We should be proud that so many want to come to America, that it is still seen as the land of opportunity. Let’s make it a land of legal work, not black-market jobs. Let’s make it a land of work, not welfare. Our land should be one of assimilation, not hiding in the shadows.

RAND PAUL -
Are you so afraid that you are willing to trade your freedom for security?
RAND PAUL -
I’ve heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines.
RAND PAUL -
America’s not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.
