A nation without borders is no nation at all. After decades of misguided policies America has now become a free-for-all. Our leaders betrayed the middle class which is forced to compete with welfare-receiving illegal immigrants who will work for almost anything, just because the standards in their home countries are even lower.
If these policies are not reversed, the future is grim. A poor, dependent and divided population is much easier to rule than a nation of self-confident individuals who can make a living on their own and who share the traditions and values that this country was founded upon.
Ron Paul’s six point plan puts a stop to illegal immigration:
- Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
- Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
- No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
- No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
- End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong. [Current U.S. citizens will not be affected. Instead, babies born to illegals after a future cutoff date will no longer gain automatic U.S. citizenship. They will still have citizenship in their parents' home countries.]
- Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.
The facts on the ground are being created right now. Every day that passes makes it more difficult to reverse the damage that has already been done.
I think it’s funny how many people have nothing to do but agrue online!!!
When there is illegals working in the fields right now which they are just trying to make a living. I’m currently doing a mock Campaign for Ron Paul at my college and my speech is on immigration. Immigrations is a subject for personal Bias but to call one person ignornant for stating their own feelings is ignornat. Why be a Hater??? Do your research and Don’t be Bias!!!

Immigration is such a touchy subject. I am a first generation natural born citizen in my family (both my parents entered legally and are now citizens as well) and I have opposing views from them and yet, opposing views here. Before any concrete action should take place, they need to fix the problem. It is way too many people to be all against working out the problem and even deportation can be harsh since some could have been living here majority of their life. I am all up to getting stricter with regulations, but we can not abandon those who have been in our surroundings without even considering ways in which they could help the system.

as a hiring manager i know how hard it is to fill positions with Only Americans… in the hotel industry no one wants to work the jobs for what the companies are paying… I also know many think they should receive high wages to start… Immigrants are not taking our jobs… they are taking the jobs no one else wants to do. Do not blame the immigrants for the wages… blame the companies who do not want to pay the wages an american thinks he or she should make. I am an American by the way… i have no issue working for minimum wage at whatever job i am doing…

There are 3 reasons why Ron Paul should stay in the race. 1. Obama’s Illegal Libyan Crusade 2. Obama’s Illegal Immigration Policies at the expense of hard working American taxpayers, and 3. Obama’s support of Gay Marriage. I switched parties and have been campaigning for Ron Paul since Obama made the first mistake (1)! RON PAUL 2012!!!

Illegal immigration in my opinion is a tool both partys use to win vote.Every election year they talk about it,some tell their voter that illegals make their life miserable they take you your job and such others say that have nothing to do,that they are human first of all.In the end none of them do nothing cause they know this is one the strongest tool to be used for both party to get into the the house and them they suddenly see the truth and than shut up,have no comments or say they have no support from anybody.what america needs is something concrete,either deport everybody or fix the situation and stop this stupid game of politicians

Illegal immigration is caused by illegal jobs. Immigrants ought not be held accountable to laws avoided by legal citizens.
1) Holding employers accountable has already been proven to decrease illegal populations in those states where the right to security of all citizens, including those doing business, implies a duty to pay a minimum wage and adherence to federal and local tax codes. Change the current system if you don’t like it, but don’t pretend profiting from injustice validates a “free market system”.
2) Once the carrot has been removed, reform immigration policy to reflect the reality of today’s international labor force. Ask yourself, “Are we here to to make the world a better place, or to take advantage of it?” If our great society requires a lower caste to survive economically, then its time to allow them out of the shadows and recognize their lives, liberties and pursuit of happiness too.
The reality of working immigrants being treated as a disposable labor force and blamed for our problem is unconscionable.

I don’t understand how this man (Ron Paul) can call himself a christian when he’s showing what is contrary to what Christ taught (love, mercy, kindness, acceptance, etc.) how dares he to say that he will abolish citizenship from kids born over here in the U.S just because their parents are undocumented (not illegal)?, in that case even he need to go back to europe and cancel his citizenship cuz somehow down the line he is a descendant of an european emigrant. and from the very beginning, who has ever come “legally” to the U.S? in that case, native american should rule the emigration policies. this man is crazy and his idea will never come to happen.

Well, being a conservative has nothing to do with his Christian views. He, unlike other polititians, would lead this country without injecting his Christian beliefs into how this country is run. Controlling borders of a nation that is worried about so called “terrorist” and runaway debt is a step in the right direction. Awarding illegal immigrants and gearing our military toward an invisible enemy overseas, along with billions of taxpayer dollars, is a further step towards disaster.
If they want to be a citizen of this country, they need to go through the process like everyone else…STAND IN LINE! The incentives have to stop. Stop awarding people for breaking our countries laws!

Uh, the countries did when the parents received their citizenship in that country.
America is just following all the other countries by not allowing automatic citizenship JUST because you were born there.

All these religious tangents are just sad.
What does God have to do with illegal immigration? One persons going on about ‘love thy neighbor’ and the others talking about how the whole ‘Muslim race’ is evil and how all immigrants are criminals, and both use religious context for their reasoning.
Sounds kind of chaotic, if you ask me. Its just using religion for a crutch for your own personal believes.

What the U.S. needs is to invest more in education because by the looks of these blog there are way too many ignorant morons who blame illegal immigrants for everything.
In my opinion the United States should deport all morons who have unethical traits and whom are ignorant, arrogant, and racist.
It’s a shame really how crude in education many of you are.

:/ That’s a little one sided, don’t you think?
Just because a person doesn’t agree with you doesn’t make them ignorant. However, I do agree with you, we cant blame all of our problems on illegal immigration, but it is still a substantial problem. Immigration, by all means, should be encouraged, it isn’t a bad thing. However, illegal immigration (other than the fact that it is ILLEGAL), severally damages our already rather fragile economy.

It’s rather hard for a citizen child to receive a proper education when much of the funds are diverted to educate illegal alien’s children. The classes are over crowded by illegals which further impedes the learning process for children, because their parents pay taxes to support these schools, have a right to be there.
