Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was first elected in 1976 but has never authored any legislation to stop illegal immigration. This has occurred despite the fact he represents Texas which has the nation’s longest border with Mexico.
He is against the E-Verify program to stop employers from hiring illegal aliens. In fact, he is against all laws prohibiting employers from hiring illegal aliens. He opposes Arizona’s get tough policies and the deportation of people who are here illegally. If a state wants open borders that is fine with him. NumbersUSA gives him an “F” rating on immigration.
When he ran for president in 1988 as a Libertarian, Paul advocated the official policy of his party. He said, “As in our country’s first 150 years, there shouldn’t be any immigration policy at all. We should welcome everyone who wants to come here and work.” At the same time he advocated the complete elimination of the Border Patrol, which he said was unconstitutional.
He has since changed his mind and now has strong rhetoric against illegal immigration on the campaign trail. This is not supported by his voting record or other actions. He claims to be against amnesty but his new book advocates it. He claims to be against birthright citizenship but his book supports it. He voted for the 2006 Secure Fence Act and claims he supports the Border Fence, but he also voted against it on numerous occasions and always says it is not needed. He claims sensors at the border are enough. He also says the military is not needed on the border, and the Border Patrol is sufficient. Some of Paul’s votes against using the military on the border include:
The Congressman was in the forefront of those who stopped the real ID program, which is not a national ID. It was designed to make sure we did not give ID’s to illegal aliens.
TOM TANCREDO SAYS PAUL IS PRO-AMNESTY
I regret having to quote WorldNetDaily, but this where former Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-CO) May 23rd article appeared. Excerpts are below.
“I served with Ron Paul in Congress for 10 years. He was a member of my Immigration Reform Caucus, and I consider him a friend. . . Unfortunately, it appears that Paul’s views on immigration have now shifted into the pro-amnesty camp. Last week, Rep. Paul released his latest book, ‘Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom.’
“One of those 50 issues is immigration, and Paul gives a more detailed explanation of his views in the book than I have ever seen before. The result is not pretty. Ron Paul’s book misrepresents the views of immigration-control advocates and then insults their motivations. He insinuates that patriotic Americans who oppose mass immigration are lazy and motivated by race. . .
“According to Paul, deporting illegal immigrants would be “incompatible with human rights.” That is an off argument for any true libertarian to make, since the protection of true human rights begins with the U.S. Constitution and our ability to enforce the rule of law.
“The truth is that we do not need to deport all illegal aliens to make them go home. If we simply prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens by using E-Verify and step up interior enforcement as Arizona, Oklahoma and other states have done, most illegal aliens will go home on their own. Paul comes out against both these policies. . . He absurdly calls the idea of fining employers for hiring illegal aliens ‘involuntary servitude.’
“Paul comes out against Arizona’s popular SB 1070 law using absurd arguments of the type normally heard only from America-hating leftists: ‘Arizona-type immigration legislation can turn out to be harmful. Being able to stop any American citizen under the vague charge of ‘suspicion’ is dangerous even more so in the age of secret prisons and a stated position of assassinating American citizens if deemed a ‘threat,’ without charges ever being made.’
“I am still scratching my head trying to figure out what supposed secret prisons and political assassinations have to do with enforcing our immigration laws. The Arizona law’s definition of ‘reasonable suspicion’ is the same standard that applies for federal immigration officials and local law enforcement for non-immigration violations, so the law does not expand police powers.
“So if we can’t enforce the law, what does Paul want to do with the 12 million illegal aliens here in this country? While he says he opposes amnesty, he argues, ‘Maybe a ‘green card’ with an asterisk could be issued.’ This ‘asterisk’ would deny them welfare and not grant them immediate ‘automatic citizenship.’ Both these qualifications are meaningless because every amnesty proposal makes illegal aliens jump through some symbolic hoops before they get amnesty. I have no idea why he has changed his position on illegal immigration, but one thing is clear: Asterisk or not, Ron Paul now supports amnesty.”
PAUL DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL ISOLATIONISTS
Many isolationists disagree with the Congressman. They agree with him that all U.S. troops should “come home,” but unlike Congressman Tancredo, they want these soldiers deployed on the border. Even if that did happen, it has been demonstrated many times it is impossible to establish perfect border security. That is why Republicans believe it is vital to clamp down on employers and eliminate the reason illegal immigrants are in the United States.
America has a 5,525 mile border with Canada, a 1,969 mile border with Mexico, and 12,383 miles of coastline. Thousands of Chinese immigrants have arrived illegally by ship. Searching every container on every ship has proven to be impossible.
The real answer is E-Verify and restrictions on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
We want those people in the party, heck we want them to get the nomination!
u mad?

No I’m in Love! with Ron Paul and you should be too. That is if you were a real patriot not hell bent upon giving Obama a second term.
"'I have some reservations about that law, but not its' intent', "
LOL, I thought you were serious there for a minute.. Good parody of a Fraud Paul cultist.
Ron Paul was a combat obgyn.
ahem, sorry, I sort of skimmed the article and misinterpreted the quoted line in my last post. Mea culpa.
Yup. You’re mad.
Step 1:
Don't build a fence an invisible high tech virtual fence is much better than a physical fence. Kind of like how pictures of food taste much better than actual food.
Note videos below to support claims of how RP supports Obama/Napolitano style virtua fence over a ‘ridiculous’ actual fence. Pfft! There's that actual fence nonsense again!

RP Doesn’t Support Border Fence

RP AGREES with Obama: Open Borders for America!
RP wants an ‘immigrant worker program!

RP wants Obama regime and Janet Napalatono’s border defense strategy.
Vicente Fox Thanks Governor RP

Step 2:
Why do we need a physical fence when were just going to allow for a guest a worker program to suppress American wages.
Wouldn't we be wasting money doing that, listen amigos in this economy we can't be wasting that kind of dinero.
Step 3:
Offer in residence tuition rates and access to taxpayer funded scholarship programs to illegals so that they can increase their earning potential allowing them to further help out Americans by taking the jobs that American just don't want.
Well so is Perry.
He is for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
He is against AZ1070.
He is Against a Border wall/fence.
He is against E-Verify.
So I expect that Perry supporters will be honest about their candidate and admit his flaws on these matters.
Yep a fraud Paul cultist that’s exactly whom I’m impersonating....
:)
Yep, that is probably Perry’s biggest wart out of all his warts.
I don’t think Perry is for legalizing pot and cutting off aid to Isreal like Paul is.......
Oh, that was hilarious!
