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.

Proof that Paul Ryan has fallen off the cliff.
Nobody I know will vote for anything but deportation and one hell of a fence that only a fool would challenge.
Ever notice Ryan’s head? He’s got a nerd haircut and a really ugly face. I understand his brain is shaped like a tortilla and the gas he passes smells like rancid pinto beans.
No wonder he would make a statement like he did!
Which is it Paul?
Ryan is despicable.
They don’t want to win an election ever again, do they?
Wait, what? In the debates, Romney said all of them should be deported. Are you telling me that Romney’s a flip-flopper?
Heh.
You can never trust a TARPer.
Years ago I used to like this nitwit. Screw you Ryan. If our choices are people like you, I see no future.
No Willard said they would “self-deport”
He just never explained what would make the illegal aliens suddenly rush South to the border...
:)
Es un gilipollas.
Well, he clearly threw that debate. That told us all we needed to know about Ryan. Somebody owns him.
Unmitigated jackass bought and paid for by the Chamber of Amnesty.
Hey Paul, how about worrying about actual citizens in the middle class that you corrupt idiots in DC are destroying on a daily basis.
“...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....”
Go to the back of the line where Paul?
Another BS sound bite.
Ryan is violating his oath to our Constitutional and he should be prosecuted and put in jail. Along with McCain and Grahamnesty. Selective law enforcement appears to be a fad these days.
I guess it’s as good a theory as any but Ryan is getting to be a one-trick-pony and if he doesn’t shut the bleep up about amnesty/reform he’s going to alienate the regular white guy vote and find himself in the washed out Rino home for retired losers. I lost interest in the guy when he just couldn’t say anything meaningful in the last preezy election.
Apparently not. Mostly, they just want to be reasonably certain of being reelected, even into the minority.

Ditto!
Secure the borders.
Deport illegal aliens.
After that,and only after that,can we seriously talk about “comprehensive immigration reform”.
And I’m so glad Jeff Sessions is my Senator and Mo Brooks my Congress Critter and NOT YOU Paul Ryan. He might as well stick a double DD beside his name, Democrat and Dumb.
Ryan and anyone he supports can go to hell!
