I don’t want a new pathway,” Paul said, noting that the “same pathway” would give a “better chance of passing immigration reform.” He added, "It’s important for conservatives that it’s no new pathway to citizenship,” Paul said, proposing that workers get a work visa and go to the back of the line like someone in Mexico City. “Get in the same line."
All of that is empty rhetoric until Rand Paul drops the Amnesty("Normalization") part of his Immigration Reform.
Conservatives do not invalidate the rule of law.
Conservatives do not reward law-breakers, including the millions of Undocumented Democrats who have committed ID Fraud (Felonies) with Amnesty.
Conservatives do not put their own political career before the health and welfare of this country, this Democratic Republican system.
Conservatives do not put their short-term political ambitions (Desire to be President) before the long-term survival of their party and their country and mark my words, granting Amnesty, even if it is legalizing the illegals and removing all obstacles to them becoming citizens, 30 million+ undocumented Democrats is the path to suicide for the GOP and this country.
And with respect to your constant harping on how he wants to secure the border, this is just more smoke and mirrors and term re-definition on the part of Rand Paul.
Granting Amnesty to 2 million Undocumented Democrats based on a "Certification" of a Congress comprised of roughly 50% Democrats who already feel the border is secure and another 25% RINOS who would do or say anything to grant Amnesty IS NOT SECURING THE BORDER!
Immigrants More Likely to Identify as Liberal, Put International Law Over Constitution
Here is the reason that Amnesty, whether it be called Immigration Reform, Normalization, or any other weasel word or phrase must not be allowed to win!
This is the reason that any politician who is supporting this concept at any level MUST BE CONSIDERED A TRAITOR TO OUR CAUSE!
I am just telling you what his position is, I understand you do not like his position, but I see it as vastly better then the gang of 8. The key is enforcement, Paul puts enforcement on the front end, not the back end like the gang of 8. No enforcement no “normalization”. And thank Bush, Clinton, Bush + Obama for the problem we now face. At least Paul is serious about fixing the problem. Unlike W who everyone here thinks was so great.
