he;s starting to sound mroe and mroe like his father after tat stunt which got him some fame and then he;s telling us , our party that he is the new party for us.,

No thanks, I;m, no fan of the eltiist old guard but he;s now said this , gave a present to the homosexuals, what’s next reduce the military and weaken defence, get rid of border patrol/

Sorry but over the last couple of weeks I’m turning away from him more and more and if he;s going the route of his father but more of a polished way then he;s done for me and he should join the libertarian party and go tot heir conventions

I didn't know much about Rand, though I did understand that his dad, Ron, once he didn't get the 2012 nomination, stayed on the reservation (didn't run third party to draw votes away from the Republican at the top) as a "gift" to the GOP to promote his son, Rand, who didn't appear as radical as he is.

I now realize that father and son are pretty much on the same page and I daresay that he'd not have come in at the top at CPAC, had he said he's on the same page to give us "comprehensive immigration reform!"

These are weasel words, we already have a reform plan, it's called Simpson/Mazzoli, a law put into place the last time we granted blanket Amnesty to illegal aliens.

Enforce Simpson/Mazzoli NOW, Rand, if you are honest about desiring to correct the situation we have in the U.S.

Too bad most of the folks here won’t take the time to read the entire article and instead, will jump to conclusions based on a deceiving thread title......

They already are allowed to seek legal status.

They can go back home and get at the end of the line.

I never knew him nor Rubio enough to trust either one... my gut feeling was obviously correct. After all of the BS we went through the last 2 Pres. elections, and especially after the last one, you would think people on our side would have learned by now that not everything is as it seems.

I know about uimmigration very well as I came here and I did have to go back to England to get my visa, get my green card etc.

There is a process and Paul is turing into his father or maybe he is his father but more polished and used that filibuster for publicity

I've read through Rand Paul's statement in it's entirety multiple times.

He intends to "Normalize" (Grant Amnesty for those too stupid to realize the word games he is playing, based on the Congress "Certifying the border is secure".

THis is a complete and utter sellout of the rule of law and of the conservative base.

With this action, he joins the list of Immigration Traitors that include John McCain, Lindsey Graham, John Boehnor, etc.

that was two weeks ago, he also said he was against Hagel but then voted for him so who knows where he really is but you might not lke this but for me he;s like his father more and more in these last couple of weeks, homosexuals for marriage, now this, what;s next?
Get rid of border patrol and half the military.

If so he belongs in the libertarian party not in the GOP and he needs to get rid of that R at the end of his name and he also should use their conventions and primaries in the future if this is the course he;s going

Remember when Chris Christie yelled at a heckler and so many conservatives were thrilled and convinced that he was a real conservative?

I wonder if Rand Paul is simply another Chris Christie.

Don’t forget the list of all the people haunting the threads empowering their treason.

They are every bit to blame. Aid and comfort rings a ball.

what’s nuts is that we’re using tax money to promote food stamps in Mexico for crying out loud.

Me going to America, me want me welfare and food , it;s all free, America great country, no need to work, , then we get citizenship, me bring family over, then we vote for that man who gives us all these freebies.

The American dream has changed under this socialist and we have a pansy GOP and a libertarian party who are intent to infiltrate our party and then demand we change our platform

can anyone tell me why the liberal tarians keep coming on here pretending to be conservatives and why do they want our party to change when they seem more intune with the whacky left.
Open borders,
drugs legal
sex with anything
marry anything
cut defence
weaken military

That;s the left and the only thing they don;t agree on is paying tax as they think they shoudl do anything they want but never pay tax

Liberal aterians need to understand thta of their patform was so great then they would have a big party and their own big convention.

So they can all piss off from here and spout what utter nutty views they have to each other

On the subject of illegal aliens, what can we do?

We know the government is feckless, but what can we do?

I will be hiring a landscape company for the season. I will only hire a company that uses employees and uses E-Verify. Most likely, I will end up doing the work myself but I will interview a number of firms before I give up. Maybe one of them will get the message.

I also have some home improvements I have been delaying. A deck, bathroom renovation. I will interview a number of firms. I will ask every one of them. Are your workers employees? And do you use E-Verify?

If they say yes, I can verify through the database on the NumbersUSA database.

I know I am pushing a boulder up a hill, but push I must.

Already happened in 1986. Enforce the border is the only reform needed.
