Stop the BS with Paul's website and talking points. The reality is that Paul opposes both securing our borders and doing anything tha would make emplying criminal alien invaders difficult.
* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.
What flavor in the koolaid jpsb? Paul opposes building a wall, since it would be used to trap American citizens fleeing an oppressive government. How much more true this would be with thousands of troops on the border.

* No Amnesty - The Obama Administration’s 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 can’t 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, we’ll 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.
