I don’t know who told you that, we need to end all immigration for at least 50 years, and see how much of our national culture and identity we can recover, before we start importing another 100 million people and their democrat voting offspring.
I’m Cajun...where is his pandering to us Cajuns?
I don’t see that.
I have something to say....
No more ILLEGALS! They must follow the same laws as the rest of us, period.
Bears repeating. Amnesty will truly be checkmate for our Republic.
Honestly! Is there no one around him to advise him when he’s jumping in the deep end?
I was open minded to him for quite some time, just kinda sitting back, reading what he had to say and all.
But for the love of all things sane, stop with this amnesty crap and quit telling me how I have to feel! Arrggg
No kidding. Paul is elevating pandering to a new level. Do you see any upside with Paul? I wonder (hope) that a significant number of his adherents at least separate themselves from liberalism and are open to real conservatism. Get them young'uns under the tent and then convert them properly.
If you like America being erased, just keep supporting the immigration that is doing it.
For crying out loud, how much better can the "education opportunities" get?!?! They can be known Illegal and attend K to 12 then get preferred tuition for college. The guys sounds like Obama!
Personal feelings aside, we have to blindly respect what God says. The Catholic church has always said this and God’s “wrath” is not something to kess with. Sojourner is the “alien”, traveler, etc.
Leviticus 19:33-34

“For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.

Psalm 137:1-9
By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our lyres. For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill!
1 Timothy 5:8
But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Luke 3:5-7
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’” He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Paul must feel that the libertarian base he inherited from his father gives him a position of dominance in energetic political support, and that he can lead both the libertarian and rino vote with his social liberalism, to beat out whoever the conservatives put up.
The Roman Catholic church has often conflated this with statism. It isn’t about statism. It’s about private charity. Let private charities help criminals all they want. But not on the taxpayer’s dime.
Man, even Illegals don't want MORE Illegals.
It's this simple. Comprehensive immigration reform STARTS with enforcement and a fence. Once that is shown to (and it will) be effective. Almost everyone will eventually go along with an amnesty.
I voted for him, I think I’ll be voting for his primary opponent if there is one.
It sure looks like D.C. is really toxic to ‘conservatives’ they keep getting sucked into the worst ideas there. Although Rand has his dad to look to as a major influence on policy ideas.
Perfect example of why we should not get behind ANYONE just on rhetoric alone. Seems like people who SOUND good at the outset end up coming up with this kind of crap. At least its not AFTER we are all stupid enough to support him for President.( not that there is much chance of their being an election)
Yeah, something like that. Not sure he has much appeal to rinos, though. I think he thinks he still has TEA Party support. Looks to me like he's losing that support, but I don't think he sees that yet.
Three different Hebrew words are translated as “foreigner” or “sojourner,” Hoffmeier explained, but the most common one, by far, is ger, which appears 160 times. Under biblical law, a ger was legally recognized and entitled to certain rights, responsibilities and social benefits. They could participate in community worship. They were expected to observe kosher dietary laws. And, they could not be charged interest.
“People who are using scripture for the undocumented immigrant are trying to credit the non-legal resident with the same rights the biblical law calls for a legal foreign resident,” he said.
So did the ancient Israelis “welcome” the Philistines and other invaders into their homes? Your analogy is beyond crazy.
Rinos will be drawn to his libertarianism on gay marriage and immigration and drugs, and the liberalism that they all share among themselves and with the democrats.
Their common enemy is the conservatives.
