...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]

Rand Paul -- "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors".

Rand Paul along with 90% of the stupid party GOP leadership apparently think that the 12 million (more like 20 million actually) are going to vote Republican after getting DemoRAT registration forms & tons of free stuff from the demoRATs? I think even Ted Cruz is in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens (I don't call the illegals to be immigrants...they are illegal aliens.

Our country is screwed because of demoRAT traitors, Republican traitors, a communist/muzlim 0dumb0 as president & a thoroughly corrupt judicial branch.

We need a great, massive, bloody Civil War... maybe we (conservatives) will end up with our own country and be rid of the liberals & leftists for at least another 3-4 generations.
