LeftHook,
Libertarians are horrible on “immigration” issues. Dr. Paul deviates from the Libertarian platform on that issue. And over the years, Dr. Paul has come a long way on the “immigration” issue. Not a convenient flip flop like Romney, but a gradual adjustment in his philosophy. Makes sense to me. I know over the years my thinking has changed on various issues.

Ron Paul is a self-described “Champion of the Constitution”. (which reminds me of the oath of office) And with all the abuses of power in recent years I don’t see why more people aren’t behind him at this point.
Since Ron Paul entered Congress as a representative from a border state, over 20M illegals have entered the U.S.
What has Ron Paul done in his almost 20 years as a Congressman to stop the flow of illegal immigrants? Why would anybody expect him to do better as president than he has over the past three decades when he could have been doing something, but didn’t?

Common sense and rule of law!

Aren’t Libertarians (and the Ron Paul of several years ago) strong supporters of large immigration?
