Paul Ryan has signed off on a letter promising restless members of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) that he won’t bring immigration-reform legislation to the House floor while President Obama remains in office.
The letter, obtained exclusively by National Review, formalizes pledges that Ryan made last week in a closed-door meeting with select members of the HFC who were skeptical of his promise to maintain an “open” and “inclusive” relationship with the caucus. Specifically, it extracts Ryan’s word that he will not bring up comprehensive immigration reform “so long as Barack Obama is president” and, as speaker, Ryan will not allow any immigration bill to reach the floor for a vote unless a “majority” of GOP members support it.
Alabama representative Mo Brooks wrote the letter and will enter it into the Congressional Record on Tuesday morning. He says his intention was to record the pledges Ryan made in the meeting and earn Ryan’s confirmation that the record was accurate, so he could vote for the Wisconsin Republican in good conscience come the congressional-floor election that will determine the next speaker.
It’s been widely reported that Ryan has promised to uphold the second promise in the letter — the so-called “Hastert Rule,” which is designed to ensure that legislation brought to the House floor has broad support in the Republican conference — but by agreeing to the letter’s substance, he’s giving his first endorsement of that policy as it specifically applies to immigration reform.

Idiots, they needed a signed letter of resignation that expired on January 20, 2017.
Done deal. Even freepers don’t support the real conservative that is running for Speaker, Dan Webster.
Paul Ryan is a liar.
Besides that he pushed granny off a cliff in her wheel chair.
“Which only means Ryan will propose amnesty on January 21st, 2017.”
Which means that the good folks in his district need to vote him out of office next year just like the people of VA did with Cantor! Wisconsin voters need to step up and help all of us rid the country of the GoPee!
Ryan says no “comprehensive immigration”. I suspect the progressive GOPers will still try to float a “dreamer” bill.
I support Dan Webster....definitely over LYIN PAUL RYAN.
Ryan’s lied to us before, he’ll lie again. He lied to Mark Levin and Levin STILL talks about it.
My thoughts too. The h*ll with letting them mess with reform. Just enforce the laws we have.
Paul Ryan was Obungu’s BFF with the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deals. Ryan was a big promoter of this rotten trade deal. Any trade deal that gives us larger trade deficits is traitorous..... And so far they all have.
