* No Amnesty - The Obama Administrations endorsement of so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform, granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.
Paul refuses to support any laws to expell illegals. That is an operational amnesty.
* Abolish the Welfare State Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you cant have open borders and a welfare state.
All well and good, but it isn't going to happen anytime soon.You might as well posit a US with GDP/capita of $80,000 using year 2000 dollars and no year to year national debt.
* End Birthright Citizenship As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, well never be able to control our immigration problem.
I agree 100%. But why hasn't Paul mentioned this?
* Protect Lawful Immigrants As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.
We have far too many of those.
As long as our borders remain wide open, the security and safety of the American people are at stake.
And Paul doesn't actually want to secure our border lest we be East Germany.
Numbers USA does a good job of separating Ron Paul's campaign lies/rhetoric from votes.
Paul does not want a fence, he does not think a fence is a good idea. But other than the fence I’d bet you and he are in pretty much in agreement about how to secure the border.
