A Rasmussen Reports survey released in August of this year found that likely Republican voters, by greater than a 4-1 margin, support Donald Trump’s plan to build a border wall (70 percent vs. 17 percent). Amongst all likely voters, a majority (51 percent) support building the border wall.

Congress promised the American people a 700-mile border fence in the 2006 Secure Fence Act. However, funding for the project was subsequently gutted and, as a result, construction was never completed.

While Paul Ryan’s $1.1 trillion year-end omnibus spending package was able to allocate funding for immigration programs that benefit foreign nationals— such as federal grants for lawless sanctuary cities and the U.S. resettlement tens of thousands of refugees— his bill does not require an allotment of funds be spent on the completion of the 700-mile-long fence that the American voters were promised.

On previous occasions, Ryan has repeatedly suggested that the American people are not entitled to discriminate against who enters their country on a visa. When Sean Hannity asked Paul Ryan about whether or not he would support curbs to Muslim immigration, Paul Ryan declared, “That’s not who we are.”

However, Ryan’s fence ensures that no refugees will be able to enter his property without his permission— even as U.S. communities are not able to make any such restrictions.

In 2013, when Ryan traveled with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) to stump for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) immigration agenda, Ryan declared that America “is more than our borders” and that the U.S. ought to have an “open door” system where foreign nationals can come and go as they please.

“America is more than just a country,” Ryan said. “It’s more than Chicago, or Wisconsin. It’s more than our borders. America is an idea. It’s a very precious idea.”

Hey hey, hey ho, Paul Ryan has got to GO !

[Paladin2]

Unelect Paul Ryno in 2016!

[Bratch]

"Fences for me but not for thee!"

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Ryan is Speaker, third in line to the presidency, and needs a fence for security. I don’t have any problems there. However, his actions so far as Speaker are treasonous to republican voters.

[MNJohnnie]

King Barack Hussein Obama the 1st:

I accept your unconditional surrender Mr Ryan, you may kiss my feet now.

[cabojoe]

Throw the bums out.

[miss marmelstein]

Have we heard from Ryan’s mentor, Bill Bennett, on his little puissant’s behavior?

[SpaceBar]

And to think this traitorous a-hole was the VP candidate four years ago. I’m starting to think that America actually needed Obama much the way that a drug addict needs to hit rock bottem before seeking help.

[joesbucks]

Why would it be in the budget. Mexico will be paying for it.

[Jeff Head]

Well, with the budget Ryan got on board with and passed, it fully funds what Obama asked for in all of the following areas (and probably more):

Obama Care
Planned Parenthood
Syrian Refugees
New Foreign work Visas

That right there says it all IMHO.

In terms of this first round with Paul Ryan, sorry to say it...but there it is. Despite Ryan’s high words...

“Old Speaker of the House Boehner...meet the new Speaker of the House, Ryan. They are acting the same.”

[chris37]

Wow!

Public servants make a sh!t ton of money apparently.

[TexasRepublic]

Do those fools really believe a little fence will shut out the storms of revolution when SHTF?

[Iron Munro]

Remember all the talk about what a smart and hard-line budget whiz Ryan was?

Maybe he was.....

“House of Representatives
Members of the United States House of Representative earned an annual salary of $174,000 in 2009 and 2010. In 2008, they earned $169,300.

Senators
The salaries of senators are identical those of members of the House of Representatives. The last year in which senators and members of the House of Representatives did not have the same salary was 1991, when members of the House earned $125,100 per year and senators made $101,900.

Exceptions
Three members of both the Senate and the House of Representative earn more than the rest of their colleagues. A salary of $193,400 per year is paid to those senators and representatives who serve as the Senate majority and minority leaders, the majority and minority leaders of the House of Representatives, and as the president pro tempore of the Senate. The speaker of the House of Representatives is the highest-paid member of Congress, with an annual salary of $223,500.”

The salaries are nothing, really. The real money is in, ahem, “contributions” from grateful constituents ... like the US Chamber of Commerce, the SEIU, La Raza, etc.

Nice work if you can get it. If you can’t, just vote and then go **** yourself.

[dforest]

We need our own protestors screaming at Paul Ryan’s house to “TEAR DOWN THAT WALL”. He should be forced to live as average citizens do.

[GraceG]

Get 20 truckers and some tow chains and “tear down his wall”.....

[Moonman62]

He has to protect himself from the riffraff who vote for Big Government.

[Revel]

As suspected...Ryan is just another infiltrator...And a very dark one.

[RginTN]

The uniparty’s power is solidified.

Vote Conservative. No compromise.
