I am just urging caution. I don’t agree with Paul on everything, amnesty being one, but if this is being done with Paul now, you can damn well bet that if the GOPDC bunch get wind Cruz is running, they will dig up whatever it takes to turn voters off on him too.

By the time they are done, all that will be left is Newt and Huckabee(the spoiler) to stop Jeb or Tubby. LOL

Rand Paul is just clueless on immigration. Which is a bit better than people who know better like Goodlatte or Coffman or Rubio or Jeb or Christie or Walker or Ryan. These people know more about the issue and decide to side with the Chamber. Rubio and Christie have seen first hand the cost and violence of illegals.

On immigration the immediate is congress voting against a permanent amnesty between now and 2017. I don’t think Rand Paul’s goofy policy on immigration will really convince people to vote for amnesty.

It would be funny if the establishment somehow blocked amnesty because they thought they could bash Rand Paul on the issue in the primaries.

The only possible candidates who really are against amnesty are Pat McCrory and Allen West.

A lot of people like Scott Walker but he is as stupid as Rand on immigration. He says he thinks anyone should be able to legally immigrate. What’s the limit? 2,3 or 4 million per year.

It is funny because in 2010 and 2011 he did some good things on immigration the Dems will use against him.

“And before he was elected in 2011, Paul called the federal DREAM Act, which would have permanently stopped deportations for undocumented youths brought to the country as children, the “Washington elitists’ roundabout way of giving amnesty to illegal immigrant students and undermining the rule of law.” In 2010, Paul supported Arizona’s harsh anti-immigration law, advocating for local law enforcement officials to check for legal status, one way that could land undocumented immigrants in the hands of federal immigration officials. In 2011, Paul co-sponsored legislation with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) that would end the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.”
