By ‘more legal immigration’ I take it that Paul is calling for increased legal immigration, which is idiotic.
For one thing, the vast majority Americans oppose increasing legal immigration, so it shows Paul to be just another elitist when it comes to immigration. Fortunately for him, the media will not inform the public about legislation that would increase legal immigration, like Schumer-Rubio.
For another thing, an increase in legal immigration is likely an increase in future Democrats. Paul is clueless if he thinks small government conservatism appeals to most Hispanics and other immigrant groups.
And finally, if Paul thinks such a position will offer him some protection from the usual baseless charges of racism and of being anti-this or anti-that, then he is an idiot.
It’s unfortunate that Paul has seemingly bought into libertarians’ insane suicidal embrace of mass legal immigration. It’s disappointing because he has me other comments in the past that suggested he might have a clue about immigration. He once suggested that any legalization of illegal aliens be paired with a moratorium or reduction in legal immigration. And after the Boston marathon bombing he was one of the few to question the policies that allowed garbage like the bombers into the country in the first place.
That was apparently false promise.
Thanks Aetius.
