"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Rand Paul Doesn't like E-Verify Ping!

OPPOSING E-VERIFY TO KEEP ILLEGAL ALIENS OUT OF JOBS

In one way, Rand Paul's plan is far more radical and pro-illegal-immigration than anything proposed by Pres. Obama or the Gang of Eight, both of whom are at least promising workplace verification to cut off the jobs magnet that has created the giant illegal-alien population in the first place.

My plan . . . will also not have mandatory E-Verify. I don't mind if there's E-Verify, maybe related to the tax code somehow, but I don't like the idea of making every business owner a policeman.

How radical is this idea of not having business owners responsible for avoiding hiring illegal aliens? Well, business responsibility was about the only thing that was given in return for the first (and supposedly last) amnesty in 1986. Sen. Paul today seemed to say that the only thing that should stand from the 1986 compromise was the amnesty itself.

These recent terror events should slow down the Immigration Decree.

FURP!! NO AMNESTY!! Secure the borders!! Announce to the illegals already here to get out now because it’s only going to get rougher for them as we deny them welfare, foodstamps, healthcare, free lunch, and JOBS!! Penalize the employers arrest the perps who knowingly or repeated hire the illegals, esp those who pay them in cash or under the table. Do this and they will self-deport.

Because of Paul’s libertarian ideology I’m not surprised that he has become a key proponent of amnesty.

However, I don’t support E-Verify either. The idea of a government database with everyone in it alone should appall any lover of liberty. Add to that the fact that every American will be forced to get permission from the bureaucrats in charge of said database to earn their daily bread and you have something that resembles the Soviet Union more than the United States of America.

“but I don’t like the idea of making every business owner a policeman.”

E-Verify is what keeps the employer from having to make a decision and become a judge or policeman, it is also what protects the employer from our legal system.

Rand paul is more of a Libertarian elevating a false freedom over protection of legal American residents whose jobs and tax dollars are being stolen by illegal invaders. Shame. We need mandatory everify with really punitive sanctions on immoral employers.

Speak up Americans or your country will belong to the invaders.

Rand could have been an inspiration, instead he’s just going to be another sell out republican. Has Norquist got pictures of all these guys with TJ donkeys or what??

Ron Paul for president. Woo! Wooo!
