   Here’s what Ron Paul says in his book Liberty Defined.

   sending twelve to fifteen million illegals home… isn’t going to happen. Neither the determination or the ability to accomplish it exists. Besides, if each case is looked at separately, we would find ourselves splitting up families and deporting some who have lived here for decades, if not their entire life, and who never lived for any length of time in Mexico. This would hardly be a Good Samaritan approach to the problem. It would be incompatible with human rights.”
   – Source: Paul, Ron. Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect our Freedom. New York: Grand Central Publishing, 2011. Page 153.

   Letting the people stay is what’s been happening since the first 1986 amnesty. And you know what? It led to more amnesties and more instances of letting the people stay.

   With 22 million Americans looking for full-time work, and eight million illegals with jobs here, no one can say Ron Paul is anything but open borders.

   Open borders means totalitarianism, and Ron Paul loves open borders!

   In Dr. Ron Paul’s October 31, 1988, statement to C-SPANN entitled Ron Paul on Immigration, Communism, and Drugs (1988 – Part 4) at 4:08 through 5:24 in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxzZjmZ-1dc), he used the words “a lot of Americans won’t do these jobs . . . shortage of labor . . . they [Mexicans] enhance our standard of living . . . It’s a perfect foreign aid system.” (Emphasis added.)

     There is currently no contemplation of rounding up 15,000,000+ people and processing them for deportation. Not a single candidate in the race has a plan to do so. If you read the rest of the chapter you would get the full scope of Dr. Paul’s beliefs on illegal immigration. Please refer to the article for some examples of his anti-illegal immigrant record and how his philosophy of small government and abolishing the welfare state would deter illegal immigration. No other candidate in the race has proposed a more dramatic reduction in the size and budget of the government.

     He’s for legal immigration. Allowing people to come (alone) with work visas to do jobs when employers can’t find workers here, and letting people abroad filing for citizenship legally be first in line rather than be behind people who came illegally and received amnesty. He believes the easiest way to get people to leave is to not give them incentives. If you can’t use free schools and childcare, have emergency rooms for free health care, get free food from government programs like WIC, or get a job, what else will you do but go back to your homeland? He doesn’t even believe that children born here illegally deserve US citizenship, and would change that interpretation to remove the anchor-baby problem. He’s pro legal immigration. What’s wrong with that?

   There’s no need to roundup people. They’ll leave on there own.

     Exactly. They will leave on their own when we implement E-Verify (H.R.2885, The Legal Workforce Act) nationally. Tell Dr. Paul — who has sponsored/co-sponsored NO immigration-limiting legislation whatsoever in the current congress — to co-sponsor and vote for it.

     It requires employers to run each prospective employee and each employee through a simple system that matches Social Security Numbers and names which identifies citizens and those here legally. Ones here illegally will consequently leave the country when they no longer have jobs here.

     And no one — NO ONE — can say that anybody in the world should be able to come here when all foreign-born workers are 50% more likely to be on welfare, and citizens therefore pay taxes to lose their own jobs!

     Dr. Paul is full of demagoguery when he presents an either/or solution (deport illegals or let them stay) rather than the actual facts.
