Really good read and I think it definitely more accurately portrays Rand's position.

Rand Paul is NOT in Favor of Restricting Muslim Immigration

Well, that's a shame.

 

[Jan2017]

an excerpt . . .

Peaceful Muslim countries which have been able to contain their extremist elements will not be affected.

These proposed actions are certainly not novel, and in fact, a similar bill was proposed by Ron Paul in 2003.
Entitled the Terror Immigration Elimination Act of 2003, the elder Paul’s proposal was created “to limit the issuance of
student and diversity immigrant visas to aliens who are nationals of Saudi Arabia, countries that support terrorism,
or countries not cooperating fully with United States antiterrorism efforts.”

"Duh" is right.

Ron Paul introduced this twice in fact - both in 2003, and then again in 2007.
