Well for corporations apparently it’s awesome. For people? Especially brown people? Not so much.

There will not be a Paul Presidency.
To follow him is useful only as an indicator of the numbers of so-called*** “libertarians” participating in the political process, as data for future candidates and elections…
*** Paul not really a libertarian. He is a Grifter (capital “G”) and has about as much right to call himself “libertarian” as Joseph Stalin has to identify himself as a “socialist”.

“Many people assume that their family immigrated to the U.S. legally,
or did it “the right way.” In most cases, this statement does not
reflect the fact that the U.S. immigration system was very different
when their families arrived, and that their families might not have been
allowed to enter had today’s laws been in effect. In some cases,
claiming that a family came “legally” is simply inaccurate—undocumented
immigration has been a reality for generations.
Whether one immigrated “legally” or “illegally” depends on the laws
in effect at the time. When many families arrived in the U.S., there
were no numerical limitations on immigration, no requirements to have an
existing family or employment relationship with someone in the U.S.,
and no requirement to obtain a visa prior to arriving. As numerical
limitations were instituted and certain immigrants were restricted from
entering the U.S., illegal immigration increased. The definition of who
was “legal” and who was “illegal” changed with the evolution of
immigration laws.”

Yeah, the Constitution sucks. With all these strapping young bucks running around causing mischief maybe reinstituting the Three Fifths Compromise Clause should be opened up to debate, too. Sounds like a GOP convention plank just waiting to happen.

" That’s the way the law has been interpreted. "
I love how the new GOP talking point is that the 14th Amendment is just another law. Not a part of the Constitution that they proclaim to hold so dear. Just a law that can easily be repealed.

Jeb Bush respects it so much he wishes he could wave a magic wand and alter at least 10 Amendments. Process…phooey!!

It really does blow my mind, that advocating for ignoring the 14th Amendment has become a litmus test for the GOP.
We are talking about campaigning for a job in which you have to swear to uphold the Constitution, and the vast majority of them are staking out positions to do the exact opposite.

Best watch out GOP voters, those baby terrorists are waddling your way, and they’re gonna getch ya!
Border security? What does this have to do with border security? It’s about keeping brown people out of white people country, plain and simple.

You are correct. And what I see on the Tube is grinning jocks, sitcom actors, sports talking-heads, Univision novelas in which the actors look German instead of Latino, a paucity of Asian actors, etc.
Not exactly the scenes encouraging a response to a “state of emergency”

So…why bother with a bill that directly violates an Amendment?

Consistency…that’s the ticket! Rand Paul is consistently on both sides of an issue. He’s never over here or over there. He’s all over the place. He never flips without flipping back. …that’s our man.
Whew! The number of changes the Republicans want to make to the Constitution just keeps growing. They’ve already managed to truncate the 2nd Amendment without jumping through the required hoops.
