Ron Paul Group Slams Immigration Reform Bill

On Tuesday, John Tate, the president of the Campaign for Liberty, compared the immigration reform bill to the federal health care bill supported by President Barack Obama. The Campaign for Liberty is chaired by former Congressman Ron Paul who made two bids for the Republican presidential nomination and was the Libertarian Partys presidential candidate in 1988.

Its been just over a year since the U.S. Supreme Court signed off on the 2,700-page Obamacare monstrosity as somehow constitutional. Now, statists in both parties in Congress are working hard to ram another 1,200-page horror down our throats, Tate wrote supporters on Tuesday.

Tate insisted the immigration reform bill was actually a massive new National ID database plan and a massive federal power grab.

The Campaign for Liberty is launching the No Database Directive as they try to stop the immigration reform bill from passing the U.S. House.

This is exactly the type of battle that often decides whether a country remains free or continues down a slide toward tyranny, Tate insisted. Of course, the most dangerous part of the bill is the biometric tracking technology. Gun ownership, health records, purchasing habits, religious beliefs virtually anything you could dream up could all be added to this massive National ID database. And doing so wouldnt even require a vote by Congress. Instead, it could happen with a simple stroke of a presidents pen.
