U.S. Senator Rand Paul was discussing several issues in a hallway interview January 18th, beginning with immigration: "Then I think there are some things we could accomodate people with, for example the eleven million are never going home - don't need to be sent home. And I would incorporate them into our society by giving them work visas and making them taxpayers. But I wouldn't do that until I secure the border. Because if you do it now, everybody else says, 'hey I can come and they'll just do the same thing for me.' You have to make sure the way you do it is in an orderly fashion, so you dont send the wrong signal."

I wonder if Rand and his daddy go at it privately about this stuff.

Ron Paul said many times that closing the border with force or deporting people was wrong. He also opposed attempts to separate out verified citizens from illegals through enhanced ID mechanisms. I don't remember for sure, but I think he opposed going after employers, too.
I resonated with Ron Paul's message of liberty because I believed it would equalize the playing field. I'm done with that approach now. No more wasted effort on libertarians and anarchists.
Fundamentally, they reject preferences for race and ethnicity as aspects of liberty.

You're right about rons positions. Yet somehow, they seemed more palatable coming from him than his sellout son.

For me it was because Ron tied it in to an all encompassing approach of ending the welfare state, especially corporate welfare. I could tolerate immigration if it were a sink-or-swim proposition, but this garbage of allowing business to hire low wage workers while forcing the rest of us subsidize their living expenses is just evil.

Rand Paul is involved with union-busting, so it fits that he wants to pressure wages downward. Jew and Fat Cat "capitalist" money go a long way in DC.

If he were to go after SEIU and the public sector unions, I would be all for it; but given his track record I'm guessing you mean real unions like UAW and Teamsters.

Rand hates unions, all except the one he belongs to.
His union is enforced by Federal and State government that only those they decide may practice medicine.
On the Senate floor, Paul said that doctors have the RIGHT to make a lot of money.
However, the working man has NO rights.
