Can’t you just sum up what he said :)
And he’s right. We’ve been voting for slightly less bad RINOs forever.
That is the entire Establishment Republican theme.
Rand Paul is only slightly less bad than a RINO, he still isn’t for a fence and enforcement on illegal aliens.
Do you mind if i send this to randfan and ask if he has an opinion on this?
He seems to be the rand expert
Not at all.
Seems he will see it anyway, it’s his thread.
All the Rand fan boy threads are his.
I don’t support anyone who does not support the rule of law.
There are very few that do in the US Senate.
You’re flat out wrong. Here’s some of Rand’s positions on immigration and the border:
Rand Paul Opposes Amnesty, Supports Securing Borders, and Reforming Legal Immigration
There’s no question our country has been enriched by those who come to our country seeking the American Dream and a chance at a better life.
But millions of illegal immigrants continually crossing our border without our knowledge threatens our national security.
That’s why, as a U.S. Senator, I’ve opposed amnesty and fought hard to secure our borders while most in Washington, D.C. offer nothing but talk.
SECURE THE BORDERS. NO MORE GAMES.
I’ve also introduced legislation that would make immigration reform conditional on Congress voting on whether the border is secure, requiring completion of a border fence in five years and stopping the federal government from establishing a national identification card system for citizens.
My “Trust but Verify” amendment requires Congress to write and enforce a border security blueprint rather than relying on bureaucracies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, to come up with a plan.
This amendment also would provide new national security safeguards to track the holders of student visas and those provided asylum and refugee status.
I also believe we should streamline the process for those immigrants who seek to jump through all the hoops required to enter the U.S. legally.
Legal immigration is a tremendous benefit to our country.
But in order to protect our nation and reform the immigration process, we must know who is and is not entering our country. That cannot be done without securing our border.

Dr. Rand Paul Introduces the PACT Act, Legislation to Stop “Sanctuary Cities” from Harboring Criminal Illegal Aliens
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul introduced legislation that would prevent “sanctuary cities” from harboring violent and dangerous criminal aliens, known as the Protecting American Citizens Together Act (PACT Act). The PACT Act would require state and local law enforcement to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the arrest of an illegal immigrant and detain an illegal immigrant if requested to do so by ICE. Additionally, if the Bureau of Prisons receives a request from ICE to transfer an illegal immigrant to their custody, that request will take priority over the request from state and local agencies. Under this legislation, localities will be required to follow the new requirements as a condition of receiving federal law enforcement grants.
“Our nation now has whole cities and states who stand up and willingly defy federal immigration laws in order to protect illegal immigrants who have broken our nation’s laws. This must end and it must end now. My bill makes it clear, the American people will not stand for cities harboring violent criminals,” Sen. Paul said.
Like most of them, Rand wants to wait until illegal aliens have harmed or killed Americans before they are removed.
ALL illegal aliens are criminals, they MUST break laws DAILY in order to further their illegal presence.
We should not wait until they are caught committing violent crimes here before they are removed.
Legal immigration needs to be reduced, not expanded or streamlined.
