House Speaker Paul Ryan says not to expect any Donald Trump-style mass deportations under his watch.
In a "60 Minutes" profile that aired Sunday, Ryan told interviewer Scott Pelley he doesn't advocate the GOP presidential front-runner's plan to deport every illegal immigrant.
"I can't imagine how it could happen," Ryan said.
Ryan, who at 45 is the youngest House speaker since the 1860s, said he doesn't see the job as a long-term proposition.
"I was just planning on serving out my tenure as Ways and Means chair, and then going finding out something else to do with my life," he said. "I really don't know how long this is going to last. This wasn't something I was planning on doing in the first place." In fact, Ryan had to have his arm twisted to take the job. He has three children between the ages of 10 and 13 and said he didn't want to spend weekends away from them and attending fundraisers all over the country. His wife, Janna, agreed.

How does Ryan think he will prevent deportations? That basic funding has been part of the budget for many years and the legal authority to deport rests with the executive branch.
Well that might be the only thing he is correct about.
What an awful running mate choice Mitt Romney made.
Then you can expect a real short watch, Paul.
Remember when I said I was opposed to Ryan cause he’d bring us more Obamaism and all those people sneered and called me names cause Ryan wouldn’t?
Those people can all kiss my ass now.
Yeah, was so ineffective I felt sorry for him.
This is our new leader. Sheesh!
“He may not be as conservative as you want, but he’s fair” is what my fake conservative congressman, Scott Perry-Republican PA , had to say last week.
“Fair” to who???????
I just checked - he is up for re-election in 2016.
“I can’t imagine how it could happen,” Ryan said.
Didn’t we put a man (wait men) on the moon. Why all the pessimism?
Hey Paul what about the mass importation of Syrian Muslims. Are you going to allow that to happen on your watch?
President Trump will have an Iphone and a pen. GFPR!!
No surprise. He’s an Ayn Rand Objectivist.
I see posters saying that a new Prez in 2017 can use existing law to clean house and that’s true but how many low info voters that heard Ryan know that? Since the Dems have made illegal immigration a big deal my bet is that most voters are confused and think we have no laws or weak laws on illegal immigration.
They are all up for re-election next year, so what....the Establishment will rig his seat with five Republican primary opponents like they did with Boehner, with some of them deliberately acting like kooks.
Any conservative opposition vote will be split multiple ways like they wanted to do with the presidential contest until Trump gummed up the works.
Well, we will see about that.
If a wave is big enough to carry Trump in,
It will be big enough to carry Ryan and a lot more RINO’s out to sea.
A Trump win would be a mandate, the likes of which this country has
never seen.
It will take a ruthless President to overcome these RINO’s.
Bring on the ruthless.
“Under his watch”?
He’s like the watch dog that watches the burglars cart off the household goods.
Paul Ryan cannot stop this president from ignoring the law...
How does he propose to stop a President who simply enforces the law as it’s actually written?
Party above Country is sooo well, Clintonesque!
Stunning, if you think about this lightweight actually BEING where he does not really want to be!
RINO Ryan = Boehner without the bourbon bottle!
