IB asking Ryan about “immigration” (GOP should reject the premise that immigration needs reform)

Ryan says House rejects the Senate bill.

Secure border first, legal permit, no special pathway. If they want citizenship, they go the back of the line after legal immigrants.

Translation: Ryan supports amnesty. He is using the same language McCain used for his amnesty bill in 2007.

Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers to stay and work here, the object of their crime, is amnesty. Citizenship is just the cherry on top. And the back of the line is in their home country, not here.

Ryan is no better than Rubio.

Where that argument is faulty is in their going to the back of the line -- if they want citizenship.

Many of them do not want citizenship. They just want a job, and income, possibly FED benefits, so they can live and probably send some money back home.

The citizenship canard is about as flakey as the secure the border canard.

So, why are so many politicians pushing amnesty? Well, Rubio supposedly got $3 million from big business donors right after the Senate amnesty bill passed.
