Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) holds a nuanced position on illegal immigration, blending support for enforcement with civil liberties concerns.?

Enforcement and Border Security
Opposition to Military Use for Deportations: Paul strongly opposes using the U.S. military for mass deportations, labeling such actions as "illegal" and a "terrible image" for the country. He advocates for deportations to be handled by law enforcement agencies like ICE and the FBI, emphasizing adherence to constitutional protections such as the Fourth Amendment. ?


Critique of Expensive Border Measures: As a fiscal conservative, Paul is skeptical of costly border security initiatives, including extensive border wall projects. He questions the effectiveness and necessity of such expenditures, especially those exceeding $100 billion. ?


Legislative Initiatives
PACT Act: Paul introduced the Protecting American Citizens Together (PACT) Act, aiming to penalize "sanctuary cities" that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. The legislation would require local law enforcement to notify ICE upon arresting an illegal immigrant and detain them if requested by ICE. Non-compliant jurisdictions would risk losing federal law enforcement grants. ?


SECURE Act: He also proposed the Stop Extremists Coming Under Refugee Entry (SECURE) Act, which seeks to suspend visa issuance from countries with high terrorism risks until stringent screening procedures are established. ?


Pathway to Citizenship
Conditional Support: In a 2013 speech to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Paul expressed support for a conditional pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. He emphasized that such a pathway should be contingent upon Congress verifying progress in securing the border. ?

Birthright Citizenship
14th Amendment Interpretation: Paul has questioned the application of the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship clause to children of illegal immigrants. He suggests that the amendment was intended for children of slaves and not for those born to individuals in the country illegally. ?

Overall, Senator Paul's stance on illegal immigration reflects a balance between enforcing immigration laws and upholding constitutional liberties, with a focus on cost-effective and lawful approaches.

He has also introduced legislation aimed at penalizing sanctuary cities that defy federal immigration laws.


Sometimes he is a bit too stuck in principle, but he has principles.

Here's a clue: "US" stand for UNITED States

---

The Confederation of States that all of the United States were a party of was a perpetual union. Yet somehow history overlooks that fact that each State had to leave that Union to ratify the Constitution to form the US (These United States, not The United States.)

They were still the United States without the seceded ones.

What of those who didn't want out?

---

The same for those counties today that want to leave their current State, they as individuals are free to go. Otherwise, it's a fight they have to take on. States have sovereignty through the people of that State. The federal government has no sovereignty.

You don't know anything about Sherman's March

---

“There is a class of people [in the South], men, women and children, who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order.”

Women and children. This man was a psychopath and not someone to be revered.

quote:

---

He organized the whole march and shite...behind O's back. He is one bottom of the barrel pos scum, and a race baiting mf at that.

---

I agree with you

quote:

---

goal was the same - to take the fight out of the enemy and deny him the means to carry it out. What Sherman did saved a lot us US Army soldiers' lives - just like when we dropped the Bomb on Hiroshima.

---

What was the threat to the US for the southern States leaving? There was no threat of violence or takeover. They simply wanted out of the union.

What was the threat from villages in rural Georgia that required Sherman burning then to the ground?

Lincoln imprisoned State officials and news reporters via suspension of habeas corpus. He used the military to end the conscription riots in NY (that's a good one for you to look up, you can read about how those virtuous Northerners lynched Black people and burned the homes of rich families)

I don't know more about the Antebellum North than the South. What i do know is people like you believe only what history you have been fed your whole life to prop up a narrative to reinforce the need for an overarching, all powerful central government.

The history of the War for Southern Independence and Abraham Lincoln have been purposefully dumbed down to a third grade understanding to believe there was a dialectical choice between the altruistic North and the evil South. That is no where close to what it was.

quote:

---

The South was truly a tyranny

---

Is this what they teach in schools nowadays?

Listen to me closely, the War between the States was a war between two racist Nations. I don't have to pretend the South were the good guys to say the Yankees were pieces of shite.

The battle was over money and power. Not some altruistic virtue held by an extreme minority.

quote:

---

Yet it was never brought to a vote as an amendment before the war by these so called conscientious people, now was it?

Think of the things we have not brought to vote as amendments: Voter ID, Birthright citizenship; and the limiting of the Commerce Clause to bolster States’ Rights. Why? Because these would have 0% chance of passing.

A Constitutional Amendment to ban slavery, when half the states were slavers, would have had no chance to garner the 3/4s of the states necessary.
quote:
And when was this statement made in 1861 before the war began?

I can’t believe you seriously asked that question, because the answer is, “All over Christiandom.” Most notably in Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

You didn't answer either question. All you did was spout some irrelevant bullshite.
