Paul Says 'Non-People' Shouldn't Get Tax Credit

In a Senate floor speech, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) described undocumented immigrants as not “legitimate” people while making the case that they should not be given access to federal child tax credits, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Paul: “If you want to apply for money from the government through the child tax credit program, then you have to be a legitimate person. It has nothing to do with not liking immigrants. It has to do with saying, taxpayer money shouldn’t go to non-people.”

The guy is not relevant and never offers a practical solution. He only finger points, blames others and should never hold public office.
He's useless as a legislator, and should have his own Jerry Springer style low-ratings cable tv show.

Ok...I'm declaring Rand Paul/Mitch McConnell and every house/senate republican member non-people (considering the whole Republican Party and their minions are without hearts and souls this isn't really a stretch) so no pay check for you, no insurance for you, no health care for you...assholes all of them!
