Paul Ryan: ‘I will debate anybody’ who says immigration bill is ‘amnesty’
Yahoo News ^

"Earned legalization is not amnesty," Ryan said during a forum on immigration sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers. "I will debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress are amnesty. They're not. Amnesty is wiping the slate clean and not paying any penalty for having done something wrong."

Ryan pointed to provisions baked into the Senate bill from the beginning that require those in the United States to pay a fine, back taxes, undergo background checks and enter a years-long probationary period before earning citizenship, a process that can take up to 15 years.

"That," Ryan said, "is not amnesty."

If illegal aliens get to stay then it is amnesty. Period.

If Ryan is on board with it, it’s over. Turn out the lights, the party is over.

Paul, pick up the phone.

Joe Biden is calling about debating you.

You know, the guy that whipped your @ss in the VP debate.

Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crime, is amnesty. A path to citizenship is a bonus. Giving them green cards entitles them to all the benefits of citizenship except voting. They can receive welfare and entitlement benefits, SSNs, driver’s licenses, work permits etc.

It’s not like we didn’t already know we’d have amnesty regardless the outcome in 2012.

Ryan has managed to ignore that all of those “penalties” can be waived, ignored, or gamed.
Its amnesty.

Hey Ryan, SUCK IT!!! If you’ll debate anyone, then offer to debate Betsy McCaughey. Skinny little punk.

It’s amnesty and Ryan is disappointing sell-out.
