forced his own party’s leadership to yank a bill off the floor of the Senate on Thursday over refugee housing, a significant political and policy victory for the Kentucky Senator and 2016 GOP presidential candidate.
Paul also blasted Senate leadership on Thursday for not considering his amendment to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funding bill that would have blocked any current refugees in the United States from getting public housing.
“Well I think what boggles my mind is the biggest issue in our country right now is keeping us safe from attack,” Paul told Breitbart News on Thursday afternoon when reached by phone. “My amendment tells the president that we don’t approve of bringing more people here from the Middle East until we have adequate controls on who’s here already. My amendment was not only pertinent to the biggest issue of the day, it was also germane to the bill. Both parties tried to stop me from offering it and that’s a tragedy.”

Good for Paul when we don't even give our Veterans and homeless housing. Refugees and illegals should not get these housing opportunities.
It's pretty sad that he has to fight his own party - although McConnell is showing his RINO stripes more every time we turn around.....WAPOS!
Adequate controls...good luck with that. They can't keep track of people who have overstayed their visas as it is.
Mitch is bad for the party. period
He's looking better all the time, keep it up and you will be President. Good for you.
Mitch is a Cancer of Republican Party and he got to go, sooner the better.
