URGENT - Paul Ryan: Trump comments not 'who we are as a party'
KSPR 33 ^ | December 8, 2015

(CNN) -- House Speaker Paul Ryan sharply condemned Donald Trump, his party's front-runner presidential candidate, on Tuesday, following Trump's call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States. Ryan told members of his party at a closed door meeting that Trump's comments are "not who we are as a party" and violate the Constitution, according to Republican Rep. Matt Salmon, who attended the gathering.

This idiot doesn't even know that it doesn't violate the Constitution. And he is the Speaker of the House? What a farce.

He talked about the Muslims fighting in the military and how many Muslims are standing with us.

...

Like the Ft Hood Muslim mass murderer.

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate

First, Ryan wants to do the chamber of commerce bidding.

Second, we’re at war with Koran believing Islam. Do we let the enemy inside the gates to freely roam around? Did we do that with Germany or Japan during WWII?

Ryan is an establishment guy just echoing Bush, Rubio, and Graham.

These people have said we must better vet refugees because we don’t know if there are terrorists among them.

Does that mean they don’t care if terrorists enter the country in different ways?

It was who we were, but the party decided to go all PC and join with the left.
Deal with it Ryan and the GOP. The American people are fed up of you all.

The Party has left most Republicans, except the elected RINO’s who grow government, collect a paycheck and help the Democrats with policy enactment..

Here is a good article by Mark Kriorian of the Center for Immigration Studies It’s Time for a Grown-Up Alternative to Trump’s Crude Muslim-Immigration Proposal

I don't agree with Mark's tone, but the substance is clear:

First of all, it’s important to underline that Congress can exclude or admit any foreigner it wants, for any reason or no reason. Non-Americans have no constitutional right to travel to the United States and no constitutional due-process rights to challenge exclusion; as the Supreme Court has written multiple times, “Whatever the procedure authorized by Congress is, it is due process as far as an alien denied entry is concerned.”

What’s more, while the president doesn’t have the authority that Obama has claimed, to let in anyone he wants for any reason (under the guise of “parole”), he does have the statutory authority to keep anyone out, for any reason he thinks best. From 8 USC §1182:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate (emphasis added).

So in considering Trump’s statement, the question is not whether it would be lawful but whether it would be good policy. (Barring the return of American citizens from abroad simply because they’re Muslims is ridiculous and illegal, but it doesn’t seem that Trump actually said that, despite the media’s trumpeting of that point.)

As usual, Trump is playing the part of your crotchety Uncle George holding forth on politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table. But the reason his careless and sloppy immigration commentary resonates is that no one else in public life is willing to address issues that worry — and, at this point, frighten — people. If “respectable” politicians refuse to even talk about the real problems caused by mass Muslim immigration, then a larger and larger share of the public will turn to carnival barkers unafraid of elite disapproval.

To hell with Ryan and the rest of the GOP elite. They will rightfully burn with the rest of the country if we fail to elect Trump or Cruz.

I'll laugh my rear end off if Trump decides to break off from the GOP.

Not me.

I would be much happier if he continues to steamroll over them and show them up for the chumps they really are. Then he takes the GOP nomination. Then he wins. Then he fires the entire RNC. Then he shows the GOP "consultants" to the door. Then he takes the RINOs in Congress and the Senate to the woodshed and embarrasses them into doing the right thing for America. Then he completely upends the Democrat Party, the Federal bureaucracy, and the Media (but, I'm repeating myself). Then he brings America back from the brink of disaster.

Oh, and I'm not a big Trump fan. I back Ted Cruz. But I don't want Trump leading a charge at windmills, going 3rd party, and making Hillary President.

Paul Ryan, Joe Scarborough, Ben Shapiro and Elisha Kraus of Salem Radio.... I’m listening to all of the GOPe foot soldiers pile on Trump.

They have him now! This time The Donald is dead meat!

The only people left who still support Trump are that tiny number of American extremists who think that the most important thing is to stop Islam’s spread across the globe and its murder of Americans here at home.
