I posted the following on the ALIPAC website thinking it was a positive but people said that it was really a path to amnesty:
Rep. Ron Paul gave a sneak peak into how his administration would handle illegal immigrants, telling a Spanish language news program, I’m not going to kowtow to Latino voters. Paul, appearing on Univision’s Sunday morning politics show “Al Punto,” said that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be given any special route to citizenship. Paul instead suggested the possibility of their earning a work permit to fold them into the American legal system.
“If everyone who comes illegally is automatically given citizenship, a vote, and can apply for welfare, that would not be good format because we would have more of it,” said Paul. Paul also offered a different interpretation of the 14th amendment, adding that children of illegal immigrants are not under the jurisdiction of U.S. law and thus should not be given automatic citizenship.
He also shrugged off any worries that his message might not appeal to Latino voters who are concerned about immigration reform.
“If you think I need to have a different message for Hispanics than I do for other people, I think that’s unnecessary,” said Paul. “I don’t want to punish anyone who belongs to a special group, and nobody should get special privilege either.”

Response:
A work permit to "fold illegals into the American legal system" is a defacto path to amnesty. Illegals must go home and apply for permits or work visas in their home country (and they should not be approved because too many Americans are unemployed). But captured illegals should be put to work on prisonfarms to work for free as a means of defraying the cost of deporting them.
Nice try, Ron Paul, but no fancy language is going to fool us into approving a path to amnesty for the invaders!

Hope you can help me come up with a rebuttal for this. Thanks!
