i recently lost my job. i've worked 17 years in the construction business. the broken economy cut my legs off but these illegal immigrants are burying me.myself and my family, we came here legally and waited our turn. i can't possibly make an honest living when i compete with their slave wages. what would the good doctor say to me about this?

Offer a bounty
for illegals, the Fed can print some more worthless dollars to pay a bounty.
Get American citizens working again.
you are falling into the game
divide and conquer
We have massive problems in monetary policy and foreign policy. We can try to blame it on brown people all day long but nothing will change until we address the Fed money system and our trillion dollar a year empire. If a non immigrant is willing to work for less than you will you blame all of your problems on them?
*cough*
just over 5 days of being here... Chances are that at this point, everyone should know what Dr. Paul's stances are.
Us too,
my husband is a bricklayer. Remember Daschle saying about the immigration thing he did, that it will only affect bricklayers? Well he was not liked too much by bricklayers, and they are affected by them. In Big Sky, Montana, where the elite party, almost all of the work is done by illegal immigrants, thereby keeping work from locals and other natives. No sign of ANY law checking for green cards.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I think would say, or agree, with something like the following:
The welfare/warfare state drains resources from the economy because it's supported by taxation. That taxation reduces the number of jobs being created in the economy, due to being a reduction of investment resources. In addition, immigrants come here to receive welfare benefits, further increasing the need for more taxation to give welfare benefits for citizens. Without the welfare (and warfare) state, the economy would be much better, because there would be less taxation because there would be a smaller government to fund. This would leave more wealth in the private sector, which allows more jobs to be created, and created faster. Therefore businesses would be competing more for labor, instead labor having to compete for jobs. So wages would be rising, even with the immigration.
But we don't have limited government. We have big government. Economic growth and job creation is slowed as a result. Therefore, we have to regulate the border to keep immigration slow enough to keep up with job creation.
I think he would agree with this.

Don't feel alone bro I was born in this country and they
have hurt me and everyone I know also. I also work in construction and have been out of work all summer do to the illegal workers and my government crashing the dollar. I can't even draw my unemployment because they told me I would have to let them do a profile on me and enter me in the database. I turned and walked out the door. On the way out a guy says if you don't do it you will not get a check. I told him to shove his check in his ass. Its been tough but I am never caving to the NWO no giving up info to them for me. They have reached my limit I don't give out info or give up biometrics even if I starve to death. That is where I draw the line. Its non negotiable. Good luck to you and your family I wish you the best fellow patriot.
Is this an immigration problem or a budget problem?

This sounds pretty much right...
Although, I heard in one of his interviews that he would not go as far as Tom Tancredo on the immigration issue. But he didn't explain where he thought Tom went too far...probably the fence.
I struggle with this issue, not because I have lost work, but there seems to be a certain forgetting of history. I mean the folks that landed on the Mayflower, what makes them different than the people crossing the Rio Grande? We booted out the indians, but can't stand the idea of sharing with the Mexicans? Something doesn't seem right...and yet, if we don't uphold the laws on the books, than this revolution hasn't done the one thing we set out to do...which is force our govt. to uphold the rule of law-the Constitution...
Dr. Paul's stance on
Dr. Paul's stance on immigration, as I understand it, is that we simply ought to follow the law.

He is very much against entitlements
He is very much against it. He wants to do away with anchor babies for illegals. He wants to do away with any benefits being provided for them. This will be a disincentive for them to come here.
But the biggest problem is the stinking economy and the Fed. If we could solve that, we wouldn't be worried about them. That is what he wants to do. He wants to quit rewarding them for being here and fix the economy so we won't care.

Not to speak for him, but my understanding
is that he is against illegal immigration and for legal immigration. He thinks that if the economy was healthy, the way it should be, the entire immigration issue would never have become this huge problem. He thinks our entitlement programs pull in illegal immigrants. He thinks the laws that were on the books to begin with should have been enforced and then they would not be here like this. But the truth is that today's government agenda of globalism, elimination of borders, economy balancing, proves that our government is fine with the illegals coming in. I don't think he likes that stupid fence, but at this point, anything to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. The absence of a fence is not the problem. The problem is what we give them when they get here. Like we let them take over our language, for starters. Heck, our congressmen sit in their offices in the US and make policy for the Mexican economy while we pay them to do it.
Ron said you don't need the
Ron said you don't need the fence just take away all the social programs like free health care, free education and welfare and they won't come!... you won't need a fence!
