10 Outrageous Ron Paul Quotes

Perhaps one of the nuttiest theories Paul has ever shared with the public is his fear that fences built around the U.S. borders to keep out illegal immigrants could be used against American citizens in a sort of concentration-camp situation. In a GOP debate this September, Paul said, “I think this fence business is designed and may well be used against us and keep us in. In economic turmoil, the people want to leave with their capital. And there’s capital controls and there’s people control. So, every time you think of the fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us, keeping us in.” In the same debate, Paul is questioned about FEMA and whether the National Emergency Center Establishment Act could lead to detaining American citizens in camps during martial law. His response: “Yes, that’s their goal, they’re setting up the stage for violence in this country, no doubt about it.”
