Who is more on the side illegal alien amnesty Romney or Paul?

Q: Lawn work at Romney's home still done by illegal immigrantshttp://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2007/12/lawn_work_at_ro.htmlVS Ron Paul Immigration and the Welfare Stateby Rep. Ron Paul, MDMore and more of my constituents are asking me when Congress will address the problem of illegal immigration. The public correctly perceives that neither political party has the courage to do what is necessary to prevent further erosion of both our border security and our national identity. As a result, immigration may be the sleeper issue that decides the 2008 presidential election.The problem of illegal immigration will not be solved easily, but we can start by recognizing that the overwhelming majority of Americans – including immigrants – want immigration reduced, not expanded.Amnesty for illegal immigrants is not the answer. Millions of people who broke the law by entering, staying, and working in our country illegally should not be rewarded with a visa. Why should lawbreakers obtain a free pass, while those seeking to immigrate legally face years of paperwork and long waits for a visa?We must end welfare state subsidies for illegal immigrants. Some illegal immigrants – certainly not all – receive housing subsidies, food stamps, free medical care, and other forms of welfare. This alienates taxpayers and breeds suspicion of immigrants, even though the majority of them work very hard. Without a welfare state, we would know that everyone coming to America wanted to work hard and support himself.Our current welfare system also encourages illegal immigration by discouraging American citizens from taking low-wage jobs. This creates greater demand for illegal foreign labor. Welfare programs and minimum wage laws create an artificial market for labor to do the jobs Americans supposedly won’t do.Illegal immigrants also place a tremendous strain on social entitlement programs. Under a proposed totalization agreement with Mexico, millions of illegal immigrants will qualify for Social Security and other programs – programs that already threaten financial ruin for America in the coming decades. Adding millions of foreign citizens to the Social Security, Medicare, and disability rolls will only hasten the inevitable day of reckoning. Economic considerations aside, we must address the cultural aspects of immigration. The vast majority of Americans welcome immigrants who want to come here, work hard, and build a better life. But we rightfully expect immigrants to show a sincere desire to become American citizens, speak English, and assimilate themselves culturally. All federal government business should be conducted in English. More importantly, we should expect immigrants to learn about and respect our political and legal traditions, which are rooted in liberty and constitutionally limited government. http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul269.html

A: Paul has more of the Congress on his side than either party, his bill to audit the fed has 313 signers. But he is right and unfortunately maybe the lobbyists and their billions have corrupted the rest. It must be addressed and when the race card gets played someone is going to step u p to the plate. The race card was played when they tried to bring to light the mismanagement of Freddie and Fannie Mae and look what happened three years later an almost melt down of the crooks in the financial sector. Thanks Democrats.When I watched the Republican debates I gave up, when Ron Paul made historically correct statements many laughed or took it out of context and only an idiot couldn't see that.But Paul would and could take the heat to not only secure the borders but also revise things like the "favored nation status" program where nations people can come here on a 90 day pas, they come in and then don't leave according to ICE. About 2 million a year hide out and add that to the borders and you can see a huge demographics change in a few decades.As far as Gov. Romney he allow Sen. McCain to kept saying he could use his fortune to run for president and he didn't care and also not sure about the other things he looks at. I wonder if the legislature in Massachusetts pushed the health care deal on him or he went along for the ride.
