Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year's midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country's illegal immigrants.
Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) to get House Republicans to support a broader immigration bill, said that he was "having problems" convincing conservatives to support immigration reform, which he said was "very important."
In a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg News, Ryan said he supported a "path to legalization" for all of the country's illegal immigrants. He said illegal immigrants should be able to "earn citizenship" after they go to the back of the line and not cut in front of legal immigrants.
When asked if he was saying that if illegal immigrants "do a series of things," they "can stay here legally forever," Ryan replied, "They can always get a work permit that is renewed indefinitely." When asked if he would "like to see Republican candidates run on that in this election cycle," Ryan replied, "I'm putting it right here in my book."
A plurality of Americans in multiple national polls have said they would be less likely to vote for candidates who support amnesty legislation.

Just when you think they can’t say anything more idiotic, they prove us wrong. I hope he runs in 2016, right alongside Romney, Christie, Jeb and any other delusional moderate. Split their money and votes.......seems to work....
Please sit down, shut up, and go away, Paul Ryan!
Thank you for your input, Mr. Ryan, now please return to the faceless grey world of economists and bean counters, where you obviously feel comfortable in. We need your brains for math, but we don’t need your advice on how to run the country.
Since I’m 1/4 Irish, Paul Ryan has left me no choice but to substitute “Labrador retriever” for “Irish” from now on.
Right after they all return to their home countries and get in line.
Has Ryan been taking some of Rand Paul’s crazy pills?
Not one dime’s worth of difference.
“Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year’s midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country’s illegal immigrants.”
Well Bless his Little Heart!!! He can Kiss my A** and go to Hell.
How about a pathway to citizenship for him in Mexico!!
Thanks Jim.
Yes...what you said.
It seems like a million years ago that we were all excited by the Romney’s choice of a running mate. It seems so surreal now.
I suggest that PR srould fix the budget.

—How is that different from current law on the books?
Ryan didn’t lose to Joe Biden... To be more precise, he lost to Joe Biden’s white teeth.

see Senore’ Ryan,
the optimum word here is ILLEGALS.
Course you and baboso’s like you only want to keep wages down so you want a never ending supply of cheep labor.
Senore’ Ryan, I was fooled in to voting for my Senator Rubio.
I will NOT be fooled by clowns and RINO’s like you again.
You think Paul Ryan is going to lose? He’s a permanent member of the ruling class. If conservatives win, and government shrinks, his people will be out of power.
Bye bye, Ron.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass as you GET THE HELL OUT!!
