I am proud to be a libertarian and have no problems with immigrants. America is a nation of immigrants. I dont want them to get welfare though.

America is a nation of legal immigrants
Fixed.

BTW, it appears Senator Paul is not locked into a position of absolutely opposing citizenship for current illegal aliens.

Mixed messages: Does Rand Paul really back a ‘path to citizenship’ for illegal immigrants? Update: Looks that way


Without using the phrase, Paul appeared to confirm to reporters that he does support a path to citizenship after a probationary period.

“You have an option to get in the line, and you get a work visa if you want to work,” Paul said when asked if he supports a path to citizenship.

Paul rejected the idea of deporting undocumented immigrants or immediately giving them citizenship. Instead, he argued for a probationary status.

“The solution doesn’t have to be amnesty or deportation — a middle ground might be called probation where those who came illegally become legal through a probationary period,” Paul said.

Paul also said his team is in talks with the Gang of 8, but it isn’t the “gang of eight plus one” … yet.

Byron York notes that Paul’s plan calls for border security, verified by Congress in an annual vote, before any path to citizenship is on the table.

Back then we were a "melting pot." Now we're a "tossed salad".
