Article from The Daily Caller by Nick Givas.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky claimed Tuesday on “Fox & Friends” that Congress will only call for votes if they already know the outcome in advance.
Paul was discussing immigration reform and said Congressional leaders had promised him an “open debate,” but did everything they could to stifle his proposed amendments.
“This is the sad thing about the Senate and Congress,” Paul said. “They will not vote on anything that they don’t count votes in advance and know it will be defeated. So they knew from the beginning nothing would happen. They devised the votes and would only allow votes that will actually fail. It was not an open debate.”
…
“We should not allow people, particularly 1100 of them marching up to basically thumb their nose, and say we don’t care what your laws are, we’re coming. They should be stopped at the border and sent home,” he concluded. “If it requires a change of law we should do it. But I think there is some leeway within the executive branch that they may be able to do it if they want to.”

Rand Paul´s accuracy and honesty is remarkable. Americans should be proud of this senator !
We need more with his American values, and fewer who pledge 1st allegiance to a foreign government.
I am baffled with these controversial tales we hear from news outlets, what is true and what is not. We need facts, Hillsdale College, Heritage Foundation, Project Veritas, Breitbart, the American People need a lot of facts, so the swamp can be rained, and our country saved from corruption. Can you’ll help in spreading and educating the Voters how to make their Votes count.
I am waiting for that communist SOB Barack Hussain Obama to get arrested, convicted for his many crimes and put in jail.
