One of the groups taking aim at Congressman Paul is the immigration policy lobby, NumbersUSA. NumbersUSA is an organization devoted to legislatively reducing the allowed level of annual immigration to pre-1965 levels, without country of origin quotas that were created by the Immigration Act of 1924. The NumbersUSA article describes Dr. Paul’s record on immigration as “mixed,” obviously intending that designation as an indictment of the Texas congressman. In the group’s 2012 Presidential Hopefuls Immigration Stances Report Card, Ron Paul was awarded a failing grade: an F. He was previously given a more respectable (though below average) C- and likely would have seen his marks improve were it not for Representative Paul’s “latest comments on immigration” and that they display “not just some ad hoc thoughts tossed off carelessly at some speaking event. These are engraved in a brand new book.”
The book wherein Dr. Paul lays out the details of his “mixed” immigration philosophy is entitled Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues that Affect Our Freedom.” In the chapter on immigration, Paul begins by describing the “ideal libertarian world,” wherein “borders would be blurred and open.”
In his inimitable fashion, Dr. Paul then goes on to provide a nuanced realpolitik analysis of the issue that apparently went unread by the NumbersUSA crew. MORE>>>

They're ripping him apart on so many issues...like yesterday the right-wing conservative evangelicals said he was promoting drug use because he wants to end the drug war. These wing nuts would rather see Obama reelected than have an honest many like Paul win the WH.

You know what pisses me off..... people are actually going to vote on the basis of this one issue, illegal immigration. Talk about "can't seeing the forest for the trees." It's just like someone voting for a candidate based solely on his beliefs about abortion. To me, there is a lot more important issues, for instance, the economy going down the crapper because of empire building all over the world for starters.
Talk about nit-picking bastards!
