RAND PAUL -
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 -

RAND PAUL -
[Marco] Rubio says we should collect all Americans’ records all of the time. The Constitution says otherwise. I think they’re both wrong. I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.
RAND PAUL -
If you give up your rights now, don’t expect to get them back.
RAND PAUL -
I don’t want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.
