"It could be argued that (this system) may well allow some immigrants who come here illegally a beneficial status without automatic citizenship or tax-supported benefits -- a much better option than deportation," Rep. Paul writes on page 156.
 
 In a word, no. 
 
 No nation can be successful if it allows unbridled immigration. 
 
 Here's the basic fact folks: The land upon which this nation rests belongs to you and I as citizens. That is, the "United States", as a collective, belongs to the citizens of the country. Each and every person who we allow to come into this nation adds to the "divisor" of people that have an indivisible claim on the resources of this nation.

    So what?
 Ron Paul is for the Constitution, and if you are against Ron Paul, then you are obviously a RINO loving statist.

    Since my support for RP was already at 0%, this changes nothing.

    LEGAL = GOOD
 ILLEGAL = BAD
 
 Why is that so difficult?

    More from the same report:
  - He earns a B on immigration for his congressional actions over his career. 
 - Requiring businesses to verify the legality of workers is a form of "compulsory servitude," he writes. He says the federal government -- not businesses -- should keep illegal aliens out. 
 
 Doesn't seem "unbridled" to me!

 Insisting on Federal enforcement while promoting a legal loophole the size of Texas for illegals seems "unbridled" to me!

    The only purported candidate scoring worse than Ron Paul (who gets an F) on the NumbersUSA.com scorecard is Obummer at F-.
Gingrich, Trump, and Palin get a D-, Willard and the Huckster get a D, Cain gets a D+, Pawlenty a C+, and Bachmann has the highest grade at B-.
I will not vote for another Bush/McCain open borders/amnesty candidate.

    He’s gotten confused in his old age. He used to be a constitutionalist - which involves a Federal government that protects the border from foreign invasion. He used to know that.
He has fallen into the libertarian rabbit hole of stupid. That is a shame.
