Rand Paul

See, the compromise I'm offering is different than anybody's ever talked about.

Everybody thinks the compromise has to include voting and citizenship.

If in Texas we gave amnesty and let, I don't know, a couple million people vote, immediately Texas becomes Democrat for the next 20 years.

So that's what it's all about.

It's about voting.

We could change the law, but changing the law is difficult.

You know, I mean, you have to end up getting 60 votes, which means we need seven Democrats.

And it's part of the answer to immigration that makes it less of a burden on us is if we base our society on work, we put a wall around our welfare system, and we don't give it to people, refugees or immigrants, legal or illegal.

Nobody gets any.

And you have to come for work.

And what that does is you're going to select out for people who work.

And that's why I try to say, and not many people on my side will see this, say this, I think some of the best Americans just got here, frankly.

They have good work ethic.

They're hardworking people.

They work in our fields.

They pick our tomatoes.

They clean fish.

They work in chicken houses.

They do a lot of the dirty jobs in our country are done by immigrants.

And some of them are here illegally.
