A CA Ron Paul Supporter Comments On His Strengths And Weaknesses

Re: Marcus Epstein’s Column:
Ron Paul--The Good, The Bad And The Idiosyncratic
My biggest concern about
Ron Paul is his support of “the free exchange of
labor” Paul just doesn’t get it---yet.
Americans are
losing jobs to foreigners who simply should not be
allowed to fill them. Our educated middle class is dying
in the face of unwanted, foreign competition that we
don't need. Perhaps Paul's bad information is because
Americans hurt by
H1-B and L1 visas have not met with him or his staff
to explain the harmful results of such naive policies.
While campaigning in
San Francisco,
Paul
said that if foreigners come here "voluntarily"
(yes, he used that word) to work and find a job, they
should be allowed in. The realization that such people
would be taking jobs from Americans has not hit Paul.
At several points in his speech,
Paul
referred to Americans as "consumers". He believes
"consumers" (market forces) will decide who
should enter and work in the US. But that puts cheap
labor corporate greed-mongers in the driver's seat of
our immigration policy.
Paul needs to realize that
Americans are “citizens,” not merely “consumers.”
Furthermore, Paul
must understand that most Americans consider even legal
immigration an invasion of our nation; an undeclared
war, and adding that unskilled, uneducated,
high fertility immigrants goes against the people’s
will.
As a doctor, Paul seems oblivious to the reintroduction
of deadly
diseases brought by his "voluntary" foreign
workers that had either been eradicated, or simply did
not exist in America, before open borders. Why should we
import and be exposed to these?
Paul's comment in the
Univision Spanish-language debate that Americans are
"jealous" if they are not bilingual troubles me.
I speak Spanish, and yesterday had two
Safeway
workers whom I asked for help decide to speak Spanish to
each other while I stood there. In Spanish, I asked why
they did not speak English. Their nasty, surly replies
and sneers displayed their contempt for me.
My advice to them: This is our nation:
speak our language.
All other Republican and Democrat candidates are
far worse than Paul on immigration and foreign
workers, despite their empty promises.
Paul's
trump card is his support of the
Constitution, the
Bill of Rights and national sovereignty. Without a
nation, none of the rest matters.
