There is an obvious cynical effort to weaken opposition to amnesty by splitting it away from other conservative issue. Thus there is Rubio for every conservative issue EXCEPT AMNESTY and Paul Ryan champion of fiscal responsibility but FOR MEGA BUCKS TO IMPLEMENT A MASS AMNESTY, and others. It is vital that illegal aliens LEAVE THE COUNTRY otherwise any other laws are meaningless. It is, as they say, "closing the bard door after the horse has run off."

There is not one single piece of proposed legislation to require illegal aliens to leave the country. Even Rand Paul ridicules those who want illegals to leave by saying "They (illegal aliens) are not going home." Oh, really? and why is that, Mr. Paul? Because politicians like you have no intention of proposing legislation to make them? It can be done humanely of course "turn off the magnet." But apparently Mr. Paul chooses to ignore that inconvenient option; he says, "What do they (people who want illegals to leave) want us to do, put them in concentration camps...?"

Many people think Rand Paul is this great libertarian freedom fighter --I do not. If illegal aliens are not required to leave the country, then they get to stay indefinitely and legally and that is amnesty. Because amnesty will be massive it will devastate our society and the conservative movement. You can not be a freedom fighter and for a nation killing, conservative killing mass amnesty. You can not be a conservative and for amnesty-- period!
What was that British advertisement? Something like: (illegal aliens) go home or be arrested.

That is the kind of immigration policy our government should promote. And not even the great Rand Paul has the courage and honesty to promote it. I think because he is getting all mushy with visions of sugar plums and the Presidency dancing in his head.
