It's going to happen and it's not going to be the straw.
The best is that can happen is that first they force the borders to be closed.
And as far as those that are here something along the line of no misdemeanors,
no felonies, and a job.  That's the best we're going to get.

I know it's repulsive and creepy but that's the best we're going to get and my money's on worse.

I heard that Rand says he was misquoted.
There is no path to citizenship.

However they would be allowed to stay and get in line.But not ahead of anyone else

That is exactly right. He blasted the AP for lying about his quote. Erick Erickson has read the entire transcript of the speech and says that Rand Paul did not utter a single word about citizenship for illegals.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I don't like ANY of the so-called solutions to illegal immigration. But there is a vast difference between what Rand Paul said and what the bogus headline claims.

I find it very hard to believe the lamestream misquoted a conservative. <sarcasm>

Yes, the MFM did gin up the story, big shock there, that situation will continue until no opposition to the Left remains or all of them are dangling from utility poles.

I would like to know what "get in line" means, get in line for what?  A free toaster?  A voter registration card?  Just what is this line for?
