Well…enough of Spooks threadjack game. Here’s Mr. Pauls new TV advert:
Ron Paul TV Ad: Immigration
[i]"Narrator: For generations, Lady Liberty welcomed immigrants that came here legally, followed the rules and led productive lives. Today, illegal immigrants violate our borders and overwhelm our hospitals, schools and social services.
Ron Paul wants border security NOW:
[b]Physically secure the border.
No amnesty.
No welfare to illegal aliens.
End birthright citizenship.
No more student visas from terrorist nations.[/b]
Standing up for the rule of law… Ron Paul for President.
Congressman Paul: I’m Ron Paul and I approve this message.[/i]
Sounds good, eh?
Too bad he doesn’t vote that way.
from another site (with sourcing):
[i]"Paul has some questionable votes in this area (3 times voted for amnesty for visa over stayers, voted against troops on the border, etc), but let’s look at just a couple of recent ones and you decide WHY he would vote against these measures.
H.Res. 800- a resolution stating that that States should not issue driver’s licenses or other government-issued photo identification to aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States.———————— Paul voted NO clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/ROLL_100.asp
H.R. 4160- legislation withholding highway funds from those states which issue a driver’s license or identification card to illegal aliens. opencongress.org/bill/110-h4160/show-——————; Paul did not co sponsor- no final vote yet.
In 1987, he wrote that the United States should not have a national immigration policy and “should welcome everyone who wants to come here and work.”
