IMMIGRATION EXPERT: PAUL RYAN MOST 'OPEN BORDERS PERSON IN CONGRESS'
Breitbart ^ | Dec 6, 2013 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/06/2013 9:00:01 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) executive director Mark Krikorian said on Thursday that House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is by far the most open borders-minded member of the U.S. Congress—even more so than Democrats like Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), who is aggressively and publicly calling for President Barack Obama to halt deportations of illegal aliens. "Paul Ryan is probably the most ideologically committed open-borders person in Congress. I would say even more than the Democrats,” Krikorian said in an interview with American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios, One News Now reports. One News Now’s Chad Groening added that Krikorian explained that “Ryan's support is not based on money but is a ‘quasi-religious principle’ that limiting the number of people allowed into the United States is wrong.” “Even though Krikorian believes Republicans like Boehner and Ryan would like to pass an amnesty bill, he still doesn't think they'll be able to get it done this year,” Groening wrote.

In response to Krikorian's comments, Ryan's office provided Breitbart News with a series of pro-border security statements he released on his website earlier this year.

"We need to secure the border," Ryan said in one of them. "We are in an age of national-security threats of transnational terrorism. We have drug cartels that are trying to ship drugs in to pollute the lives of our children. We need to secure the border."

According to a July report from the Associated Press’ Donna Cassata titled “Dems pin immigration hopes on GOP's Ryan,” Democrats from President Obama to Gutierrez noted they were relying on Ryan to fulfill their amnesty agenda.

“Paul Ryan says we cannot have a permanent underclass of Americans, that there needs to be a pathway to citizenship,” Gutierrez said, as the AP quoted him...

Take your statements and shove em somewhere. Votes are the only things that count.

I get so depressed thinking about all of the harm that 0bama has done to our country. I am always looking for a silver lining to the dark clouds. The closest thing to a silver lining is the fact that a Romney presidency would have been almost as bad as the 0bama presidency.

More Nuns on the Bus Catholic Social drivel from Ryan. Whenever you hear this stuff about how amnesty is almost a religious principle and not about the money, you’ll find catholics aligned with leftists trying to be their brother’s keeper by assassinating the good half of their family to feed the bad half. Every society has a permanent underclass, ours is filled to the gunwales with welfare bums Oprahfied into believing they’re special in some way, and if they work - it is only to ensure they receive 17 other benefits from Uncle Bam. As a WASP male I’ve been at the back of the bus my whole 53 year’s of life. He can go be a missionary on Pope Frannie’s dime if he wants to save the world. Screw him!

Ryan worked for Kemp in 1994, when they both supported welfare for illegal aliens. This isn’t conservative or libertarian. It’s crony corporatist.

I am pretty convinced that if Romney had won we would have had some gun control after the Sandy Hook shootings.

Isn’t that special? The elites of both parties are working together against average Americans. There is not much difference between GOP-E and teh ‘Rats.

Ahhh, you bring back such fond memories. How could they have lost?
Recall the GOP debates:
Romney on immigration: I'm for "self-deportation January 24, 2012,

That Romney had more positions then we could keep track of.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the "fold" long ago converted entirely to wolves. The "sheep" have been disenfranchised and isolated. The Republican party became the Democratic party, while the Democratic party became the Communist party. I think it all happened while we were asleep during the Bush masquerade. (He was masquerading as a conservative who really cared about America.)

I don't know where the Republican party went. Maybe to Chatanooga?

Probably cant.

So he claimed they would all get fed up and go *home* on their own.

Why would they do that? They get lots of stuff for being here.

we must find a path to citizenship”

Romney flipped more vthan Kerry did.

I been hearing we need to secure the borders since 1986 to current day.10 years from now they will still be saying the same thing — we need to secure our borders.
