(CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan said Sunday despite Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric, lawmakers are not prepared to form a deportation force to round-up and deport undocumented immigrants.
"We are not planning on erecting a deportation force. Donald Trump's not planning on that," Ryan told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"I think we should put people's minds at ease: That is not what our focus is. That is not what we're focused on. We're focused on securing the border. We think that's first and foremost, before we get into any other immigration issue, we've got to know who's coming and going into the country -- we've got to secure the border," he added.
Ryan deflected questions about whether he'd support Trump's calls to slap hefty tariffs on imports from countries like Mexico.
Instead, Ryan said, he supports tax reforms to address the same challenges "without any adverse effects -- without any collateral damage to the economy."
The House speaker also said he is on board with Trump's call to keep some elements of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
But he won't commit to mandating insurance coverage of birth control for women at no cost.
"Obamacare is failing. It must be replaced. We're going to do that. We're excited about it ... We can fix what is broken in health care without breaking what is working in health care," Ryan said.
The Wisconsin Republican said he agrees with Trump's comment to CBS' "60 Minutes" that Obamacare's laws against barring those with pre-existing conditions from receiving coverage and allowing those up to age 26 to remain on their parents' insurance can stay in place even as the GOP pushes to repeal Obamacare.

These idiots still don’t get it.
Never mind his use of Beavis & Butthead language.
Paul, you are a piece of $#!+
Maybe you should wait and see what the PRESIDENT decides, you imbecile....
We already have one. It’s called the U.S. Border Patrol.
Craven coward.
Ryan still pimping for the amnesty crowd.
How does Ryan think we are going to get rid of the criminal illegals?
We do not need a “Deportation Force” as we already have the Border Patrol and once we enforce employment laws and build a border, illegal aliens will mostly self-deport. The remainder will be deported over time. Heck, put a bounty on illegals and employers hiring them, that’d speed up the effort and be cheaper than alternatives.
When Ryan says ‘we’ who is he talking about?
They already have what they need to reverse the flow. Trump will quietly do so.
What’s this “we” sh*t, Ryan????
When is Ryan resigning? He should be out in weeks, days, maybe next meeting of House.
Ryno sucks. Step down.
Get rid of this Ryan democrat posing as a Republican
...allowing those up to age 26 to remain on their parents’ insurance...
Fine if we can raise the voting age to 26!
Ryan and Turkey neck both need to step down.
Reminds me of the story:
Lyndon Johnson was once down in the polls in his 1948 Senate race, widely believed to be a low point for corruption in American politics. Desperate to close the gap, Johnson suggested leaking a rumor that his opponent, formerly a pig farmer, had been copulating with his livestock.
According to Thompson, the campaign manager replied that they couldn’t do that—because it wasn’t true. “Of course it’s not!” Johnson supposedly shot back. “But let’s make the bastard deny it!”
Why is Ryan so stupid as to deny it?
Regards,
Shut up and get out, Ryan....nobody cares what you have to say.
The moron Paulie Ryno was not elected President.
Donald Trump was elected president.
Deport the illegal aliens, and get rid of birth-right citizenship.
