Border Security
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 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 third-world style “North American Union” is not out of the question and it would be a fascist elite’s dream come true. 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.
If you disagree with a de-facto economic union with Mexico and Canada please consider speaking out today. Any future opposition will be irrelevant because 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.
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.
- 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.
Join the Ron Paul Revolution and help us put illegal immigrants where they belong: back to their home countries right at the end of the line of legal immigrants patiently waiting to be approved.
Ron Paul on the Immigration Question:

My name is Pete VanKlaveren and I’m an 8th Grader at Alderwood Middle School in Lynnwood, Washington.
I am doing a research project and my essential question is “How Does Illegal Imigration impact the US, and what should the policy be?”
I was wondering if you could share your opinions with me, to answer a few questions. If you can’t, do you know anyone who could?
What do you think some large impacts are from illegal immigration on the US?
What sould the policy be on illegal immigration?
Why does illegal immigration matter?
Thank you very much for taking your time to red this. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Pete VanKlaveren
Pete,

Illegal immigration is in the process of turning the US into a third world country with a small ruling elite, a small middle class and an impoverished majority.
Almost everyone will be worse off, except the ruling elite (a divided and poor people is easier to keep under control) and illegal immigrants who are still better off than they would be in their home countries.
Therefore the policy should be “no amnesty”, “secure the borders”, and “give them incentives to return home”.
Hi Pete,
To address your last question, “Why does illegal immigration matter?”, let me start by saying that first, it is illegal, meaning that it is against the laws of the United States. There are many reasons why the law was written and is in place, but it is not meant to be punitive. what it means is that our country provides a legal means and set of procedures to be followed by anyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, etc., to become a citizen, and therefore qualify for all the rights and priveleges that are afforded one. The main issues today are that illegal immigrants siphon tax dollars from legal citizens in many forms; education, medical care, food stamps, and other forms. Do you think this is fair? Unfortunately, the procedures for becoming a citizen are long and cumbersome, and I do not think that is fair either. Overall, the system is in need of repair. Do you have any ideas? If so, then please run for office! :o)
I don’t agree with getting rid of the birthright. You can still squash illegal immigration without doing that. It’s not the fault of the child that they had parents willing to break the law to get a “better life”. I think if parents do this they get a choice. Take the child back home with them but the child is still a citizen and can come back when ever they want or leave the child. I’m sure most parents would take the child back with them and the ones that choose not too probably shouldn’t be allowed to have kids anyway.
I support Ron Paul 100% on all issues.
I say let’s annex parts of Mexico and use these annexations to prove to the rest of Mexico that joining the US is the way to go. My reasons are simple: Mexico is a corrupt place and has been for over 500 years. We will never have a stable neighbor to our south unless a responsible government is in place, real US style property rights are granted, and the criminal element is hunted down and destroyed. None of these things are likely to happen with the present power structure in Mexico. Our best option is to annex. We’ve rebuilt Iraq’s government, military, border patrol, etc in record time and it’s not our country. Imagine how quickly we could rebuild Mexcio if we owned it!
This November I will put Ron Paul’s name on my Ballot, unless Mr Caine drops out and then it would save me the trouble.
I believe that AIPAC is the real reason why ron Paul wasnot successfull in primaries…

I disagree with getting rid of birth right. It was important in founding our country and I think is too much part of our idenity to split. Though I know Paul is a lover of individualism, I don’t want to be a France and I love America’s rich multiculturalism too much to part with it.
