Senator Paul Explains His Position On Immigration
Any immigration reform must expand legal immigration and the work visa program so that we don’t find another 12 million undocumented workers here a decade from now. The Gang of Eight bill actually decreases the number of visas for agricultural workers. Haven’t we seen this movie before? If work visas are less than what the market demands, the workers will come illegally — and we’re right back where we started.” Senator Paul introduced an amendment that was voted down which he called “Trust But Verify Act.” This amendment would make immigration reform happen only if Congress wrote a strong border plan that they would vote on every year or five years. The plan would also mean the completion of a double-layered border fence, two new national security visa screening programs, and protection against the Obama administrations attempt to force Americans to carry a biometric national identification card.
