[From August 21, 2014] Paul Ryan Suggests GOP Candidates in Midterms Should Run on Giving Illegals C

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.”

I don’t belong to the republican party.
It no longer exists.
AND
IF Trump doesn’t win, the political establishment, global government and the media will make sure we all get killed.
I for one, plan to go down shooting.

To: Democrats hate too much

“Message by Paul Ryan paid for by the donor class (pssst, their funding Cruz now)...”

You are so correct. The GOPe and Cruz are now hand in hand.

Paul Ryan has been out of the House since 2019. His term ended and he didn’t run for reelection.
But yeah, Ryan made Weeping John Boehner look competent by comparison.
