Sen. Rand Paul says some helpful things in his oped,"USA BEACON FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION" forBreitbart. But he clearly doesn't understand that the solution to illegal immigration is enforcement -- not "more immigration."
Paul writes:
Thanks to our current system, we have no way to properly accommodate people who want to come to this country to work.
No. The problem is that our current immigration system does not properly accommodate people who are already here (U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents) who want full-time work but can't find any. There are 18 million such persons.
Instead of calling for an immigration policy that incentivizes business to invest in the American workforce, Paul calls for
a system that expands legal immigration and our work visa program.
The U.S. already grants 1 million permanent work permits to immigrants ever year, plus an additional 700,000 temporary work permits to foreign guest workers. The idea of increasing these numbers while one in six Americans is on food stamps is beneath a politician who has presidential aspirations.
Whether you are a Paul supporter or not, please leave a comment to point this out.
Thank you,
JEREMY
