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."

Saw this on the Five at the Fitness Center after work.

Even if the part about them paying taxes wasn't a lie, which it is, how is paying ‘back taxes’ a penalty??

Two years when most FRes here were in awe over Ryan's supposed budget wizardry, led on by talk radio and FNC, I was pointing out that he was phony.

His 10 year doll house budget resolution was a fake and his arguments above are dishonest, designed to be pro-amnesty Hispanic friendly and to give GOP hacks simple talking points.

I am on empty when the supposed conservatives expose themselves. This is the guy that believed and claimed he ran a marathon faster than he really did.

“This is the guy that believed and claimed he ran a marathon faster than he really did.” I had never heard that about Paul Ryan. I have seen this sociopathy, many times over the last 40 years, with marathon swimming, running and navigation courses. There is always a certain type that tries to bs.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t go past the WP, so, what was the race length? Why would he half his time? Even for egoists, that is a big lie to tell. Something seems a bit out of place, as to this report.

Here is the actual interview. See I could have picked a multitude of liberal media outlets mocking the ‘lying’ Ryan. None of these liberal outlets care less when liberals lie.

Paul I don’t want to debate you ..I want you to come to Texas to my hometown and have your wife and kids go shopping at our Wal-Mart at 4:30PM on pay day Thursday when the beef packing plant shift ends....I have a rental house you can move in, just don’t call me and bitch about the illegal neighbors chickens running loose in your yard ....you can enroll your children in the public school here where it’s 90% hispanic and god knows what percentage of parents are illegals and don’t speak a word of english ...and as a bonus, there will be the opportunity for you and your family to share the roads with drunken illegals at anytime of the day .....

but, no you won’t do it you nancy ...you’ll take your know nothing ass back to your lilly white Wisconsin neighborhood and never ever see an illegal or have them share a store, a school or a neighborhood with your family ....

just sit there in Washington and Wisconsin and lecture those of us that have been invaded on what amnesty is and isn’t you pathetic dumbass

They have been getting welfare and anything else they want for years. Amnesty defenders would get on tv and say with straight faces that of course not illegals couldn’t get welfare—that would be against the law.

Illegals get representation without being able to vote since their mere presence in large numbers causes the Democratic districts to become divided up into more districts increasing the number of Democrat districts. These kinds of districts are called *rotten boroughs*.

Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are talking about illegal immigration, do you know of any other talk show people who are discussing this and are against amnesty?

How did Kentucky and all the other states harvest their fields before illegals were available?

Try Michael Savage. He was on illegal immigration before all of ‘em.
