Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Rand Paul hates the Patriot Act and NSA mass surveillance. Just don't ask him what he thinks of fellow Kentuckian Mitch McConnell's plan to keep both alive.
 
 
If Rand Paul is upset by Mitch McConnell's fast-track push to extend the Patriot Act and preserve government mass surveillance, he's not saying so.
 
The Republican presidential candidate loves to bash the National Security Agency's spying powers. He has pledged to end the NSA's bulk collection of U.S. call data "on day one" if voters send him to the White House. He's even sued the Obama administration on grounds that mass surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment rights of every American.
 
But Paul has so far refused to weigh in on a measure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell introduced late Tuesday that would extend unchanged the soon-to-expire provisions of the Patriot Act until 2020, thereby keeping the NSA call-records program intact.
 
Paul has not yet issued any statement about the McConnell bill, and his office repeatedly said the senator had no comment at this time.
 
The refusal to weigh in was also on display Wednesday night at an awards ceremony put on by The Constitution Project that honored Paul and Sen. Patrick Leahy for their commitments to defending civil liberties. Though Paul took time to blast the NSA—saying the Founding Fathers would be "mortified" by government snooping on Americans—he did not mention McConnell or the push for clean reauthorization in front of the friendly crowd. And he refused to take questions from reporters before or after the event— even during a seven-floor shared elevator ride with National Journal.

He's just another Washington insider claiming to be quite the opposite. He is even more difficult to consider as a serious candidate than Scotty Walker, if that's possible.

The patriot act is one of many reasons why if dc were nuked, I would celebrate. Screw the government.

Could Rand Paul be shying away from the press, to avoid talking about his son's recent DUI?
 
Seems Paul's son was "cited", but not arrested.
 
Were he an african-american citizen...we could be reading about his death while in custody of the police.

Everyone knows what I think of the RINO McConnell's actions.
