Ron Paul Discusses Immigration, the Welfare/Warfare State & More with Motorhome Diaries

Check out this video


Ron Paul (R-TX) is one of the key catalysts for the freedom movement, which was why we at motorhomediaries.com were so excited to have the chance to sit down with him in his home district. In this video we discuss resources available to those new to the ideas of liberty, immigration, free markets, the welfare state and bailouts.

    Sen Barbara Jordan led a BiPartisan commission in 1995 to find solutions to immigration, Her commission came up with real solutions, like an ID card to be used in applying for jobs & benefits. Her ideas were attacked by the usual anti American traitors and in its place they only suggest another amnesty. Don’t be fooled, educate yourself on immigration and how it is a tax on the working poor and helping to wipe out the middle class. Go to numbersusa or vdare for good info.

    There’s nothing wrong with amnesty itself. He took one possible route with his position, but another would be to suggest a constitutional amendment for amnesty and open borders, which would be legal. However, you could only do that after getting rid of , or at least dramatically scaling back, all welfare programs and deregulating hospitals and educational facilities so that the costs of entry in those parts of the market weren’t so high and people could facilitate the increased demand.

    Well true, under this system we need a wall, becuse we need the dirt job. But he is right, under a libertarian system, we would all need 20 illegals to work for us, cusse business would be slamming, this is a fact, my family runs biz, and when times were good, we needed workers, and see! That is how it worked.

    Ron Paul is right on the illegal immigration and border security issue. I’m glad he did not cave in to pressure from the libertarian party people to advocate open borders and amnesty. During his campaign, he advocated no amnesty(no path to citizenship) for illegal aliens and for securing the border, ports and interior and enforcing laws on he books against illegal immigration. I’m glad he stood up to the open borders amnesty types(like E. Hancock) during his 2008 campaign and did not back down.

    Five stars for freedom; four stars for Ron Paul – immigration would cause economic troubles? This is the argument used by enemies of freedom when attacking free trade.

    If you seek stable economic conditions, go Socialist! Capitalism is dynamic, unstable and unsafe. That’s what’s great about it!

    The debates minutes published by Madison talked about it in relation to prohibiting the naturalization of citizens for a period of time (between seven and nine years).

    Also, read Madison’s Federalist No. 42. He talks about the problems of the Articles of Confederation with individuals being classified as either “free citizens” and “free inhabitants” and the jurisdictional problems that incurs. That was his claim, in any case.

    Do you have proof of their intentions?

    That was intended to prevent British agents from immigrating en masse by giving congress the power who may become a citizen for voting purposes. It does not give congress power to restrict those people from entering the US.

    It does give Congress the power “To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization,” although I’m sure the Founders would have wanted a simple, uniform rule, and not the nuanced, bureaucratic nonsense we have.

    That’s a fair point.

    In the video, he said he voted against building a fence (starting at 3:08). Yet he did vote for a bill that included a 700-mile fence along the US-Mexican border, though he voted against the amendment to include the fence in the bill.

    Secondly, I don’t understand where in the constitution the federal government is given the power to enforce immigration. I know it did not in the original 13 states until at least the War of 1812.

    and since I can see where this conversation might go, I’d like to add that – I do not: think our country has ever been graced with a completely free market economy, not for any extended amount of time at least. Its always been perverted by fear and greed, which is our fault for letting it happen.

    I do: think that a truly free market is the best complimentary economic structure for dealing with human nature, assuming we maintain its integrity.

    he didn’t reverse, technically speaking. He said that he simply couldn’t continue supporting completely open borders without our country having a completely 100% free market, which it does not.

    Dude, that was 20 years ago.

    Being consistent for 20 years is something to boast about.
