as I seriously doubt she is going to run.

All this talk of amnesty is a moot point if we are going to rail agains’t the GOP candidates about it.

The truth of the matter is that there is an agreement at the highest levels of the US and Mexican governments to keep the border porous. We are the Mexican’s escape valve so that they never have to reform their corrupt government and provide jobs for all of their people. In return big AGra and big business get a steady supply of cheap labor. This agreement has been in effect for my entire lifetime and yours as well.

The border will never be made secure. Not by any President we elect. There is no one you can name who will do it. No one. Not one possible GOP presidential contender is even promising it.

Even with a porous border we could stop the flow of illegals by taking away the magnets: Jobs, living facilities, healthcare, welfare, free education, drivers licenses. They would simply stop coming. But that is also never going to happen. If it were going to happen it already would have. No GOP president or legislature will ever be willing or able to achieve this.

We could round up a significant number of illegals in an operation wetback type scenario and it would scare most of the rest of them to flee the country. We could do it but we won’t. Not one GOP presidential candidate is suggesting that.

So where does that leave us? Amnesty. Let them all stay and lets move on to other topics. Legalize them now and border security later. That is what is going to happen and I am just furious about it but its still going to happen.

This issue hangs around because every professional married couple in the major metropolitan areas has a nanny, a housekeeper, a lawn boy, pool boy, clean-up crew, carpenter-on-call, etc., and they love to have all of these at half price. They are the ones who need to be brought out into the sunshine. I know for a fact (personally know) that at least one mid-level IRS official in the D.C. area pays her housekeeper cash and knows full well that this employee does not, CANNOT declare income.

Palin... Possibly. She definitely has the guts, if not the inclination.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he believes some type of amnesty legislation could pass this year.

TRANSLATION: “The lame-duck congress is doing it the day after the midterm elections.”

Yep. Just like they did in 2010 with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell…

Dems thumbing their noses at the American people and the US military.
