FU Penn

[4RP08inKCMO]

Penn has at least one valid criticism of Ron Paul's platform -- the border fence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ron Paul support the installation of a fence along the US/Mexico border?

I can't recall Ron Paul ever saying specifically that he supports a border fence, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me if he has. Can anyone find a video/article where he discusses a border fence?

One part of his platform is to physically secure the border. I don't know if he means a fence by this but I do know he is saying that if we are so worried about our borders, why are we taking National Guardsman away from protecting the border and sending them to Iraq?

So Ron Paul supports no amnesty, no welfare, enforcing visa rules, and ending birthright citizenship but I think he would say that building a fence along the Mexican border is not worth the price in blood and treasure.

Ron Paul supported the bill that bought the border fence because he liked the other provisions in the bill.

I think the fence is stupid, and Bullshit! showed how illegals could get thru in a few minutes.

If you're a Constitutionalist, then you should be against the feds enforcing the border.

Ron is correct when he says to get rid of the benefits attracting illegals. Those are federal mandates and we should get rid of them for everyone. But if you are trying to be a consistent, limited government Constitutionalist, then the feds building a fence or providing border guards or rounding up illegals who have committed no federal crime (at least one that's constitutional) is unconstitutional.

Want to change it? Amend the Constitution. But like the drug laws, people seem to trust the jack booted thugs of the federal government when they're doing something we approve of. But let the BATF raid a gun shop for no reason and we're right back to not trusting them. So, which is it?

Me? I don't like the drug laws. And I don't like the feds trampling states right. And I don't like the feds usurping the power to control or not control immigration.

Ron did vote for an anti-amnesty bill that also had something for a border fence in it but he says he didn't like the fence part of the bill.

In this interview with John Stossel Ron calls the idea of a border fence "rather offensive" and says it wouldn't work.

Because Penn did an "Illegal Immigration" episode of his tv show, Bullshit! showing how the border fence would be a stupid waste of taxpayers' money.

That's part one of the episode. The other two can be located at the sidebar of youtube.

So what's better, a virtual border fence? haha

all BS aside, Penn does make good points even though he is more or less a globalist shill. And if you are not a scholar of Paul's positions, and haven't heard 200 of his speeches you would be put off by the racist smear job as well.

That's rather interesting - because from my point of view, your ignorance and your LACK of support for Ron Paul is like saying "MAKE FUN OF ME FOR BEING CRAZY".
