“As we speak” is just a form of speech. Here he is just last week:

Why Rand Paul could be key player on immigration
Sen. Rand Paul hopes to attract conservatives to immigration reform by requiring annual certification of border security for five years before any undocumented immigrants could be granted legal status.
Again, we don’t need or want any new immigration laws. Just do your duty and enforce the laws already on the books. Anything less is a gift to the liberty hating democrats and turncoat McGOP-e!! The demoncrats have absolutely zero intention of EVER securing the borders regardless of any surrender by the treasonous, idiotic gang of eight plus one, (McPaul) and possibly two (McRyan).
Paul is naively and willingly riding the McCain/McGrahamesty/McRubio/McFlake train to tens of million new Mexican Democrat voters in America!!
STOP THE MADNESS!! NO “LEGAL” STATUS, EVER!!
From the linked article:
Sen. Rand Paul (R) of Kentucky hasn’t been a major part of the immigration reform debate to this point.
But as the Senate begins to put a bipartisan immigration reform bill through the legislative process, he may be the chairman of what could be called the Getting to Yes Caucus: deeply conservative lawmakers who want to tweak the bill in order to bring more conservative support, not battering the measure with poison pill amendments in an effort to kill it.
“I am for immigration reform, I am for finding a place for those who are in our country, whether documented or undocumented, finding a place for them if they want to work,” said Senator Paul at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor on Wednesday.

Paul acknowledged there are some in his party who simply won’t be won over. One of those deeply opposed to the current immigration reform effort made his stance clear just hours after Paul spoke.
“As we explore [the bill’s] many flaws and loopholes in the coming days, I am confident the American public will firmly reject it,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions (R) of Alabama in a statement.
Despite intractable opposition from those like Senator Sessions, Paul believes a convincing package of border security proposals could bring a larger group of Republican lawmakers into voting for a comprehensive fix to the immigration system.
Er, Senator Paul, the immigration system is not broken. That’s the same line of crap they put out about our healthcare system during the FUBO Marxist healthcare “debate.”
The liberal/liberaltarian/RINO view of immigration policy is what is broken.
NO AMNESTY!! NO OPEN BORDERS.
Just ENFORCE THE LAW and we will be fine!!
