Ron Paul Signs 'Numbers USA' Pledge to Oppose Amnesty and Secure America's Borders

"The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation
without secure borders is no nation at all."
ARLINGTON, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Today, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron
Paul signed the Numbers USA pledge. The pledge reaffirms Congressman
Paul's longstanding opposition to amnesty and support for securing the
borders.

Dr. Paul has introduced a six-point plan to deal with the current
illegal immigration problem. On the subject, he has said: "The talk
must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure
borders is no nation at all."

Congressman Paul has received the endorsements of many groups and
leaders that oppose illegal immigration. A list of such endorsements

Below is the Numbers USA pledge:

I pledge to oppose amnesty or any other special path to
citizenship for the millions of foreign nationals unlawfully present
in the United States. As President, I will fully implement enforcement
measures that, over time, will lead to the attrition of our illegal
immigrant population. I also pledge to make security of our borders a
top priority of my administration.

Numbers USA includes six points of understanding as to what the
pledge means and what it entails:

1. The 12 million illegal aliens now here will have to go home.

2. They will not get any legal status while here that allows them
to remain long-term.

3. Once in their home countries, they may apply for re-admittance
to the U.S. as immigrants, visitors or temporary workers through
normal channels.

4. But they will not receive any special privileges on the basis
of their having been in the U.S. illegally, such as being put to the
front of a line.

5. There will be no new categories or programs through which they
may re-enter.

6. There will not be an expansion of green cards in any existing
categories that will speed up their movement to the front of the line.
