And what about you? Are you pro-boehner, pro-obama or pro-amnesty?

Well, we already know that Rand Paul is pro-amnesty.

What was that you were saying again?

He does not care. IF Amnesty is passed there is no going back and he walks away
untarnished financially while the rest of us try to survive the collapse. And we
end up with what they want, one party Rule with Socialists in charge..

FIRE BOEHNER, NOW! Before it's to late or America dies.

He doesn't have his own plan. It's a different version with the same damn result.
It's the same response the Repubs always have with Democrat motives "We can do worse better".

I just don’t get it. Seriously.

It’s like Romney thinking replacing an non-Constitutional Health Care plan known as Obamacare, with a non-Constitutional Health Care plan known as Romneycare, was going to be okay with Conservatives.

Rand has the same problem. You legalize 20-35 million people over time anyway, with his plan.

We don’t want them to become legal residents here. They need to be repatriated back to their home country.

They do not belong here. It’s not all that complex. The answer for Rand’s plan as well as any other plan is..., NO!

No! No! No! No! No!

>> He’s a demagogue.

Or a lying POS... an idiot that blew a slim opportunity.

How many nationally recognized political figures adhere to standards worth respecting? Two?

Yep, I heard this....or snippets of it or something very similar....didn’t like it one damned bit. Pretty much turned me off RP.

I’m with you. We don’t want them, nor do we need them. They do not belong there.

If it comes to paying more for lettuce or strawberries or having to cut our own grass, I’d gladly do that if it meant my area schools wouldn’t be inundated with illiterate illegal children, my area hospital emergency rooms mobbed by illegals using it as a GP, my area jails overcrowded with illegal DUIs, rapists, thieves, etc.

I found Steve King’s opening statement in 2010 on the immigration committee. The whole thing is gold.

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-111hhrg58410/html/CHRG-111hhrg58410.htm

“You know, I think about the day that I had to
swim out into a sewer lagoon and dive into 9 feet of fluid to retrieve a pump. And when I think about the day that it was 20 below and I am in the water fixing a waterline, and the warmest place there was in the water. The work I have done in my life in the construction business and the work that we have put our workers through in and the pride with which they take means that it is an insult to me to hear that Americans won’t do this work.”

” The thought that comes to mind as I listened to your
opening statement is I wonder how the Eskimos got along all
those centuries without fresh fruit and vegetables if it is a national security issue.”

“Highly respected agriculture economist Phillip Martin of
the University of California notes that if there was a 40
percent increase in farm wages, the average household would
spend only $8 more a year on fruits and vegetables, less than the price of a movie ticket. I am sure that most Americans would gladly pay $8 more a year in order to ensure a legal workforce.
Cheap labor is just not worth illegal immigration’s cost to Americans as workers or as taxpayers.”

“If we did, we would realize that every day, American workers perform the dirtiest, most difficult,
most dangerous jobs that can be thrown at them, from crab
fishermen who venture out into some of the most roughest and most dangerous waters in the world, to the Joe the Plumbers of the world who many days would prefer the aroma of fresh dirt to that of the sewage from American elitists who disparage them even as they flush.”
