The same document that where Paul stated: Paul is defining
the source of the problem.
Your statement, "He not only emphasizes citizenship but believes that
one shouldn't even be a natural born citizen" still goes
unsupported.
No it does not. He obviously thinks citizenship by birth is deeply rooted in this problem. In a way it certainly is, but not in his sense.

And Ron Paul does what other rightwing nationalists do -- blame the victims. If you take an honest look at "illegals" in the sluggish economy, they are experiencing the problem even worse than most legal citizens. The reason? Artificial social distinctions are created and maintained by both real and implied coercion -- the kind that Paul emphasizes as positive but which has nothing to do with libertarian ethics. That's why he wants the amendment. So it's not my statement that goes unsupported, but the statement that Ron Paul is a "libertarian." Ultimately, Paul stands brazenly against libertarianism, as anyone who understands the word could concede.
