Changes

While serving in the Senate, Paul introduced legislation to make immigration reform conditional on Congress voting on whether the border is secure, requiring completion of a border fence in five years and a protection against the federal government establishing a national identification card system for citizens. His "Trust but Verify" amendment requires Congress to write and enforce a bipartisan border security blueprint rather than using bureaucracies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, to come up with a plan. The amendment also would provide new national security safeguards to track the holders of student visas and those provided asylum and refugee status.[https://www.randpaul.com/issue/immigration (RPW - I)]

Paul does not support the concept of "amnesty," but instead "supports legal immigration process." (RPW - I). If elected President, Paul would implement his "Trust but Verify" plan and apply pressure on the Department of Homeland Security to secure the border and produce an effective visa tracking system.[https://www.randpaul.com/issue/immigration (RPW - I)]

*Replace current path to citizenship with work visas for illegal immigrants: supports "probation" followed by "assimilation," putting undocumented immigrants on an eventual track to either permanent legal status (a green card) or citizenship*Immigrants get a temporary "work visa" but are not put ahead of anyone waiting to enter the country
