Ryan simply said we don’t need a special pathway to citizenship to fix our immigration system,” said the spokesperson, Kevin Seifert.

??? I was looking for some direct quotes from Ryan that contradict this (Ryan saying that illegals must have citizenship), but most of the articles say things like he is "working behind the scenes" or quote hearsay from characters such as Gutierrez. I listened to the Levin interview but didn't hear anything about citizenship vs. legalization.

"Paul Ryan says we cannot have a permanent underclass of Americans, that there needs to be a pathway to citizenship," says Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., who has been working relentlessly on immigration legislation. "He is my guiding light. I know I get him in trouble every time I say it."

Maybe Ryan is reacting to blowback? Did Gutierrez lie about Ryan?

Rand Paul was using this terminology months ago, and some others too.
They explain that the wait time makes the amnesty ‘unspecial’ because they must ‘get on back of the line’ when they wait that probation period.

The naivete of his statement considering our current ghetto situation is appalling.

I have no direct recent quotes, but the man was starting to make a fool of himself just like Rubio did. He's been too long in DC; if he doesn't learn to stfu about this issue, he needs to stay home and lift weights on his own nickel........

Who knows? All either of them ever do is lie.
