Paul Ryan Leading House for 'Amnesty' Deal
NewsMax ^ | June 29, 2013

Posted on 06/29/2013 1:41:35 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Paul Ryan, the Republican congressman and former vice-presidential candidate best known for his war on spending, is emerging as his party's leading champion of immigration reform in the U.S. House of Representatives.

With Senate passage of a sweeping immigration bill imminent, Ryan has been meeting with House conservatives to persuade them that reform of the immigration system, including a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, is an economic necessity and critical to fixing the nation's fiscal problems.

Ryan, a potential 2016 presidential contender, sees himself as a "bridge builder" between immigration advocacy groups and reluctant Republicans, he said in an interview with Reuters.

He argues that the immigration system is broken and must be overhauled. "It doesn't work for national security. It doesn't work for economic security," Ryan said.

This is the guy we have to fight, and soon.

I'm not sure if he's a traitor or just really stupid on this issue, but he's a big one to reckon with.

This guy is gonna be number one on my shyte list if he turns the House in favor of this thing. The House is this county’s last hope.

Not quite, the Governors could throw a huge monkey-wrench into the works. (We'd only need a few, and it'd be best if they acted fast though.)

No bill until the senate one lapses. They’d just bring it to conference and lose it there. Just say NO to any bill!

Lyin' Ryan tried to shovel this drivel *border security bs* to Mark Levin week before last. Mark was having no part of it. Lyin' Ryan was almost cryin'....he was NOT a happy camper, after Mark tore him apart.

NO SALE LYIN' RYAN....take your Amnesty schtick and get out of here!

How can this bunch be so out of touch with what is actually the best for America. Where do they get these crazy ideas that this will be good for any of us. How can they be so out of touch with the people. Even the polls show them the majority do not want this amnesty deal.

They’d better go home and attend the town hall meetings... and get a clue!!

Ryan has been SUCH a disappointment. So has Rubio. Who else is left that is not a turncoat? Cruz.

What in the world is in the water in Washington!!! They all seem to drink from the same fountain!

What part of NO don't they understand? Guess it ends with donor money.

Your children will live with your betrayal, Paul Ryan. Shame be upon you.

Another reason to NOT contribute a dime to these freaking RINOs! Ryan, Rubio, McCain et. al. can go pound dirt as far as I am concerned!

Ryan needs to receive a call from Palin describing what his future will be if he leads the effort to pass amnesty in the House. I wonder if he will care or if he has sold his soul to those who would end America?

Ryan is an idiot. He proved that in the last election. Anybody who can;t even beat that Court Jester Moron Biden in a debate is worthless.

He and his RINO buddies think they can sell the same damn defective product in the 2016 elections and win.

Make sure you contact all your Representatives and tell them they can take the GOP to hell as far you are concerned if this thing passes.

Ryan will probably be on all the Sunday shows tomorrow selling his plan.

I guess Paul Ryan wants to get a congratulatory call from Ubama like the one Rubio got.
