I am not a troll, but I had a heated discussion with a Obama supporter last night. The soul reason they did not support Ron Paul, was because he is against giving visas to terrorists nations and the like. Frankly, this is the only point that I might not agree completely with Ron Paul on seeing as how some potential students might just be looking for the same opportunity and freedoms as our founding fathers did when they came to this land. Yes, it is more complicating than that. I did however mention Obamas stance on asssult weapons, the patriot act, wishy washy answer for the war, and how his increase in minimum wage would further unemployment (my friend is an economics major so he understood this point on S&D). Quite honestly Obama would worsen our economic situation.
Ron Paul is the better choice... don't mean to offen anyone here about my stance on the visas. My best friend is a student from Honderas with a visa and he is worried that even though his country isn't considered a terrorist nation he might still be deported. I am a die hard Ron Paul supporter that did his part for Nov 5th, December 16th, and January 15th and I voted/sign waved for Ron Paul in the Michigan primaries.

Sounds about right, we can put embargoes on nations then we can deny visas.
