This is why Rand Paul and libertarians never got anywhere close to the White House as candidates.
"Immigrants in the country illegally should be allowed to stay and work as long as they haven’t committed any other crimes, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul told The Enquirer on Wednesday.
But they should not be allowed to become citizens, said Paul, a Republican from Bowling Green, Kentucky, who now heads the influential Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee “I would simply say, ‘you no longer have to run from the law,’ ” Paul said of undocumented immigrants who have not committed any crimes. “If you want to work in our country and you’re willing to be a productive member of our society, you stay. And that would be the trade-off.”"
When asked who should be deported, Paul agreed with much of Trump’s immigration policies, including the deportation of criminals living in the United States illegally. The country should first deport criminals and “then decide where we go beyond that,” he said. For those who came to the country illegally but have otherwise worked and lived peacefully, Paul said they should be allowed a work permit.
“If I were in charge, I would allow people, if they are not wanted for crime, have not committed a crime, and they’ve been living here in a reasonable fashion, if they wanted to work, I’d allow them to have work permits,” Paul said. “But I wouldn’t give them a path to citizenship or a path to voting.”"
He's a RINO by definition and porridge as a "lawmaker" and grandstander in congressional hearings, never pushing hard enough, and never leading to any real action against the left.
The LAW exists for a reason. The vast majority of people working here illegally are breaking other laws besides. They aren't carrying insurance, and they're not paying taxes, for starters. A real intelligent congressman should also understand that they're not paying penalties for exporting goods into Mexico and sending their money there instead of using it within THIS economy. None of these things are good for the people, and he would understand that if he had any real understanding of and loyalty to the republic.
That's the problem with libertarians. They still want cheap labor and goods, but want to grandstand on conservative principles when it's election time. When push comes to shove, however, they won't pick up their share of the load. They'll just try to stay out of the fray.
