In spurning immigration patriots, he has blundered.
Congressman Ron Paul’s apparent entry into the presidential race will certainly be welcomed by many on the anti-Establishment “Alternative Right”. Paul’s heterodox views on foreign policy and the Federal Reserve, along with his consistent opposition to government spending, had earned him an army of loyal supporters since before his long-shot presidential campaign in 2008.
(Indeed, VDARE.com columnist and patriotic immigration reform leader Rev. Chuck Baldwin has just proclaimed: “The Tea Parties Now Have Their Man.”)… Ominously, Paul begins by trying to triangulate between the Open Borders Left and a non-existent restrictionist straw man.
Thus his immigration chapter opens: “There seem to be two extreme positions on immigration: completely closed borders and totally open borders.”
