“Immigrants are drawn to the magnet of free market capitalism here in the United States”

Not they’re not, you idiot. They’re drawn here by all the “free” sh** you and your merry band of traitors keep handing them year after year.

To late Randee-Boy, you are in favor of AMNESTY for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico.

[alpo]

The only thing that is broken is the enforcement of our current laws.

[SIDENET]

Lying bastard.

[TigersEye]

Make this your policy, Rand, and no one will be able to smear you with it.

• Deport illegal aliens on contact with LE.
• Enforce the law vigorously on employers of illegals.
• Strong border security. Build the physical fence and use high-tech surveillance.
• Eliminate entitlements for illegal aliens.
• End the "anchor baby" policy.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.

Congressional Republicans will never again take a “no legalization, period” position after Obama’s landslide among Latinos in 2012.

Then the country is finished. Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here is amnesty. When you reward something, you get more of it. An amnesty will cost $6.3 trillion. So much for being a fiscal conservative.

[TomGuy]

I will only support reform that has border security first as verifiable and ascertained by Congress, not the president.

The same old canard -- border security first.

If that is 'first', it could be accomplished WITH EXISTING LAWS. So, we don't need new laws until ...

Seems to be a dead ender.

But, Paul, like many of the others, is jumping around the issue with nuances and parsing of what the meaning of amnesty really is.

Only idiots will buy his latest line of bullshit.SCREW HIM.

Isn’t Norquist an islamist?

[Busko]

They come here for the free ride of our welfare state. he needs to admit that he screwed up.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Randy Rubio Paul.

[867V309]

Rand Paul: I won't allow you to smear me by claiming that I'm for amnesty...

...I'll prove it beyond all doubt.

[chris37]

Mr. Paul, I consider you to be with the enemy.

That is all.

[Viennacon]

If he wants to maintain credibility, why hang out with Norquist at all. He’s irrelevant, a Jihad-baby, and a crony?

Paul has been more than a little duplicitous on this issue. He’ll need to personally apologize to Freepers and acknowledge his error before I trust him.

This is what the intellectual godfather of the libertarian movement said about immigration and the welfare state:

Milton Friedman: “There is no doubt that free and open immigration is the right policy in a libertarian state, but in a welfare state it is a different story: the supply of immigrants will become infinite.”

[cdcdawg]

He’s still trying to triangulate this issue! That is just slimy at this point. If you’re not for it, then step up against it. I’d think riding the fence like that would require wearing a cup. Pick a team, Rand, though it looks like you already have.

[Ray76]

>> I am for immigration reform because what we have now is untenable.

Enforce the law. Unequivocally. No talk of “reform”, just enforce existing law. If it’s “broken” how will you know what’s broken if you don’t use it?

Enforce existing law. Anything else: good bye.

[Gene Eric]

>> Republicans don’t want to because they want the border open for cheap labor

The implication that Democrats are not exploiting this labor force is absurd.

[Pelham]

Hey Rand: it just depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

None of these amnesty pimps ever want to own their own agenda.

If you won’t enforce the law, which requires foreign nationals to be deported back to their own country, then you are for amnesty.

It doesn’t matter what cute name you come up with to hide the fact. ‘Regularization’ ‘Normalization’ ‘Special Work Permit’.

It’s all bullcrap. It’s all just Amnesty by Another Name.

[Bullish]

Ok Rand, whatever you want to call it it's still de facto amnesty.
