What is Rand Paul’s position on illegal immigration?

The few times he let his guard down, he has indicated he would be 100% for Amnesty. However, knowing the politics of Conservatives, he tries to sound measured and "against" amnesty.

Rand would be a horrible candidate and a destructive President.

I have no doubt he would do little about securing the border. He would continue to allow the hoards of anti-capitalist third world scum pour across our border.

A simple thought experiment to those who think otherwise. Imagine the next President strictly securing our border, say with the military. Who do you imagine would do such? One could see Cruz or Palin. Rand, never in a million years.

Obviously you don’t know ANYTHING about Rand Paul’s positions.

Rand Paul on Immigration

“I do not support amnesty, I support legal immigration and recognize that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. However, millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our border without our knowledge and causing a clear threat to our national security. I want to work in the Senate to secure our border immediately. In addition, I support the creation of a border fence and increased border patrol capabilities.

Immigrants should meet the current requirements, which should be enforced and updated. I realize that subsidizing something creates more of it, and do not think the taxpayer should be forced to pay for welfare, medical care and other expenses for illegal immigrants. Once the subsidies for illegal immigration are removed, the problem will likely become far less common.

I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation’s security. Instead of closing military bases at home and renting space in Europe, I am open to the construction of bases to protect our border.”
