House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday gave a major boost to legislative efforts to preserve protections for young undocumented immigrants -- and urged President Donald Trump to not tear up the program. Trump told reporters Friday he was still mulling the decision. The White House press secretary said a decision would be announced Tuesday.
Responding to a question about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, on his hometown radio station WCLO in Janesville, Wisconsin, Ryan said Congress was working on a legislative fix to preserve the program.
"I actually don't think he should do that," Ryan said of Trump's consideration of terminating the program. "I believe that this is something that Congress has to fix."
Ryan's statement offers the most public support by anyone in the Republican congressional leadership for some sort of legislation to protect the "Dreamers" under DACA.

You should repeat the “only 5 good congressmen” meme often.
It is a powerful truth. I’m going to spread it, so thanks.
Defining truth flexible for the anti-Trump concern ttolls.
I thought the program was ending because of an expiration date.
What I don’t know is whether or not the EO as written calls for the recipients of the program to return to Mexico or stay. What does the original document say??
In 2015 the House file suit to block DACA because it was clearly unconstitutional under Article I naturalization. Paul Ryan was the Speaker.
In 2017 the Speaker wants more time to find a “legislative solution” to DACA which means a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
Paul Ryan is a two-faced, cheap labor express, crony globalist, big government, lobbyist owned fraud.
Exactly like Obamacare. We’ve been lied to by the beltway GOP. Again. Amnesty Ryan loves DACA.
Either way, a pen in hand ends it!
Paul Ryan and the rest of the moderate wing of the democrat party can stuff it.
This b@$t@rd is disgusting.
-
They’re not even bothering to PRETEND they’re on our side anymore.
So it turns out that we-the-people have a choice between electing
A) A leftist asshole calling themselves a Democrat or
B) A leftist asshole calling themselves a Republican.
We need a new party - a Trump party - and we need it yesterday.
Hey Ho Hey Ho
Lyin Ryan’s gotta go
Looks like nonwall and amnesty too. Trump has historically been an amnesty guy... but now,no wall. If he can’t get it done, he should step down.
The word has come down from their corporate donors.
Watch how fast congress acts on this.
Looks like kabuki to me. POTUS Is giving the beltway GOP a few days to come out against ending DACA before he ends it. Trump is in on it, IMO. He would just release his DACA decision if he wanted to hang Amnesty Ryan out to dry.
I don’t expect Congress will act at all. Just more gum flapping from that useless bunch.
Ryan should be hung from a tree, but I’ll settle for him being primaried out.
This is a race and class war against white America, plain and simple
The political class in DC, allied with the communists, are so intent on turning the USA into a white minority nation that they will stop at nothing to make it happen.

“As the demographic changes in the United States unfold, whites are saying with anger and defiance that if they are going to go from being the nation’s absolute majority to its largest minority, it will be on terms they dictate.
The burden rests on progressive, tolerant, pluralist Americans – whatever their race or ethnicity – to wake up to the deep and dangerous challenges that Trumpism represents, and to reject chauvinism, tribalism and othering politics. The battle is uphill because humans form exclusive identities and groups far more easily than they form inclusive ones.
The first step in protecting America from the dangers of a new wave of debilitating race politics is some painful honesty about what just happened and why. This election was about race”.
You may be right. See US CEOs Urge Trump to Keep DACA 'Dreamers' Program in Letter.
I see GM's CEO is in on this. So much for my giving GM another chance.
There are other issues involved, constitutional responsibilities.
Obama usurped the constitution with his DACA order. Trump says he will rescind the order.
Ryan says the matter must be settled by legislation by the Congress.
Looks like nonwall and amnesty too. Trump has historically been an amnesty guy... but now,no wall. If he can’t get it done, he should step down.
Trump is going to get nuked for ending DACA. He’s literally all alone inside the beltway. If he punts on the wall temporarily it’s not the end.
Ryan is a treacherous scumbag.

Snip...
Punts on the wall? Um no deal. He hasn’t even had the guts obama did as prez.. no wall funding is a veto.. but he just can’t bring himself to play hardball here. Makes ya kinda wonder why not?
Ryan moves at sloth speed!
5 years is a bit aggressive for Paul Ryan
Cause they are all talk and no action
A one-year extension of DACA in exchange for wall funding would be a good deal that won’t happen.
