No Tough Questions For Rand Paul Over His Immigration Plan
POSTED BY BRIAN -19PC ON MARCH 21, 2013 · FLAG

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on Your World yesterday to promote
his 2016 presidential run discuss his immigration plan.


He said “Yes, I am for immigration reform, but my amendment to the
bill will be something called “trust but verify,” which says that
we have to secure the border, and that we have to have a report
that’s voted on by Congress each year in order for immigration
reform to go forward.”

Neil Cavuto asked, “So how is that or is it different from Marco Rubio’s plan?”

Paul said, “It’s going to include some of the same things that
(Rubio's) bi-partisan group has, so I’m not necessarily in
disagreement with what they are doing.
And in fact, I don’t think they have a new pathway to citizenship.
I think their bill, like my bill, would say that you don’t have to
go home …but you do have to get in line, the same line as someone
in Mexico City.
…Not the front of the line, the same line that already exists.
..What I’m saying is if you’re willing to work and you don’t want
to come here for welfare but you want to work, we’re going to find
a place for you in America.”

Cavuto asked if undocumented immigrants coming here see would then
see “no risk to doing so” because there will be “an incentive down
the road to getting in that line?”

No, Paul said. “Any of the reforms are going to say you’re going to
have been here a certain period of time, and they’re also going to
say that there’s a window that closes.
…I don’t know what the window’s going to be 1 year or 2 years.
…We need to fix the system so we can have all legal immigration and
have no illegal immigration.”

As Outside the Beltway pointed out - but Cavuto did not -
Paul's plan is problematic, even for Republicans:

By requiring that something as amorphous as “border security” would
have to be certified before any of the other parts of the plan
could go into effect, Paul is essentially proposing a plan that
would never really work. For one thing, there really doesn’t seem
to be any clear idea of what “border security” actually is. Does it
mean real reductions in illegal crossings?
Well, if that’s the case, then how exactly are we going to be able
to determine that this is the case?
Those people in Congress opposed to legalization of illegal
immigrants will clearly use these Congressional votes to block
implementation of those provisions of the law dealing with
normalization. Given the current makeup of Congress, it’s fairly
easy to see how even a small group of Republican hardliners could
hold immigration reform hostage by claiming that the border still
isn’t “secure.”
That isn’t reform, it’s a guarantee for legislative gridlock.
As far as the fortunes of the Republican Party go, such an outcome
would only serve to further alienate Latinos from the Republican
Party.

Cavuto should have asked Paul about that.
