Rand Paul Slams Obama On Amnesty While Meeting with Guatemalan President

Here performing eye surgeries on blind Guatemalans for several days in the rural town of Salama, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) strongly criticized President Obama’s immigration policy in a closed-door Wednesday meeting with Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina.

“I told him, frankly, that I didn’t think the problem was in Guatemala City but that the problem was in the White House in our country, and that the mess we’ve got at the border is frankly because of the White House’s policies,” Paul said in an interview.

The meeting, he explained, was primarily about the humanitarian mission for which Paul—an ophthalmologist before running for the U.S. Senate in 2010—volunteered his medical services.

“We met for 45 minutes or so, mostly about the humanitarian mission—we talked about the surgeries and the people we met on the trip up there and my son doing a water project for the local school,” Paul told Breitbart News.

But when the conversation with President Molina turned to immigration, Paul let it fly at President Obama over his planned executive amnesty. The tens of thousands of Central Americans streaming across the southern U.S. border has been caused by Obama providing “magnets” for them to come, he said.
