Is there anything in this rant that tells us exactly how we are going to deport 11 million people.

If people have a job... let’s give them work visas. It’s not that hard.

Yeah, let’s reward their asses even though they are here ILLEGALLY! After all, there’s LOTS of jobs, aren’t there?

Rewarding lawbreakers is the democrat way of doing things.

BTW, when you use the “11 million” line, rational people write you off as an idiot or a liar.

I understand why Paul was sucking up to that group, standard GOP warm and fuzzy political stuff.
He was talking to them not us:
‘I never met an immigrant who wanted free stuff from the government’, HA-HA Rand, so you dont know any immigrants?

We will have to watch closely and see what he does, like the others.
He certainly never said he will oppose any bill that includes citizenship. That is what I am looking for.
Oppose citizenship and the Dems walk away.

He says he opposes ‘amnesty’, hell, McCain and Grahamnesty say that too.

I wonder about his opposition to electronic employee checks.
Any thoughts on that?

Definitely. When are the Republicans going to wake up to the fact that their conservative base, the people who got them there in the first place, aren’t going to vote for anyone who rewards criminals?

.After an Inspector General has verified that the border is secure after year one

Yep, and Janet Napalitano says the border is now secure.

Like anyone in DC can be trusted to tell the truth.

Rand Paul is revealing his inner idiot.

I disagree. We should reward them. They can stay and work legally. They can also pay triple the income tax rate with no deductions and no access to social services from either the state or federal governments (local churches can help out, if they so choose - it’s their money). They can also be permanently ineligible for citizenship. If they are caught here without legalizing (paying the triple income tax), they will be put on a boat and dropped off at Veracruz, just like Ike did. I don’t care what country they’re from, drop them at Veracruz.

Under those conditions, open the borders - and watch nobody come in.

Actually I’m glad that paul revealed his true colors. Makes my decision to NOT support him much easier.

Who says we have to deport anyone? Cut them off from welfare, SSI, and enforce workplace verification, and they will go home on their own.

Are you kidding me? You want to wave a magic wand and make them legal? Who are you Juan McCain?

ENFORCE THE BORDER NOW!!!! MILITARIZE IT!!!! ANY ILLEGAL ENTRY WILL BE SHOT ON SITE!!!!

At least we should be putting all these drones to good use and strafe the illegals hopping across the border.

RE :”Actually I’m glad that paul revealed his true colors. Makes my decision to NOT support him much easier”

I dont ‘support’ anyone for POTUS this early. And I am pretty picky esp after the 2011 to 2012 fiasco.

Look at those fools who for 4 years were sure the momma-bear was running...... many in the MSM bought that scam too, or at least made believe they did to make $$$.(you never know)

The 2011 / 2012 primary was a parade of losers all fueled by the myth that Obama would be easy to beat by anyone. Rush for one was preaching that non-sense.

Not one of them was a strong candidate, but 'it will be easy anyway because I hate Obama'

It's easy!

FInd them, Arrest Them, and SHIP THEM THE HELL BACK!

Why did my Parents have to come through the Front door?

But these people get a free pass with all the Free Goodies!?

Oh Yes, that is right, because they are a voting Bloc the Republicans and Democrats can pander too.

Silly me, When we have protected Classes, Equal Treatment Under the law doesn't mean squat!!!

This piece doesn’t highlight Rand’s use of the term “a bipartisan congressional committee” that’s supposed to run his plan. That’s okay...there were so many bumper sticker slogans from the LEFT in his speech, it’s hard to keep track.

But the “bipartisan “ word really jumps out at me.

One, that doesn’t work and we all know it.

Two, it’s a hallmark of RINOS and Democrats.

Shocking, Rand, just shocking...

It’s always amusing when Freepers

swoon and crash,
swoon and crash,
swoon and crash

over some politician who make a grand public gesture on some great matter of principle or give a good speech with some real zingers in it and then the next week goes back to being ... a politician.

How about Rubio??

Meeting with Schumer and Durbin and Mccain and Grahamnesty to cut a immigration deal?

What could go wrong with that team?

and just to think everyone a week ago was praising him for his 12 hour filibuster stance, but now he is nothing more than the son of the nutty Ron Paul, who I have come to the conclusion is a long lost relative of Frank Perdue. Even Rand reminds me of the son of Frank Perdue. They both share the same chicken nose.

Like father

Like son...

and had she run, we’d have the first woman as president now. What is your point? We’d be on the road to recovery now, instead of the road to hell with Obama in office for another 4 years.

RE :”and had she run, we’d have the first woman as president now. What is your point? We’d be on the road to recovery now, instead of the road to hell with Obama in office for another 4 years.”

you shouldn't be blaming her for all the country's ills.

She had better things to do, attention, $$$ , FNC contracts.

The woman is allowed to have a personal life.

What imaginary candidate will you be chasing this time around?
