NEW YORK – The office of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has issued a statement to WND firing back against any suggestion that his participation in a conference call Wednesday held by a group that supports immigration reform indicates he favors amnesty for illegal aliens.
“Sen. Rand Paul never embraced amnesty on the call,” his office stated in an email. “Sen. Paul has never advocated for amnesty in any other forum and he voted against the Senate immigration bill.
-SNIP-
A column by Paul on immigration was published by Breitbart News Thursday morning. Paul writes that he’s “for immigration reform because I am against allowing 12 million more illegal immigrants into our country.”
“If we do nothing, 12 million more illegal immigrants will come. We must be in favor of reform — smart reform that starts with border security,” he says.
Then he states emphatically: “Characterizing that position as ‘amnesty’ is simply untrue.”
Paul says the status quo “is a lawless border.”

Good. then we are mostly on the same page.
That's rich! Considering how close he's been snuggling up to Grover Al-Ahmnesty bin Norquist and Namnesty Bloomberg.
If he’s talking compromise, I haven’t seen it, and I didn’t see any quotes on this thread from him stating it. If I do, I’ll drop him like a hot pocket. Compromise being, allowing the invaders to stay.
But, I doubt you can find one “conservative” politician in office who agrees with my position.
Feel better? Get that off your chest?
The are pro-amnesty, pro-abortion, anti-military, pro-drug wackos.
Does he also deny supporting McConnell in KY.
Paul is just another nut case like his father.
He is NO conservative.
Rand Paul is opposed to abortion in all cases.

Oh really?
Paul: I think that once again puts things in too small of a box. What I would say is there are thousands of exceptions. I’m a physician and every individual case is going to be different. Everything is going to be particular to that individual case and what is going on that mother and the medical circumstances of that mother…. There are a lot of decisions made privately by families and doctors that really won’t, the law won’t apply to, but I think it is important we not be flippant one way or the other and pigeon hole and say this person doesn’t believe in any sort of discussion between family and physician.
Blitzer: It sounds like you believe in some exceptions.
Paul: Well, there is going to be like I say thousands of extraneous situations where the life of the mother is involved and other things that are involved so I would say that each individual case would have to be addressed and even if there were eventually a change in the law let’s say people came more to my way of thinking there would still be a lot of complicated things the law may not ultimately be able to address in the early stages of pregnancy that would have to be part of what occurs between the physician and the woman and the family.

And u debate very well Norm.
Nope. He’s still there and idiots supporting the POS are still here. When either of the two, preferably both go away I’ll feel better.
Thanks. I wish I didn’t have to. But until I ride lightning, always a possibillity, I will not let bullshit pass. And I hope more join me in standing up against it
Yeah, he falls into the "personally opposed, but..." category that NEARLY ALL PRO-ABORTION POLITICIANS try to hide behind.
That's libertarianism in a nutshell they can claim to oppose something, but will go out of their way to ensure that it continues anyway.
We got your back Norm!
I support comprehensive immigration reform.
1) End all foreign aid to countries south of us who don’t actively oppose illegal migration. Well, how about we just end all foreign aid.
2) Build a freaking wall. Use concertina wire.
3) Fingerprint and identify all illegals.
4) Charge them according to the law. Title 8, Section 1325. They’re all criminals. And, if you take the time to identify them the first time, they’re mostly felons.
5) Give no greencards to anyone residing in the country illegally.
6) There’s probably a lot more crap, but I’m too pissed right now.
:)
There are ‘some’ good points to libertarianism. that is definitely not among them. That one is square under liberal-tarianism.
My back is good. I could use coverage a little to the ‘right’ though ;)
Mostly, yup. The proof of it is hard to deny.
Yeah, I guess you got me. Nice touch pinging Jim.
It’s all the evidence you bring to bear that I just can’t oppose.
And what is conservatism? We really, really don’t want to lift the debt ceiling, but we had no other choice! Waaaah!
Not pro-amnesty, just squishy, i.e., being a normal politician.
