Mexican Invasion Title: Rand Paul Calls for An End to Sanctuary Cities, Says There Should be Populist ‘Revolution’ Against Unsecured Border As CNN notes, there is no strict legal definition of a sanctuary city, a term that advocates for mass immigration dislike for its revealing nature. The movement began thanks to American churches in the 1980s who welcomed illegal aliens from Central America purportedly fleeing violence from the Third World, much as they do today. Now, more than 200 state and local jurisdictions defy federal immigration law by refusing to detain illegal aliens who are usually caught in the commission of another crime for deportation. Conservatives say we believe in the rule of law, and the beginning of the rule of law is enforcing the law. Since 1986, there was a promise we would enforce the law on border security. Weve done squat. Weve done nothing
Eleven million people have crossed over illegally, Paul said on the Laura Ingraham show on Tuesday. So, the first thing we have to do is enforce the law. He added: But we have not had a president, Republican or Democrat, who is willing to enforce immigration law. Now we have whole cities and states who stand up and say, We just dont care. We want these people here at all costs, and were not going to do anything about it. And I think the times come for that to end. But its not going to end until you have an executive in the White House who says, I will enforce immigration laws. Ingraham noted that Americans are not safe from criminal aliens anywhere in the country, thanks to the sheer number who are here illegally. Paul agreed, calling for a grassroots uprising against President Obama and his administrations dismantling of immigration law: Well, it goes to the heart of the matter, because like I say, weve been promised this over and over again, and no ones enforcing the laws. The laws on the books say we should have a secure border, and we dont. Now, could we update the security? Yes. But even the existing laws need to be enforced, and theyre not being enforced. And theyre being flouted and basically laughed at by cities like San Francisco
Theyre ought to be a revolution of folks saying, We want you to obey the law, and making sure the president hears them loud and clear. Paul now joins candidates Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in calling for strict border controls to protect Americans from convicted felons such as Francisco Sanchez, who was deported five times yet sought out San Francisco deliberately because he knew he would not be deported from there no matter what previous offenses he had committed on U.S. soil. His stance also puts him significantly at odds with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Rubio played a pivotal role in pushing the Gang of Eight bill in 2013. An amended version of Rubios bill would have made it impossible to punish sanctuary cities that harbor dangerous illegal aliens like Sanchez by stripping federal funds from them. Had Gang of Eight become law, San Francisco would continue to receive blood money in the form of State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) payments, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would have struggled to even detain criminals like Sanchez. Poster Comment: Whenever you hear "the first thing" you need to worry about what the second and subsequent things are. Are Trump and Cruz any better in this regard, or are they pandering to the mentally handicapped too? Rand sounds good on this for the most part, but that "first thing" is a huge loophole.

Shut up Rand Paul. You ran away like a wuss when they asked you what you thought about Trumps clear pro American comments. If you call Rand Pauls office there is more proof he is a wuss. They used to answer the call. Now no matter when you call it says they are to busy to answer the phone. Rand Paul don't go away mad just go away.
