From the horse's mouth - Rand Paul on Immigration (official senate web page)

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.

Immigrants should meet the current requirements, which should be enforced and updated. I realize that subsidizing something creates more of it, and do not think the taxpayer should be forced to pay for welfare, medical care and other expenses for illegal immigrants. Once the subsidies for illegal immigration are removed, the problem will likely become far less common.

I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation's security. Instead of closing military bases at home and renting space in Europe, I am open to the construction of bases to protect our border.

What a weak border security, amnesty wimp.

Must I use the /sarc tag?

Nice post, however, it lacks the facts where Rand Paul is concerned.

He wants to LEGALIZE 2 million Undocumented Democrats, each and every year, based on a “Certification” from a US Congress that is already half(Democrats) thinking that the border is secure right now.

That is what we call Amnesty no matter how often Rand Paul throws around the words “Secure” and “Border” in the same sentence or paragraph.

This is the same thing as McCain spouting this “Secure Border” nonsense, just another flavor of it.

At the end of the day, all of Rand Pauls pretty words notwithstanding, his policy STILL GRANTS AMNESTY to 2 million Illegal Aliens, each and every year, by making them legal.

He is lying to you.
