Rand Paul: U.S. Should Monitoring ‘People Who Speak Arabic’

Not a very Libertarian point of view.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said on Friday that the United States government spends “billions of dollars scooping up” Americans’ phone records when it should be focusing more of its resources on Arabic speakers.
“We spend billions of dollars scooping up all the phone records of millions of Americans and sending them to Utah, to a multi-billion-dollar science-fiction sort of headquarters there, to house all these records, when in reality what we ought to do is maybe spend more time on people who speak Arabic, people who are looking at public avenues and public access to see who are the ones talking and might want to harm us,” Paul told radio host Dave Price.
