That is just sick! There are seniors- legal citizens, and disabled people who don’t get 1/3 of that and struggle every day just to make it-

I read that some welfare people get as much as $45,000 a year by gaming the system and getting every last government benefit they can get- I know disabled people who are legal citizens, who through no fault of their own, became disabled, but yet who only get approximately $8000 a year- Something is friggin wrong when an ILLEGAL ALIEN can get upwards of $45,000 a year while legal citizens who are disabled get as little as $8000 a year- Some elderly and disabled don’t even get poverty level amount- I think poverty level is around $13000 a year for a single person- yet ILLEGALS are getting upwards of $45,000 a year?

Funny how the government can find all kinds of money for ILLEGALS here In this country, AND for TERRORISTS overseas, but they can’t seem to find any for our most vulnerable and needy LEGAL citizens here-

Tancredo and Buchanan...those are the only two I’d vote for at this point.

They will NEVER be made to pay any kind of penalty, and even if asked, they would simply refuse. These are lawbreakers, people who have zero respect for our laws. These are people who have been coddled and pandered to. Who honestly believes they’ll ever be made to pay anything?

It’s like with Reagan’s amnesty, when supposedly it was going to be coupled with increased border security. Our so-called “leaders” eagerly granted the amnesty, but the increased border security never happened. They keep dangling these carrots in front of us so we’ll agree to amnesty, but then the promises of crackdowns are never fulfilled. And we fall for it again and again!

“First and foremost, you have to secure that border, or none of these plans make any sense.” Which is why I agree with him.

Which is why I do not agree with him, even if the borders are secured, none of these plans still do not make any sense.

1.  Secure the border while simultaneously enforcing the laws already on the books.

2.  Leave it at that.

Exactly right.
We have no obligation to get illegal aliens out of the legal pickle they themselves got themselves into.
If they want to be citizens, they can go home and apply, wait their turn and comply with the laws.
Most of our politicians are tripping over themselves to accomodate Fraudulently Documented Foreigners by changing the laws.

I think we are saying the same thing, just differently.

Or to put it another way, SECURE the border first, or nothing else matters.

So...Walker was for the illegals before he was against them. Could it be because he’s running for president? /s

Typical GOPer. Run to the right in the primary, then run to the middle in the general.

I’m sorry, but this is not what we need in a president at this critical moment in our history.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...
