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.

FUPR!! TRAITOR!!
Bridges to the liberals will be burned by the liberals once the usefulness of the bridge builder is deemed to be used up.
Bridge builder my backside. Cross the bridge into Mexico and take the others with you. Permanently.

Ya can never trust a TARPer.
The Open Borders Lobby has found its “Rubio” in the House. Prepare to hear his voice on talk radio commercials for months.

Just because you don’t like a Ferry Ride, doesn’t mean you have to build a bridge.
Sometimes, the water flowing between us is just fine.
So Boehner is taking a bye on this, there is no way they can sift through the mess that was handed them, compromise is not an option.
Someone who is as confident this bill is what America needs right now as you apparently are should be able to easily win.
I am relishing the possibility.
