Okay, but Ron Paul does not support Open Borders.

Sheesh, are YOU ever naive!!! This is Free Republic, where anything less than building a new Maginot Line and expelling 12 million plus illegals is "open borders." Get with the program. Oh yeah, anything that does not expel all immigrants here illegally is "amnesty".... whoops, "shamnesty." The idea that someone might pay a fine in the process of becoming illegal is just too difficult a concept to get into the blocks of wood substituting for heads around these parts.

Ron Paul is actually more critical of legal immigration (at least, immigration in large numbers) than I generally advocate (I'm all for a responsible LEGAL immigration policy), but I definitely agree with his votes for a security fence and more border security.

I don't have all the answers on the immigration question, but the Libertarian Party is unambiguous in its support for open immigration. The Libertarians would let a billion Chinese come to the US.

"The idea that someone might pay a fine in the process of becoming illegal is just too difficult a concept to get into the blocks of wood substituting for heads around these parts"

I just read an article by Ron Paul in which he decries the above and calls it Amnesty.
