First, let's address this "illegal" immigration nonsense once and for all:
It is not illegal to enter the United States nor be in the United States without papers. It is a civil violation of the law, not a crime and is controlled by civil statutes in Title 8 of the United States Code. To call someone an "illegal" alien is a misnomer AND it is antithetical to the fundamental principles of Freedom and Liberty.
My second point is one already made on this board. There are no statutes to abide by wherein many people can come to the United States and work a job. Jobs belong to the employer that creates them. One need not be a citizen in order to work a job willingly offered. So, we desperately need a Guest Worker program.
Finally, NumbersUSA is one of many non-profit entities started by John Tanton. Tanton is, always has been and probably always be affiliated with the racist right. Unfortunately, most of the research done to expose Tanton comes from the extreme left, so nobody cares for the truth, but here it is, just for your consideration:

So little is available about the subject of immigration, so the xenophobes seem to have a stranglehold on the subject, having the power to destroy anyone that would question the status quo. Hopefully, Ron Paul will stand up for what is right on this issue and not let the racists goad him into supporting a Police State under the presupposition that a militarized border makes us a nation.
