Wouldn’t “reforming” the current hole filled system to have fewer holes still be “reform”?

So, you approve of the CURRENT system.

IOW... You just don’t like Rand and will say anything, even if it make you sound like an idiot.

My Senator Ted Cruz supports immigration reform he is an amnesty lover too? Both Cruz and Paul want two things secure the border and enforce the laws with no new pathway to citizenship. Paul will allow some illegals to stay in country on a work visa, if you want to call that amnesty well ok it is a kindof amnesty but that is not what most people think amnesty means when talking about illegal immigration.

Why is this so difficult? Drones should be used in the same way that a cop uses his gun. If someone is in imminent danger then deadly force (whether from a gun or from a drone) is allowed. If no one is in imminent danger then you may not use deadly force.

Pretty simple to me.

LA Times

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul is calling for conservatives to embrace the cause of immigration reform, outlining a proposal that would grant some form of legal status to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants after the federal government has certified that the border is secure...

What did he say in the letter to Reid that you object to? Seriously I can’t find anything in the letter that I don’t agree with.

Cruz has said “secure the border”, did Paul say those words?

He took the time to write a letter but didn’t bother to mention enforcing current law or the dangers of illegal immigration.

Amnesty is allowing law breakers to get away with their crime. Kinda simple

I do not support amnesty, I support legal immigration and recognize that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. However, millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our border without our knowledge and causing a clear threat to our national security. I want to work in the Senate to secure our border immediately. In addition, I support the creation of a border fence and increased border patrol capabilities.

I guess all you people that do not want to secure the border and enforce the laws are very happy about the way things are now. Because the Marxist Rats are very very happy about the way things are now.

Some people think any solution other then deport them all is amnesty. Deport them all is fine with me, in fact it is my preferred solution in most cases. But given a Marxist media and a powerful Marxist political party (Democrats) deport them all is not going to happen. The best we can hope for is something like what Paul outlined, but I doubt the commies would ever let a Paul immigration bill onto the Senate floor. The GOP under Bush1 and Bush2 had the opportunty to enforce immigration laws and didn’t. If you want to look for a GOP villain on immigration look at Bush1 and Bush2.

Nope. I invited you to come talk to me face to face. This was after you said I needed to be killed.

Conservatives are starting to nit-pick their peers and their leaders to absolute death.

It's like two Greek guys sitting in an outdoor cafe over coffee for hours on end every afternoon arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin....while their country's economy is crashing down around their caffein-addled heads.

If Paul, Palin, Bachman, Rush, etal let slip a garbled, unintentional or questionable semantic mystery once in a blue moon, I don't abandon them. They'll clear it up sooner or later.

Should they CONTINUE on the same questionable path, however, I'd call them out....and more!

Cut off their welfare and close the borders, like Rand wants to do, and they’ll deport themselves.

The only ones jumping through the hoops to stay here are the ones we want to keep anyway...

Did you even READ the quote, or are you just mouthing off? Certainly I want the border secure, but I do NOT want the illegals in to stay, that’s the problem with Rand’s idea. Unless he did not say what he meant to say.

Exactly correct, that was the only thing Romney got right in his campaign and the only reason I voted for him.
