National Review's Robert Costa reports from Washington DC that the GOPe are 'wary' of Sen. Rand Paul but are 'surprisingly open' to him
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
good... they should be
Plant story to make Paul look good LOL
because Rand Paul is pro-amnesty and probably squishy on other issues too?
I get the impression Costa hangs around the bars and speaks with GOPe. Why would he lie?
He does not support amnesty... read what he says before jumping to conclusions...
They must think that he'll 'come around' to their way of thinking at crunch time.
Wouldn't be the first time a promising candidate has left us at the altar...
of course they are-especially since Rand came out in favor of their amnesty scam.
Well. I did....I searched for and read multiple articles about what he said on the subject to the US Hispanic whatever pander group today...if you ask me, it sure sounds like he’s for it.
You need to check it out instead of clinging.
No, he did not... again you’re not reading what he said.
He wants ‘normalization’ not ‘amnesty’. They get some legal status so they can work.
What do you want him to do? round them up ?
What do you want him to do? round them up ?
Ideally? YES!... practically? I'd settle for putting any employer using illegals in prison. I'd settle for cutting them off from ALL public assistance, anything but dire emergency health stabilization, education, all that. They do not, nor have they ever belonged here. Because they are here is not a reason to say "let's normalize this"....what that is nothing but capitulation.
You know why, because at least Rand is showing something that few in the GOP have shown in recent years.....Leadership. It’s not just about where one stands on the issues, it’s about what kind of leadership qualities they have.
I have. Any sort of new “make them legal, but” status will have everything after the comma thrown out by the courts and the courts won’t even be wrong about it.
There is no in-between. They are either here illegally or they are legal and can stay or they are citizens. The way these GOPers want to do it will have the courts throw it out and leave the amnesty parts without all the bogus conditions.
The conditional crap I have read about is also unconstitutional
Does he support deportation or allowing illegals to stay pathway to citizenship or not? I read it, he supports letting them stay. That, my friend is amnesty no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The problem is that every single one of these asshats knows that rewarding these people is going to result in even more illegals crashing our borders. Looking the other way for personal political gain is inexcusable.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., the winner of the Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll for 2016 only days ago, has told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that there should be a path to citizenship for illegal aliens in the United States.
Well yes, yes I do, don't you?
Self deportation, if an illegal is against the law and facing prison for forged government documents, for lying on government forms, facing losing belongings like cars and homes that they bought while being illegally in the country (and likely forging and lying in regards to legal documents), when they face being picked up in a traffic stop and being deported within the week while their car is sold at auction and their apartment rent goes unpaid, then millions will start moving back home.
