FRANKFORT, Ky. — U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul says he opposes citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are illegal immigrants.
Paul, who a week ago won the GOP primary, told a Russian TV station in a clip circulating on political websites Friday that he wants to block citizenship to those children, even though the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizenship to everyone born in the U.S.
“I’m not opposed to letting people come in and work and labor in our country,” Paul said. “But I think what we should do is, we shouldn’t provide an easy route to citizenship.”
