In his prepared text for a speech he is delivering today at the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, Sen. Rand Paul (R.-Ky.) said to illegal aliens who want to live and work in the United States: “[W]e will find a place for you.”
Paul also said he envisions today’s illegal aliens becoming additional “taxpayers.”
“Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers,” said Paul.

What Rand Paul is admitting is that there are currently 12 Milliom people in America who are felony tax evaders. And he wants to grant them amnesty and welcome them into this nation.
Maybe the remaining 288 million people living in the US should just join the ranks of the illegal aliens and stop paying taxes and take on false identities. Maybe after 20 Years they will grant all of us amnesty.
12 million? Don’t they get to bring 10 of their closest family members each?
Both Rand and some of the commenters are missing a huge point on this. Many of the illegals are already tax payers....and yet many others will never be. (note, tax payer and tax filer are different...but many have withholdings taken out each week).
What do you think of Ted Cruz?
“Rand Paul was a ray of hope that we could turn this country around. That hope is gone.”
If you had been paying attention then you would know that hope was never their. Rand Paul is just horrible.
Just another FU from the beltway GOP to Main Street. We are not the problem.
Rand says nothing about Democrats refusing to enforce the law. Nothing about Big Business wanting slaves. He even adopts the the language of the left. Total surrender.
This is bill not reform. This is amnesty and a candy store of goodies for corporate donors. All at the expense of low and middle income CITIZENS. That hardly anyone inside the belway will speak that truth plainly shows how lost this country has become.
Entry level jobs proportionally are by youth, illegals will take these now because they are not covered under obamacare and the youth (some minorities) unemployment will skyrocket.
Very disappointed in Rand Paul, but this has been his father’s position for years so not surprised.
“[W]e will find a place for you.”
No matter how many taxpayers we have to rob and push out of the way.
Just another GOP traitor to the Constitution. He’ll never get my vote.
Only if the current system is dismantled and replaced with a consumption tax that everyone, and I mean everyone, in this country pays on everything. No waivers and no excuses. It doesn’t matter how poor you are or how many children you have. You pay the consumption tax or you don’t consume.
Entry level jobs proportionally are by youth, illegals will take these now because they are not covered under obamacare and the youth (some minorities) unemployment will skyrocket.
I know that from personal experience in California. Hispanic managers hire other Hispanic workers. All it takes is one Hispanic manager in a fast food joint who clears out the blacks/anglos and hires his people. Many places I frequented in CA had that happen.
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are the only real American in the US Senate.
Those who voted for this Amnesty bill are not representing the United States, but are all the representatives of Mexico.
Unfortunately this bill is doomed to pass. Boehner is on board with getting it passed in time for the Fourth of July.
What difference will it make...those in power will find a way to piss away every cent of additional revenue genereated by the taxes...and then some
It has been proven over and over again that because of their low educations and low wages even if they work they are net tax takers. These politicians are idiots.
Only in your dreams, a$$hole!
Ted Cruz is the last bastion of hope. If he caves, then we are truly lost.
Might as well learn French and move to Canada!
Let’s wait until he gives the speech...
???
This source says he gave the speech and the posted text is from what he said.
But Rand is wrong....many illegals have taxes witheld already. They have the paperwork and the fake ssn....
