“Ron Paul is against illegal immigration. He takes a very strong position on this.”

I understand that Ron Paul is famous for voting against spending on activities that are not expressly authorized by the Constitution. Now I have two questions for you:

What exactly in the Constitution provides any power to the federal government to act against illegal immigration?

How does a staunch defender of the Constitution as Ron Paul justify spending resources on activities not expressly and specifically authorized by the Constitution?

I nominate this comment for the all time stupidest thing ever posted on Free Republic.

[Equality 7-2521]

I believe it would be Article 1, Section 8: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization...

or perhaps

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.
