The point of my argument was that there are two Senators who are unapologetically against the welfare state in almost every facet. One of them is Rand Paul and the other is Mike Lee. If everyone in the Senate held the views of these two Senators, we wouldn't have a federal welfare state. The federal welfare state, and its subsidization of state welfare systems, is what primarily attracts illegal immigrants here. Without these taxpayer subsidized incentives, we wouldn't have hordes of illegals trying to get into this country.

And the point of my argument is, it doesn’t matter if it’s the welfare state, or if we offered each illegal alien 100K and 72 virgins, the vote Rand took was to slow the flow of illegals across our border, whether they were coming for welfare, or to buy a snickers bar. Paul found a reason to not support that effort.
