Rand Paul on the migrant caravan: ‘They should be stopped at the border’

Published



Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday that the Trump administration should stop the caravan of more than 1,100 migrants headed toward the U.S. at the border, before they enter the U.S. and possibly find a way to remain in the United States.

“We’re a nation of immigrants, but we should not allow people, particularly 1,100 of them marching up, to basically sort of thumb their nose and say, ‘well, we don’t care what your laws are, we’re coming,'” Paul, R-Ky., said on Fox News. “They should be stopped at the border and sent home.”
