Paul suggests what steps he thinks lawmakers should take to address illegal immigration on his campaign website:

I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation's security. I will work to secure our borders immediately. My plans include an underground electric fence, with helicopter stations to respond quickly to breaches of the border.

Mrs. Christian_Capitalist, my half-Mexican esposa Proverbios treinta y uno, supports Rand Paul for US Senate -- and says you should too!

Rand Paul bumpity-bump.

This issue is a winner. More should adopt this stance. It’s been sitting there waiting for suitors.

I support such an amendment as well.

A-MEN ! ! !

Thanks, I agree! I also like his stance in favor of making English the official language of all documents and contracts. Heck, English is my wife's second language, and she supports that -- "People in the same country have to be able to talk to eachother!"

You don't say? You don't say? You don't say? You don't say?

Just messin' with you...

This is the right way to do it.

Now accepting wagers on the arrival time of the first salvo of rabid Paulphobics, demonstrating their Tourrete's Syndrome by shouting "Paultards" and "Paulbots"...

I'll start the wager at $1 for "Within 60 seconds"...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I don’t agree. It would require an amendment to the Constitution.

I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

Since the Founding Fathers didn't see fit to do that, far be it from me to go against them.

I'm thinking that this is some kind of conspiracy to make me like this guy. He keeps saying things that both make sense and cause the liberal's heads to explode. His dad freaks me out, but Rand Paul seems to be a little more grounded. I guess that makes me a recovering Paulphobic.

[GonzoGOP]

I knew it was a conspiracy. The grays have replaced him with some kind of PaulClone. Now where's my tinfoil fedora?

Has Dr. Rand Paul Been Abducted by Aliens?

[CPT Clay]

Yes!

(Shrugs) I'm not talking about a Constitutional Amendment. Just a Congressional Law.

[Christian_Capitalist]

I don’t agree. It would require an amendment to the Constitution.

Which Rand Paul supports -- IF AND ONLY IF Court challenges fail.

Paul thinks that the Courts should re-visit the question of whether or not illegal aliens are legally "under the jurisdiction of the United States", per the 14th Amendment, and I agree with him.
