Party planks do not represent individual policy. This is true for Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians.

Ron Paul for example, “ “No amnesty,” “No welfare to illegal aliens. End birthright citizenship. No more student visas from terrorist nations.”

Well duh, is the response to the first part, no platform can fit 80 million people perfectly but when a party’s entire history is pushing a determined position, then believe it.

As far as the professional politician Ron Paul, nothing he said disagrees with the party platform and post 16.

Ron Paul’s views in that quote are actually closer to the current Libertarian Party plank than the current Republican Party plank.

The section of text that ansel12 posted is old. That is not what it says here…

I will assume it was just an honest mistake on his part.
