Donald Trump’s endorsement of ending birthright citizenship has not turned Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) off of the idea.
The Kentucky senator — who co-sponsored a bill attacking birthright citizenship in 2011 but more recently has dodged questions on the issue — told the Washington Post that birthright citizenship is “probably not” a “good idea.”
“If you are looking at border security, and we’re going to have a secure border, then I’m not sure we need to change citizenship,” Paul said while on a trip to Haiti this week. “Birthright citizenship is a beacon for the world. So is what we did for the Dreamers. Birthright citizenship — it is what it is. That’s the way the law has been interpreted. But is it a good idea to do that with an open border? Probably not.”
Open border? Is that what he thinks we have?
Gosh, did Rand just miss an opportunity to slam Trump?
What a bunch of gobble-de-goop!
Such libertarian, so liberty
Libertarians believe in government borders? Who knew?
