"Why can't you just admit that you and Rand favor Amnesty.

Because Rand Paul DOES NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY.

Because Rand Paul DOES NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY.

Unless his plan includes jail time and deportation for every illegal alien that has used a fake social security card or who has worked under the table and not paid taxes, then

IT IS AMNESTY!!!

Because Rand Paul DOES NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY.

By definition, Amnesty is the granting of forgiveness for crimes committed.

Illegals committed a misdemeanor crossing the border illegally. Almost all of them have committed multiple, many times over, felonies of ID Fraud.

Rand Paul's plan does nothing to deal with these crimes and refuses to enforce the pre-existing laws that describe the necessary punishments. Futhermore, to add insult to injury, his plan put them on the road to citizenship, whereby 30+ million Undocumented Democrats will be able to vote and the GOP, and much more importantly, conservatives will never have the ability to be in the majority and lead ever again.

Logically, and by definition, Rand Paul's Immigration Plan is purely and simply Amnesty.
