What do you think about Ron Paul and his stance on Immigration?
Answer:
Ron Paul is the ONLY true Conservative up there!!
not some "I just say I'm pro-life" BS artist, (hollywood lobbyist/lawyer/ACTOR)
how about a REAL conservative who VOTES his conscience, who actually PRACTICES pro life for DECADES as an anti abortion ob/gyn who's delivered over 4000 babies?
Too good for corporate puppet wanting Repubs, hah?
VOTE FOR THE ONLY TRUE CONSTITUTIONALIST CONSERVATIVE LEFT!
RON PAUL
his feet are too close together
I think Tom Tancredo would be better. He wants to stop illegal immigration also
Defeat Amnesty AND the Amnesty Politicians
Join "The Save America Campaign"
Today I am launching a campaign to stop the U.S. Senate from selling out our country by giving amnesty to over fifteen million illegal aliens - but I can't do it without your help.
Please sign the "No Amnesty" http://www.teamtancredo.com/save_america... Citizen Petition committing yourself to working with me to defeat amnesty politicians and call your Senators today and tell them you have joined the growing army of Americans dedicated to the defeat of amnesty and all those who would support it.
I like Ron Paul..Too bad he doesn't support comprehensive immigration reform...
I think Ron Paul is a decent fellow, but a bit naive when it comes to foreign policy. Isolationism doesn't work.
And you're wrong about Paul being the "ONLY candidate who is for upholding the Constitution and against illegal aliens". Duncan Hunter also recieved a 100% rating from The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
All in all I like Ron Paul (I should keep going and make a whole poem ... nah!), but his immigration stance is not why. I'm kind of ambivalent about that.
I like his opposition to capital punishment, abortion, "free trade" and an amendment that would ban gay marriage. Since he has almost no chance of winning the GOP nomination, I wish his supporters would join Unity 08 and see if they can draft him for that nomination (they would need a Democrat or independent as a running mate).

Paul is actually a libertarian, which could be either liberal or conserv.
I don't think he's the only one for serious immigration reform. Tom Tancredo has definitely been leading out on that issue, and Duncan Hunter has also done a lot of work on it. But Ron Paul has the best chance of the three, and probably the only one who has a chance to win in the general election if he gets the nomination.
I wish Hunter would drop out and endorse Paul, but I know he won't because of his pro-war stance. I think Tancredo has realized that he's not going to win the nomination and is diverting his energy to working against the bill now. I expect he would probably have a place in a Ron Paul administration, possibly to help construct a functional immigration system.
Dr. Paul was right about one thing, though, that a lot of the other anti-amnesty people don't get. The immigrants are becoming the scapegoats here. We have a terminally flawed system, and there are some unscrupulous aliens taking advantage of it, but there are also countless semi-legal immigrants who have been waiting on their paperwork for 5 and even 10 years who aren't even sure what their status is anymore. Our bureaucracy is broken, and we need to fix it. We need to enforce the laws and we need to process the documents that we have committed to.
I'm pretty upset that a good friend of mine of over 5 yrs., with a son and other family here, is in the process of being deported to Chile (he's decided to take voluntary deportation for a couple reasons, one being that he'd rather go back there than sit in gen. pop. prison with murders and rapists to get the legal issues worked out with INS). He was working on his citizenship and is a decent upstanding guy. I believe a good part of the reason why they are being rather hard (IMHO) on him is due to the illegal immigration problems the country is dealing with in general.
In any case, I'm pretty much in agreement with Paul's stance on Immigration.
And for the benefit of Dead Marxist, or anyone else for that matter, protectionism is a requisite of isolationism. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/isolationis...
Paul is rather opposed to protectionism.
