PAUL RYAN SUGGESTS GOP CANDIDATES IN MIDTERMS SHOULD RUN ON GIVING ILLEGALS CITIZENSHIP
Breitbart ^ | Aug 21, 2014 | By Tony Lee

Posted on 08/21/2014 10:13:39 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year's midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country's illegal immigrants.

Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) to get House Republicans to support a broader immigration bill, said that he was "having problems" convincing conservatives to support immigration reform, which he said was "very important."

In a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg News, Ryan said he supported a "path to legalization" for all of the country's illegal immigrants. He said illegal immigrants should be able to "earn citizenship" after they go to the back of the line and not cut in front of legal immigrants.

When asked if he was saying that if illegal immigrants "do a series of things," they "can stay here legally forever," Ryan replied, "They can always get a work permit that is renewed indefinitely." When asked if he would "like to see Republican candidates run on that in this election cycle," Ryan replied, "I'm putting it right here in my book."

A plurality of Americans in multiple national polls have said they would be less likely to vote for candidates who support amnesty legislation.

“...He said illegal immigrants should be able to “earn citizenship” after they go to the back of the line and not cut in front of legal immigrants....”
*****************************************************************************************

Ryan is a duplicitous useful idiot of the GOPe. Guess what Paul, the “line” begins in the illegal aliens’ home countries at the US embassy. And there are certain rules/laws that must be met. Let the illegals go to the back of those lines; no change in the law is needed for that.

Willard pushed AMNESTY for years...

Does Paul Ryan really want to add this to his resume considering his most recent accomplishments?

Namely:

  1. Snookered into making a deal with the dumbest member of the U.S. Senate, Patty Bin Murray.
  2. Lost a vice-presidential debate to Joe Biden.

The “path to citizenship” leads to a bridge going south over the Rio Grande.

Paul Ryan needs a pathway to and citizenship in someplace like Bolivia where he can enjoy diversity and cheap labor instead of inflicting it on the rest of us.
