Sen. Rand Paul: Illegal immigrants should be allowed to obtain legal status
WaPo ^ | 3.19.2013 | Rosalind S. Helderman

Posted on 03/19/2013 2:01:47 PM PDT by WCH

The dramatic shift in the Republican Party on immigration continued Tuesday, as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a conservative tea party icon and possible 2016 presidential contender, endorsed an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws that would allow the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to obtain legalized status. “Immigration will not occur until conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. That’s why I’m here today: to begin that conversation and become part of the solution,” he said in a breakfast speech Tuesday morning before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington.

LOL ah yes hes taling taxes, does a nice filibuster for no point really as he voted for the buffoon and now he; got that fame and attention for his liberal terian platform and we need to wake real full conservatives up to the liberal terians who act like little spoilt kids who want others to change to suit them.

heard VA Gov earlier on TV and he actually mentioned that we should stick to our principles, marriage, family, taxes, military and i was hell yea.

Sarah said it the best too we don;t give up our principles, we don;t change our platform we get the message out better.

Contrast to Paul which raised an eyebrow when he said he is the new GOP.

sorry Rand I gave you time and a chance but it seems you are your fathers son but in another safe state for your seat

Because high school never ended for many of them. They like being ‘seen’ as something they aren’t. They can come here and claim to be conservative to fit in. But the mask slipps, ego takes over and when called on the fraud of their ‘beliefs’ they get full liberal offended.

On the other hand, there are a number of DU Trolls that are goos at what they do to cause as much strif as possible. you can tell who they are as they go after those of us unwilling to back off. Within 5 posts they are guaranteed to take a long held conservative ideal and deride it as ‘purist’. Then go on a spree of personal attacks across several threads.

Then there are the paid Dems who obviously do it for the money.

Regardless, the end result is the same. Even if it’s hard to tell one from the other.

Liberal aterians need to understand thta of their patform was so great then they would have a big party and their own big convention.

Some people just haven't figured out that the political party with the most members and the biggest convention is the one with the best ideas.

I’m thinking he;s similar.

Conservatives had better wake up and fight these people who come to our party, demand we change to suit them and regardless of where they stand on taxes there are many other issues.

I've read through Rand Paul's statement in it's entirety multiple times.

Then your reading comprehension is severely compromised.......or biased. One of the two

Too late. The party is filled with libs from janitor to Speaker. There is no worse way to waste time and resource than fighting to take it back. Leave it to rot. Take that time and resource to build one we can believe in and work through.

Someone needs to make a BIG list for me so I can make it a nice pretty graphic that may actually interest some of the (almost)Conservatives to to a look and actually read and let some of this stuff sink in...

And to those who say that it is “too expensive” to ship them all out... well, just imagine how much we will be saving once they are out of our system (free school/medcare/housing/free-cheap tuition, and on ad-infinitum).

Heck.. I don’t even LIVE in the states any-more and I still have to pay taxes here AND back in the states (USA is the only country in the world that does that, btw)... So, I literally am having to pay for them too.

I am sure they could choose a state they could all meet in... and There would be enough for a BIG party.. I am SURE that the younger ones would LOVE going to party (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).

nail on head, it;s because we have a corrupt media who only puts our side down.

I;ve done this many times to Dems, usually the older Dems.

Do you think illegals should get welfare and free food?
No they answer

Do you think homosexuals shoudl marry and then get a hold of children like a family
no

do you think our military should be cut so much that we will not be number one and a super power
no, many say they have served

do you think people have a right to defend themselves and therefore get a gun
yes

do you think that students should have their tuition paid off by tax payers
no

I then ask why on earth are you voting Democrat and the answer usualy is “I;ve always voted Dem corat, my parents did before me.

I then go AARRGGHHHHH

agree, many haqve died for this country, many have given a lot to helping cnservatives and we cannot just stand by while druggies, far left kooks etc want to take the country into a cess pit because they think it;s all about them.

We need to force the party to stop giving liberal/tarians a platfrom in our primaries
