Ron Paul says he's against amnesty for migrants without government papers. I am too. Amnesty is a pardon for wrong-doing. Why would migrants without government papers need a pardon? They've done nothing wrong. But in the spirit of the season, the migrants might consider granting amnesty to the government thugs who have hounded them since they got here.

Sheldon, have you ever been on the Mises forums. It's ridiculous.
LewRockwell.com does an article against the migrants almost every week. EVERY WEEK! And to top it off, look at this crap,

I've seen the disgusting commercial (and linked to it in the previous post). Thanks.
Still wondering why you are even contemplating supporting a presidential candidate, Sheldon. Especially Paul.
I still see net value in it.
Net Value. Hmm.
Uncertain results + good intentions - first principles = a sucker bet
I guess net value could encompass negative net value as well. I see your point.
Caution: those first principles are scarce and not easily recouped.
