I know you are saying that isn’t the Senator Rand Paul you know now, but it was the Senator Paul in the wake of the discovery of Iraqi refugee terrorists found in his home town and convicted in Kentucky just a few years ago.

Did Grover Norquist get to Rand and tell him to shut up about Iraqi refugees in addition to urging him to support amnesty?
Here is ourcomplete archive in which we mention Paul’s statements on refugees. Please note that his home town of Bowling Green is completely swamped with refugees and we have alengthy archive on problems there as well.
