Rand Paul Resurfaces . . . On Russian TV

Rand Paul has been boycotting interviews with the national media since they were so mean to him, but not the international media. He gave an interview to a Russian television network in which he says that he supports legislation to prevent citizenship to babies born in the U.S. -- the so-called anchor babies.

Of course, there's the problem of the plain text of the constitution. (Wait, I thought Paul venerated the constitution?) Take the fourteenth amendment's guarantee that anyone born in America is an American citizen ("All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.")

The genius of giving interviews to Russian television is that those journalists don't ask you about the little details, like the fourteenth amendment.

Again, you fail to do your homework. Paul gave that interview the day after the primary and he calls for a Constitutional Amendment to end safety for Anchor babies.

He also said it could be litigated in the courts.
