House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)58% is ruling out making any cuts to Muslim immigration.
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Ryan declared that considering an applicant's religion would not be "appropriate" and would be fundamentally un-American---insisting "that's not who we are."
...
Ryan said, in part, that the reason the program could not simply be canceled is because, "We're a compassionate country. The refugees laws are important laws and we don't want terrorists to dictate how we run--whether we have a law or not."
While throughout the interview Ryan seemed to ground his argument on the premise that we cannot apply a religious test as a basis for admissions to the United States, both Rush Limbaugh and Andrew McCarthy have explained how U.S. law does, in fact, require a religious test when it comes to making considerations about visa issuances.

Ryan's all-in on importing terrorists too.
I have news for them. They won't. If the terrorists don't get them, sooner or later a mob of angry Americans will.....
And Ryan says “Yessa Massa”
I didn’t think it was possible but the Republicans did it: They found someone who is creepier than Boehner and made him Speaker.
WTFG, GOP!
It is not who we are?
Then we ARE a country that will disregard serious threats to its frightened citizens by allowing un vetted young islamic men into the vulnerable neighborhoods and public events of its people.
Ryan has become my least favorite member of congress.
PAUL RYAN HAS BETRAYED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS CYNICALLY AS BOEHNER DID!
Ryan has not yet gotten the memo: We are a nation of laws!
Yes, Mr. President, there is a ‘religious test’ for refugees: The Law Says So :

I think his point was more like we can tie up their immigration in administration tactics. I am not a Ryan apologist inasmuch I think he is Bohner with a brain, but his position is not as being insinuated i.e. in favor of muzzie immigration. He just wants to stop it with requiring security hoops that none can pass because he feels he can get that through Congress more easily than to have a problem with some with the first amendment, IMO.
“that’s not who we are.”
Then why do we build Tanks? To look out for the Saudis?
Bohener and Ryan.
Is there any difference?
Many are bought and paid for with petrodollars and have been for a long time.
You don't speak for me, you little weasel - nor do you speak for most of the American people.
Mr Ryan needs to be held accountable for his words...and any actions he may engage in!
Since Ryan has thrown in with the terrorists, he should be treated as such himself. One day, if we get to the peoples’ court stage, Ryan will join a large list of so-called Republicans, who should face justice and listen to the sounds of scaffolds being built outside their cells.
Honeymoon over.
What can we expect for a Romney VEEP pick.
That’s not what that law says. The author of that article misread the statute. You can read the statue yourself (I did) and see. It’s pretty plain.
Who needs to worry about strangers cutting our necks when our own leaders(?) routinely stab us in the back?
