Rand Paul said:

“Why I’m voting no on immigration reform”

“I will be voting no on the Senate’s Gang of Eight immigration bill for one simple reason: because the legislation does not secure the border first.

The American people desperately need immigration reform. Unfortunately, this legislation does not do the job.

Of paramount concern is what to do with the 12 million people currently residing in the United States who are in legal limbo. No one is seriously contemplating they leave, but conservatives believe that normalizing their status should only follow serious efforts to secure the U.S.-Mexican border. And I’m sorry to say that the Gang of Eight’s proposal is just not serious.

Any immigration reform must expand legal immigration and the work visa program so that we don’t find another 12 million undocumented workers here a decade from now. The Gang of Eight bill actually decreases the number of visas for agricultural workers. Haven’t we seen this movie before? If work visas are less than what the market demands, the workers will come illegally — and we’re right back where we started.”

I support more agricultural work visas...with biometrics.

Anyone caught violating must be permanently expelled...after a 12 month stretch in Sheriff Joe's work camps.

And all those here illegally must be expelled after that 12 months in work camp...except the wimmins and chillins...who should be expelled immediately.

Thank you! I’m really shocked at the Paul bashing and Cruz loving on this site. IMHO Cruz is not even eligible and if you’ll notice when he’s asked on TV, he evades the question....every time.

I guess I just set myself up for a bashing, but so be it. I’ve studied the eligibility issue for 5 years and have a pretty good bead on the meaning of natural born Citizen. And triple citizenship (Cruz) is not part of it.
