A week before the GOP nominating convention, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) made clear he disagrees with presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump’s plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.
“I don’t agree with that. I don’t think rounding up 11 million people A) is the right thing to do, B) would work,” Ryan said during a CNN televised town hall event. “And I don’t think you’d like to see what we’d have to do to the country to do that.”
Ryan and Trump represent two different camps in the Republican Party on the issue of immigration.
Trump is a hardliner who’s called for building a wall along the southern border and deporting everyone in the country here illegally. Ryan has pushed for immigration reform legislation during his congressional career, though he believes the country first needs to secure its border.
“I think you have to secure the border, you have to have reforms that get people out of the shadows and get right with the law and make sure while you are securing the border, you are fixing what’s broken in the legal immigration system,” said Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee.
“That to me is an approach that makes sense and it won’t require a round-up or mass deportation.”

Hardliner, eh? More like RIGHTliner.
Seems he really wants to lose, or is is just plain stupid.
Either way, I’ve had enough of this guy.
There is *nothing* about our nominee this @zz is going to support!
Ryan will join with Democrats to block anything and everything Trump would set before them.
God help us.
There must be a website: abetterspeaker
I was sick of this “the system is broken” crap 20 years ago. That’s what traitors like to say to evade blame.
Nobody cares what you think Paul as your job as a political POS are coming to an end.
You will be voted out just like Cantor oil.
Ryan will talk talk talk about border security and push push push for amnesty.
Once amnesty is passed, border security will be defunded and forgotten.
We have seen it all before.
IMO, Ryan’s sound bite wasn’t happenstance.
Compare it to Jeb on MSNBC, ‘breaks his heart can’t vote for Trump’. (Cruz a good guy.)
Cruz on AF1 deplaning ahead of Pelosi for Dallas memorial, where GWB was to speak.
This is orchestrated.
Paul Ryan wants more illegals into the country. We need to deport these people!
It’s easily 30 million.
What about the millions Obama has imported under color of law?
We knew he was a GOPe stooge when he was put into this position. And we see it, over and over.
Nothing new here.
How many more “Republicans” are going to be out criticizing their candidate one week before the convention?
How many Democrats will be doing this before theirs?
Any Republican using the rhetoric (”rounding up”) of the Left MUST BE PRIMARIED!
Bye bye Ryan.
L
I hope they boo Ryan off the stage next week.
Someone owns this guy lock-stock & barrel. No one is this stupid....you don’t talk like this after seeing what Trump has latched onto out here.
They keep talking about 11 million illegals - what about the other 30 to 40 million, maybe more, that are here? We probably have at least 10 million illegals just in Texas alone and I would suspect that at least 2 million of those 10 live in Houston with more pouring in every day.
Ryan needs to have 20 or so murdering, raping filth bag illegal mexicans come spend a few weeks at his house with his family. They can all go out in the evenings and ---look for more 'Kates' !!!
:(
Exactly!!!!!
