Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year’s midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country’s illegal immigrants.
Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) to get House Republicans to support a broader immigration bill, said that he was “having problems” convincing conservatives to support immigration reform, which he said was “very important.”
In a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg News, Ryan said he supported a “path to legalization” for all of the country’s illegal immigrants. He said illegal immigrants should be able to “earn citizenship” after they go to the back of the line and not cut in front of legal immigrants.
When asked if he was saying that if illegal immigrants “do a series of things,” they “can stay here legally forever,” Ryan replied, “They can always get a work permit that is renewed indefinitely.” When asked if he would “like to see Republican candidates run on that in this election cycle,” Ryan replied, “I’m putting it right here in my book.”

Paul Ryan was installed as Speaker by the Freedom Caucus.
The Freedom Caucus was membership was by invitation only, and was the brainchild of: none other than Sen Cruz.
Where do we get people like this. How could a politician pick a platform so unpopular, across both parties? What an idiot.
Ugh!
I was wrong Ryan isn’t a RINO he is a Dino, a Manchurian Dino posing as a GOPe.
This guy is a do nothing POS.
He’s auditioning to be the next McCain.
Of course this is the same position Trump had on the issue at the time, all the way up until just before he announced, and he blasted Romney for being too tough on immigration and blamed it for his loss, and pushed the GOP to adopt comprehensive immigration reform...but that’s okay...because Trump and because winning...TDS and all that.
Message by Paul Ryan paid for by the donor class (pssst, their funding Cruz now)...
Breirbart got the very beginning part wrong, so here’s the correction:
Rep. Paul Ryan (D-WI)
Giving illegals citizenship status OBLITERATES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OVERNIGHT by giving the Democrats a larger voter majority in the USA. FUPR!
We get people like Ryan because money and power is very corrupting. Ryan is a for-rent d-bag and if he is pushing for Cruz I am definitely going to vote Trump.
“Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes...”
That’s problem one.
Ryan, you suck.
Paul Ryan was installed as Speaker by the Freedom Caucus.

Right around the same time Cruz was colluding with Ryan to get TPA passed. They seem to do a good job working together.

It makes one wonder if Representative Ryan has some information he does not want divulged. Either that or he was a corporate globalist plant, always.
Hey Ryan, you are rewarding criminals! They broke the law. There is something called Rule of Law. There is something called the US Constitution. You are violating your oath of office. Furthermore you are causing risk to national security. You belong in jail, you bastard.
The fundamental issue is Rule of Law. Start there and everything else dissolves.
This issue, illegal aliens being immune from our laws, was what got the weasel Eric Cantor Cantorized out of his seat
