Just another Republican fool who thinks this will garner more votes from the Hispanic community for their party. There still are some saner heads prevailing in congress and I hope they don't all end up selling our country down the river by caving into this travesty called CIR.

Of course I knew this would happen. He's a libertarian. Real libertarians, instead of Republicans who call themselves libertarian because it's the hot new thing now, support open borders.

If I were you, I'd start adjusting myself now for CIR to become reality. It has a 75% chance of passing, might as well get used to it. Otherwise, you're just gonna be angry and bitter for no reason like white nationalists are.

Don't count your chickens yet. This amnesty was pushed by Bush a few years ago and the outrage by the public was what kept it from passing last time and will again.

Please don't bring white nationalists into this issue. The majority of Americans regardless of their race do not support another amnesty (other than ethnocentric Hispanics, that is). Bitter and angry? Um, millions of illegal immigrants have invaded our country and have costs us billions not to mention the loss job opportunties for Americans. If that isn't reason to be bitter and angry then I don't know what is.

About those chickens...

That was then, this is now:

"More than 6 in 10 Americans now favor allowing illegal immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens, a major increase in support driven by a turnaround in Republicans’ opinions after the 2012 elections.
...
Sixty-two percent of Americans now favor providing a way for illegal immigrants in the U.S. to become citizens, an increase from just 50 percent in the summer of 2010, the last time the AP polled on the question."

Americans are getting weary of the fights. Illegals are destroying the workplace and ripping the social safety net to pieces while gays and lesbians are trampling on our morality and marriage customs. The people with their hands out have taken over the government. Politicians like Paul are compromising core values to get re-elected. There are just too many things going sour in modern America. Traditional Americans are getting too tired to fight it anymore.
