In 2008, and as far as I know in 2012, Dr. Paul's policy prescription has been that the State Department should NOT be giving student visas or work visas to terrorist-designated nations. Either they are terrorist countries or they aren't. If they are, it is insanity to allow their people into the country. Simply cutting off visas from the handful of terrorist nations is far preferable to the Bush/Obama police-state with the TSA irradiating and molesting everyone who dares travel via air.
I don’t know why you are responding to post number 8 above. That was MY interaction with another poster and has nothing to do with Ron Paul’s immigration policies towards terrorist designated countries.
I DO have an issue with him insinuating that just because someone like Bachmann wants to deal strongly with Iran because the Iranian constitution states unequivocally that their mission is to extend jihad across the world, and eventually to set up a world-wide caliphate, it somehow translates to wanting to make war with 1.2 billion Muslims and believing that all Muslims are the same.
THAT is Ron Paul himself being deceptive.
