House of Cards: Paul Ryan’s Campaign to Mislead Voters on His Immigration Stance

Although New Year’s confetti is still being cleaned off the floors, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 56% already issued a statement that could easily be a contender for the most remarkable statement of 2016. In a Monday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Paul Ryan declared without a trace of humor that “People who know my record know that I’m for border enforcement, border control, not for amnesty.”

But a review of Paul Ryan’s record demonstrates a two-decade history of pushing amnesty and mass immigration. In fact, Ryan has developed perhaps the most open borders record in Congress– for members of either party. And Ryan was instrumental in blocking an effort to reduce immigration in the 1990’s, changing forever the course of American history.

In the interview with Tapper, Ryan was asked about criticisms levied against him by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for being “weak on immigration: “Frankly I’m disappointed that he’s weak on immigration, he’s weak on the border, and he’s in favor of amnesty, so I have my disappointments with him,” Trump said of Ryan.

Although Trump is indeed correct, Ryan told Tapper in response, “Look, I’m not taking the bait. I’m not going to get into the commenting about this and that… People who know my record know that I’m for border enforcement, border control, not for amnesty.”

Ryan’s declaration, which went unchallenged by Tapper, contradicts the entire history of Ryan’s career.

Lyin’ Ryan needs to be Cantorized.

He’s a Cheap Labor Express stooge who represents employers of illegal aliens, but no the citizens.
