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...

We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]

One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v.

New taxpayers? Apparently someone doesn’t know how American statism works. Unmarried couples with kids GET massive amounts of money for filing taxes.

"Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...Please, I am asking the both of you and all on this forum, How many years can you recall the 12 million figure thrown out at us? To me, it is more funny than Lucy with the football.
Well, not really. It is too serious to be funny. The populations in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico exceed that number and have for years. If the traitors pass this amnesty the Republic as we know it is over.
Why do yall think all these scandals are allowed to come out at the same time? Just look at who's out front trying get hit the scandals and look who is behind the scenes with the amnesty scandal. May they rot in hell.

RE :”
[Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform]” I am well aware of Rand Paul sucking up to Hispanics by sweet talking amnesty crap to them but right now Rand is not behind closed doors making deals with Schumer and plotting on what to say to get this amnesty bill to Obama’s desk, like Rubio is.
Rubio is the immediate problem. He is right now out there baldfaced lying about this Democrat bill to get Republicans behind it. Rand appears to have already rejected it
