[QUOTE=Zippyjuan;6572680][QUOTE=sparebulb;6572678]Give illegals limbo status: a green card with an asterisk



Your reading comprehension sucks, Zippy.

Ron clearly means that the illegals should not be given any form of amnesty.

He has said many times that they will self-deport if we deny them services and status.

Why don't you emigrate to El Salvador or Nicaragua, Zippy.

They could use some of your genius.[/QUOTE]

A document which allows them to stay is a form of amnesty.

[QUOTE]"I believe[B] Hispanics have been used as scapegoats,[/B] to say, they're the problem instead of being a symptom maybe of a problem with the welfare state," Paul told the group. "In Nazi Germany they had to have scapegoats to blame and they turned on the Jews.

"Now there's a lot of antagonism and resentment turned just automatically on immigrants," he continued. "You say, no not immigrants, it's just illegal immigrants. I do believe in legal immigration. I want to have a provision to obey those laws. You have to understand this in the context of the economy."

Paul said he's [B]not one of those politicians who believes that "barbed-wire fences and guns on our border will solve any of our problems.[/B]" That's not, he said, the American way. And he doesn't think that a national identification card is the way to go.

What the country does need, he said, is "a much better immigration service" fed by more resources. Not that he'd "vote for extra money." But he does, he told the crowd, have a plan.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]On Trump's plan to round up and deport 15 million people:

[QUOTE]Ron Paul: How practical do you think this would be to round up 15 million people without any consideration for due process?

McAdams: You’d essentially need a police state because you’d practically have to be going to go door to door almost, because they don’t keep track of these people.

Ron Paul: I think it’s impossible.[/QUOTE]

On building a wall and controlling labor:

[QUOTE]Daniel McAdams: When we worked on immigration in your office, you were generally friendly with people who wanted some controls on the border. But we ran into terrible troubles with the extreme on [the conservative] side which wanted an authoritarian state here. They wanted "E-Verify" which means every American would have to prove he has a right to work in his own country. And then there's the wall they want.

Ron Paul: You’ll need a really efficient wall and a coast guard that goes up and down the coast blowing boats out of the water…[B]The idea of building walls around the country, I think it’s a joke. I could never take a position that we need more barbed wire to solve this problem.[/B][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]This position, of course, is consistent with Paul's usual laissez-faire positions in that it [B][B]rejects government solutions in the form of ID cards, surveillance, regulation, and walls. [/B][/B]At the same time, it calls for real reductions in government’s size and scope by reducing government controls on employment and labor, while reducing the welfare state. Limitations on citizenship are also consistent with this position since limiting citizenship (ceteris paribus) does not require an expansion of the state or intrusions in the free exercise of private property.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
