So let me get this straight, Ryan was the last great hope to get the US economy straightened out by balancing budgets, cutting spending, and all that?
But now he supports legalizing those 20 million or so who are here destroying our economy by draining our social services, working under the table, not paying taxes, and cheating heartily on all manners of tax refunds they do not deserve? Does Ryan really believe if they are granted legal status that they will be so grateful that they will suddenly turn from plundering to playing a fair game?
How does that math add up, Paul?
Does it make a difference whether they are legal or illegal?
>> Illegals are working in jobs NOW
>> Illegals are voting illegally NOW
>> Illegals are getting food stamps NOW
>> Illegals are receiving free emergency hospital care NOW
>> Illegals are receiving pre-natal maternity benefits NOW
>> Illegals work for cash and pay no taxes NOW
>> Illegals are getting drivers licenses NOW in some states
Worst part is illegals do not need to register, so we have no idea who is here and where.
May be making available a legal permit to work, the system can collect taxes and get a handle on who is here and whether to eventually give them permanent status or deport them.
Ryan was never a godsend on budgets because his widely hailed plan (talk show hosts, Fox News etc.) envisioned a balanced budget ten plus years out.
We need an immediate downsizing of the government and the budget.
Ten years plus out is a political trick because the mess will get worse before then with austerity kicking in like in Greece and Spain.
Ryan is a business as usual RINO politician.
Now we know why mitt “the other kennedy” romney picked ryan... he is just a “mini me” of the progressive loser.

I have a feeling he is buying into the “I have to move to the left to be relevant in order to get elected in 2016” The same kind of sickness that affects every RINO. Same kind of sickness that affects even some FReepers here.
Paul Ryan is much like his late mentor Jack Kemp, all talk and no walk.
