I am not a decided Ron Paul supporter, but I would rather not have his record or ideas misrepresented by people who are overly emotional and ignorant. (Hint. Hint.)
The following represents Dr. Paul's stance on border control and immigration. He is not weak in this area as you would like to present him:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.
“I don’t think you’ll find Ron Paul disagreeing with our use of force against the Barbary Pirates or against the Taliban. Since you’ve cheapened the level of discourse with your “pet retard” remarks I doubt you have the mental and emoitonal stability to rationally address the issues in the first place.”
Oh like YOU address the issues? ROFLMAO....Wow you’re funnier than david letterman.
“I am not a decided Ron Paul supporter”
Pardon me while I put my hip boots on.
“but I would rather not have his record or ideas misrepresented by people who are overly emotional and ignorant.”
As opposed to the lying and ignorant who support him?
His record is quite CLEAR, and it CONTRADICTS the whitewashed BS that he’s spoon feeding to people like you.
Time and time again he has voted AGAINST putting troops on the border even though he says that “We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country”
He says whatever it takes, yet he’s against troops on the border. In other words he lied since it’s obvious that he’s not willing to do “whatever it takes”.
