Rand Paul supports Amnesty. He wants an Amnesty bill
Rand Paul supports Amnesty. He wants an Amnesty billBut he doesn't support Senator Rubio's bill.
Even someone that's sympathetic to the cause can't swallow the poison pills in this legislative monstrosity. Which demonstrates how flawed it is.
Rand Paul isnt in a rush to pass it immediately. The gang wants it passed soon.
The whole point is to push this amnesty into next year or further. Rand Paul will start getting abuse from La Raza for not immediately forcing through an amnesty.
It is a bad move politically for Paul. Paul can only win the nomination with the Pat Buchanan wing of the party.
If it was really about the hispanic vote they would pass it in 2015 before Rand Paul runs for president. By then the shock of the Obama victory will be gone. Amnesty wont be as popular when you are trying to win PA against a white Democrat and low Phillie turnout. He needs people like Barletta who outperformed the national GOP in his district in 2008.
Rand Paul could only get a small number of Senators to support his budget which was a good idea. He wont have as much sway on the immigration issue when he only has hispandering to rely on.
