How do you like Ron Paul's take on illegal immigration agree or disagree ?

If reading is hardship kinda skip this.We have security issues at home and our resources are running thin. Our education system is stretched, and immigration accounts for virtually all the national increase in public school enrollment in the last 2 decades. There is a worker present in 78% of immigrant households using at least one major welfare program, according to the same study. It’s no surprise then that often times these immigrants can afford to work for lower wages. They are subsidized by our government to do so.
Right now we are subsidizing a lot of illegal immigration with our robust social programs and it is an outrage that instead of coming to the United States as a land of opportunity, many come for the security guaranteed by government forced transfer payments through our welfare system. I have opposed giving federal assistance to illegal immigrants and have introduced legislation that ends this practice. In the last major House-passed immigration bill I attempted to introduce an amendment that would make illegal immigrants ineligible for any federal assistance. Unfortunately, that amendment was ruled "not relevant" to immigration reform. I believe it is very relevant to taxpayers, however, who are being taken advantage of through the welfare system. Illegal immigrants should never be eligible for public schooling, social security checks, welfare checks, free healthcare, food stamps, or any other form government assistance.
The anchor baby phenomenon has also been very problematic. Simply being born on US soil to illegal immigrant parents should not trigger automatic citizenship. This encourages many dangerous behaviors and there are many unintended consequences as a result of this blanket policy. I am against amnesty and I have introduced an amendment to the Constitution (H.J. Res 46) which will end this form of amnesty.
I have also supported the strengthening our border and increasing the number of border patrol agents. It is an outrage that our best trained border guards are sent to Iraq instead of guarding our borders. For national security, we need to give more attention to our own border which is being illegally breached every day, and yet the government shirks one of its few constitutionally mandated duties, namely to defend this country. Citizens lose twice with our current insecure border situation – we don’t have the protection we should have, and then taxpayers have to deal with the fallout in the form of overstretched public resources and loss of jobs.
The anger is understandable when it comes to illegal immigration and the problems with our borders. I will continue to fight in Congress for more effective ways to address these issues in keeping with the Constitutional mandate to protect America .http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst120207.htm

He has common sense.
We can build a wall but they will still come as long as we reward and encourage them to come.
We need to do as Ron Paul states and remove ALL of those rewards and encouragements. |

Agree. It seems like everything I hear about Ron Paul is positive. |

I like it. First and foremost it is just plain common sense.
I think that 78% of the American people would agree with his policy and if we could just get 78% of the people to vote for him problem solved.
OK maybe not solved because we still would have all of the political elites like the Dems in North Carolina who want to look the other way while they attend our colleges. Train them for jobs that it is illegal for them to have.... makes sense.
Step in the right direction. Ron Paul just makes good sense. |

sounds good. i have been reading up on him.
did you hear what north carolina is doing??? they are going to allow illegals to go to collage. we must email edwards, joe hackney and mar basnight to let them know it needs to be stopped. if illegals want an education they need to go to their own country and get it. we tax paying Americans have to pay for our kids to go to collage, and we pay out the wazoo. |

Agree 100%. |

I agree - and north carolina or any state for that matter should not allow illegals into colleges trade schools etc - if just one is a terrorist who takes a chemistry course or god forbid airplane mechanics or the list goes on and on isnt that a recipe for disaster - you would think with people always saying 9/11 never forget - that well... never forget that the plane hijackers went to school in Florida to fly and were illegal aliens |

I agree 100%. I'd vote for him . Unfortunately he won't be a Republican candidate for President and I'm not wasting my vote anymore on a third party candidate or Independent. |

I agree entirely!!! If he is also for deporting all illegals, even better!! I just hate his stance on the war. |

i like him a lot, i live in a very liberal area and they vote just for the party not for the ideas... I'm trying to broadcast him as much as i can in this area... |

I agree completely with the exception of his dig at the fine young men and women fighting in our armed forces. I do not support Ron Paul because he would immediately bring all service personnel home, undermining all of their efforts to this point. I cannot support a candidate who does not support our military and the work they are doing. |

I totally agree.... I am so glad we can have an intelligent debate about this without accusations of racism and xenephobia. It seems that the more people we offer a helping hand we are literally taking the same help away from naturalized citizens. |

While I agree with many of Ron Paul's stances fact is I just think he's far too flaky to lead this nation. |

That is why Ron Paul is the only candidate a patriotic American can vote for. |

Sure i like Rons idea on border security i know he doesnt want to build a fence and all that. But he might be right they will jsut come thru it anyway. So why not try just drying up the well first then if it comes to building a fence lets do it!! Ron may or not be our next president but the more he gets his ideas some exposure the more he will begin to make sense to the public. At least we get one thing with Ron and thats honesty. |

Sure I like what he said, but he is so far down the list of candidates that he isn't in the running. |
