Rand Paul does support AZ Illegal Immigration Law

[Malachi]

He just answered the question YES when asked about it on Kentucky radio just now.

Thought Danno would like to know that.

I love how everyone on both sides is trying to split the fucking movement over this. Shame if the revolution implodes because you people won't stop bickering.

Danno was spreading misinformation about this last week and Rand Paul just cleared up any doubts anyone had on where he stands on this! It's not about splitting up anybody, it's about getting the CORRECT information out there!

This whole debate in general is unproductive for the movement. If we win, and end the drug war and shrink the welfare state, the problem disappears. You all risk that future by fighting over what to do in the interim.

Good choice, so do I! So lets move on.

The AZ immigration law is less about the war on drugs and more about defending the borders of a soveriegn nation against an illegal invasion.

I lean libertarian pretty hard but i do not understand the argument with this legislation. It implicitly says that they cannot racially profile in the bill. I support the AZ immigration law. If the federal government would do it's damn job, AZ wouldn't have to worry about protecting it's soveriegn borders.

Callers pretty good. A few said they were looking to volunteer for him.

One caller was unhappy that the Herald Leader endorsed him!

It also says explicitly that you can be arrested without a warrant on suspicion of being here illegally (a removable offense). This is separate from arrests and detainment stemming from lawful contact.

I'm not going to re-argue the whole thing. I can only represent my own opinion of it, and Rand can only represent his. The debate is pretty moot anyhow, because both sides are merely distracting one another while e-verify, RealID, and work-eligibility cards become the norm.

In the meantime, the borders are unprotected, so those deported will just come back and start the whole thing again since the biggest incentives to come here illegally are still in place. The more dangerous folks are not waiting to be stopped and asked for their ID, anyhow; they are "shoot first" types.

My understanding is that the law has now been changed so the person not only has to be stopped for something else, race CANNOT be a factor in the determination of reasonable suspicion. I haven't read it, but if he really gave a clean 'yes', he must have. His web site addresses the principles he is in favor of, but doesn't say whether the Az law addresses those. I had the distinct impression he wasn't familiar enough with it to say.
