Trump’s the one who came out for amnesty today.

There’s already a system in place for foreign workers to do farm work for decades...

It’s now the

H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers

However, it’s not meant for the workers to permanently stay in the U.S.

Miller doing...what? I mean, you keep ducking the question of exactly what Miller can do to Paul, even in theory. Take him off the Christmas party list?

>> They’re trying to destroy Rand.

And hopefully they’ll succeed.

Screw that grandstanding SOB.

Kentucky deserves better than their two dickweed senators.

Rand doesn’t want anyone rounding them up at all, he said they should be allowed to stay:

Rand Paul opposes mass deportations, he said in January 2025 interview.

“I’ve always thought the trade-off was this: If you came here illegally, you get to work, you still don’t get to vote and you really don’t get on a track to vote. You came here illegally,” Paul told the Herald-Leader on Jan. 10. “Your punishment is you don’t have a citizenship track, but you get to stay and you get to work.

Look at the date! Jan 30, 2025. After Biden dumped untold millions of illegals into our cities, Rand says give them all amnesty.

Rand is grandstanding. Yes. Fine. There is too much money on security for his taste. Deal with it later. We have ONE SHOT at getting a handle on the insane policies of the democrat chomos and America haters. Bit the bullet and deal with it later. Right now. Pass the damned bill. I like Rand Paul. But now is not the time to hen peck over minutiae.

Trump did not come out for amnesty, he said he’s going to prioritize deportations to minimize disruption to American industries.

Rand is a Libertarian that runs on the Republican ticket. Just like Massie. I respect Rand Paul but sometimes he’s just wrong.

Yeah,

As usual, it’s all about Rand, instead of the reality, that it is really about Rand’s Bad and stupid choices.

We all know this. Trump was talking about amnesty for illegal farm and hotel workers.

Amnesty.

Nope. That’s amnesty. He said they were going to have to do something so illegals in those industries could stay.

That’s amnesty.

He did not say for how long they could stay.
And he did not say to give them any kind of amnesty.

He didn’t use the word amnesty, but what he was describing was clear amnesty. (And if 20 years of being here illegally isn’t long enough...)

Amnesty. Amnesty. Amnesty!

Rand Paul is morphing into a clown like his dad, Ron Paul. A pox upon them!

Rand was supportive during Trumps first term. Now, in Trump47 he’s decided to pull his “Maverick John McCain” act. Why? Because he is “principled”, same as that other Kentucky clown, Tom Massie.
