Rep. Paul D. Ryan might have just given away the road map for House consideration of immigration reform.
“Tentatively, in October, we’re going to vote on a border security bill, an interior enforcement bill, a bill for legal immigration,” the Wisconsin Republican and Budget Committee chairman told constituents at a district town hall event Friday, according to a report by the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.
Ryan also reportedly said negotiations were underway for the chamber to vote on legislation that would provide undocumented immigrants with “probationary” visas while they waited a minimum of 15 years to attain citizenship.
The timetable is more than most members will volunteer at this point other than to say there won’t likely be any major action before the August recess, which kicks off in one week.
Lawmakers have also been reticent to discuss what specific bills will be brought to the floor and in what sequence as part of the GOP piecemeal approach to immigration reform.
The 2012 Republican candidate for vice president on Mitt Romney’s ticket and a rising star within the Republican Party, Ryan has only recently begun to lend his voice — and influence — to the chorus of calls to reform the nation’s immigration system.
Asked to confirm whether Ryan’s statements were accurate, a GOP leadership aide said there were “no scheduling announcements to make.”
If any amnesty bill passes, all taxpayers and law-abiding citizens should disregard all federal laws.
democrats are hardcore communists. they want government to ration everything and individuals own nothing and have no choices or freedom. that's called socialism/communism.
democrats especially the media reporters and ObAma, Pelosi etc. are not honest about who they are at all. democrats are pure evil liars
No, it’s not meant as a true defense of Ryan. I only mean to say that there were warning signs about this guy from the beginning. Same for Rubio based on his actions in the Florida legislature. This revelation that Ryan is worthless on immigration should not surprise anyone.
I don’t know if there was anyone Romney could have chosen as VP candidate that would have made a positive difference, but I hate that he chose Ryan because it has bolstered his position in the party. I hope his left wing views on immigration serve to tear him down within the party.
You know, if he betrays his base so easily and quickly—he’s probably got some skeletons in his closet. We know how narcissists can’t keep their zippers zipped. Just keep an eye out—if he cheats on his constituency for Zuckerbery money, he’s probably cheating in other ways. Then we might be able to get quickly rid of Ryan.
