Rand Paul's immigration speech

03.19.13 | Hon Sen Rand Paul (KY)

[Perdogg]

Here is the speech without media commentary, people can read for themselves and decide.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

LOL! And the union thug crowd goes wild!

[txrangerette]

Sad.

So new to the political scene and with such potential.

And so quickly off the rails.

[cdcdawg]

Imagine 12 million more Democrat voters!

> Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out

Imagine 12 million new DemonRAT voters.

[Maceman]

Just curious. Does anyone know if you have to press 1 for Spanish in Mexico?

[Uncle Chip]

From what we have seen so far, he suffers from a bipolar political disease.

“12 million more people being productive contributors.”

And 12 million new people raping taxpayers-—because they can.

RE :”Here is the speech without media commentary, people can read for themselves and decide.”

Its one thing to talk positive and characterize a race as positive, in this case conservative, to try to court some support, I understand his doing that. that is standard election politics

But its another to use it as a claim (clearly false) to get more of them the vote when they are biased to Dem issues.

Same question for Paul and Rub : where exactly do you draw the line on amnesty?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Well, scratch another one off the list.

Or, perhaps I should have written:

Bien, rasguñe otro uno de la lista.

[Perdogg]

“Conservatives, myself included, are wary of amnesty. My plan will not grant amnesty or move anyone to the front of the line.”

[dfwgator]

Well, scratch another one off the list.

Just who is left on the list?

[Berlin_Freeper]

I am going back to Paul Ryan.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Here's my list:

[kabar]

And 12 million new Dem voters. And 12 million more on Obamacare. And 12 million more draining SS and Medicare and food stamps? And 12 million more sponsoring 66 million of their relatives to come here legally thru chain migration, i.e. family reunification. And 12 more competing legally with Americans for jobs.

Pure insanity.

RE “Conservatives, myself included, are wary of amnesty. My plan will not grant amnesty or move anyone to the front of the line.”

GWB and Mccain swore that their amnesty plan was not amnesty because they pay a fine and ‘back taxes’, but they were clearly amnesty plans, and they claimed it put them in the back, when it put them in front.. They just made up their own definitions to suit their arguments.

Just being in the US puts them in the front of the line in some ways (’we cant deport them all’).

So my comment/question stands, exactly where do they draw the line?

I am not opposed to evrerything like many here are, but I am very against giving illegals the vote to vote Dem.

No mas, Senor Paul.

“Conservatives, myself included, are wary of amnesty. My plan will not grant amnesty or move anyone to the front of the line.”

Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crime, is amnesty. They are at the head of line, which begins in their home country. We have over 4 million intending immigrants overseas waiting their turn to enter legally. They have completed all the necessary paperwork and paid the fees. Whatever happened to the rule of law?

Citizenship is a bonus. Rand Paul is selling us the same BS that McCain, Graham, Bush, Rove, Kennedy, etc tried to sell us. Rand Paul is a libertarian not a conservative.
