"Here's how I envision it," he says. "They would have to come forward. They would have to undergo a background check." Anyone who committed a serious crime would be deported. "They would be fingerprinted," he continues. "They would have to pay a fine, pay back taxes, maybe even do community service. They would have to prove they've been here for an extended period of time. They understand some English and are assimilated. Then most of them would get legal status and be allowed to stay in this country."

Why is this in the Rand forum?

Why is this in the Rand forum?

Because Rand was talking about doing some sort of scheme like this in the near future a while back..

God, and Agorism alone know...

ah. well, I'll leave it then.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Sounds like a good idea as long as they aren't allowed to vote.

An article on Rand would be nice then.

Rubio stories can go under media spin, as that's the only kind of Rubio story in the msm.

Well, now I know what Rush and Hannity will be talking about tomorrow.

Brian, can you move it please? we dont need Rubio propaganda in here!

Good luck with that because voting is considered a universal human right by many....

 

[Brett85]

Is there a way that we can ban this member of Ron Paul forums from posting on Rand's forum?

 

[Brett85]

"They would be fingerprinted,"

Great, let's just expand the police state even further.

Are the new immigrants going to be taxed? if yes, then they sure will be getting their voting cards

marco rubio's plan is sorta like that one from thah "W" that i was never too critical of... usually & typically in the 70s + 80s + 90s
many & most of our bay state green card illegals were often from the south of ireland. wanna guess why we aren't orange county?

I think the fine, back taxes and community service is stupid. They won't come forward facing all that. Just give them a green card and get it over with.

I think the point is to make it look like you're doing something compassionate without actually giving the Democrats millions of new voters.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

In an interview with POLITICO, [Rand] Paul said he’ll return to Congress this week pushing measures long avoided by his party. He wants to work with liberal Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Republicans to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for pot possession. He wants to carve a compromise immigration plan with an “eventual path” to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a proposal he believes could be palatable to conservatives. And he believes his ideas — along with pushing for less U.S. military intervention in conflicts overseas — could help the GOP broaden its tent and appeal to crucial voting blocs that handed Democrats big wins in the West Coast, the Northeast and along the Great Lakes.

that 15 million illegal immigrants will change the political landscape. i dont like this at all.

But like 69360 said, very few illegal immigrants would actually come forward if they faced penalties that severe.

 

[Agorism]

The Rubio bill will be toxic. Not only will most of the party not support Rand, but half this forum will have reservations about him as well.
