Paul Ryan: ‘I will debate anybody’ who says immigration bill is ‘amnesty’
Yahoo News ^

Posted on 06/12/2013 2:27:40 PM PDT by Windy City Conservative

"Earned legalization is not amnesty," Ryan said during a forum on immigration sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers. "I will debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress are amnesty. They're not. Amnesty is wiping the slate clean and not paying any penalty for having done something wrong."

Ryan pointed to provisions baked into the Senate bill from the beginning that require those in the United States to pay a fine, back taxes, undergo background checks and enter a years-long probationary period before earning citizenship, a process that can take up to 15 years.

"That," Ryan said, "is not amnesty."

Oh, and BTW Paul and Marco - they BREAK the law now. What are you going to do when they break your new law?

Deport them? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You’ll probably just write a “new Immigration Reform Bill” that will “fix it this time for sure”. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

These guys egos are ruling their logic. A true sign of an idiot.

Illegals all have multiple identities. How many times do you think they sign up for benefits like food stamps, welfare?

Heh.

Be glad to, Paul. Anytime. My place is best. Be sure to bring plenty of good beer and a crying towel, because I will easily rip your positions apart and point out your lies for all to see with little effort.

Oh, and I’ll arrange to have a live web feed so all can see an overweight, middle aged goofball wearing an aloha shirt and flip-flops make you look like the inside-the-Beltway, Statist puke you truly are.

Contact me via freepmail.

Toodles.

“Earned legalization is not amnesty,” Ryan said. Trying to bamboozle us with not-so-clever semantics?

Well, they tried Hewitt's made-up term "regularization" to replace "amnesty". That didn't fool anybody -- now this.

As a Wisconsinite, I don't believe I'll be supporting Paul Ryan in his next primary. The kool-aid Mitt Romney was serving was apparently too tasty for him. Ryan has lost his way.

Anything that begins with entering the country illegally is not “earned.”

“A path to citizenship”

My grandfather who sailed here legally from Italy in 1910 came here with nothing, had to promise he would not be a burden to society and died withOUT American “citizenship”.

Citizenship is an option, not a requirement to immigrate to the USA

I doubt you can force an immigrant to pledge allegiance to the United States... heck even classrooms have been forced to stop that with American born children.

Path to citizenship? What a crock. It does not pass the smell test and it certainly will not win in a court of law in 2013. Rubio and Ryan know this too.

No sir, it is not amnesty. It is a Reward for Criminal behavior. Illegally entering the homeland of another is criminal behavior.

Neither is Rand Paul, whose state is not much affected by illegal immigration.

KY is chock full of illegals, esp. during soybean and tobacco harvest. That is the only reason to explain Paul's insane stance on this bill.

“That,” Ryan said, “is not amnesty.”

Oh I don’t know break the law get rewarded by being able to stay here ahead of those that didn’t break the law seems like amnesty to me. I guess it depends on the meaning of the word “is” like Clinton

Obama is not going to do any of that. He will legalize them all, register them Democrat to vote and put them on welfare, before the next election.

There was an article today about how DHS was rushing through amnesty requests and did not have time to do background checks.

Ryan must have been born yesterday or he thinks we were.

We are getting to the point where every state is a border state. Here in VA we have turned purple and will be blue in a decade thanks to immigration. And NC is not far behind.

Yeah, Mark Levin offered Ryan air time tonight, but Ryan was busy.

Busy being weak!

There is no leadership, just buffoon on top of buffoon!

Debating is TALKING the TALK.

What we're seeking is SOMEONE who WALKS the WALK.

Debate your mama Ryan.
