Paul Ryan: ‘We don’t want to push people into citizenship’
washington examiner ^ | 7/18/13 | Rebecca Berg

Rep. Paul Ryan said Thursday that Republicans are taking care not to “push” illegal immigrants to become American citizens as part of any comprehensive immigration reform package.

“We don’t want to push people into citizenship,” Ryan said in an interview with KFYR 550 in Bismarck, N.D.

Ryan said immigrants are more interested in finding jobs than in becoming citizens.

“Most people just want to have a legal status so they can work to provide for their families,” he said.

I think Levin’s got to be outraged in private on how Rudio used him. The dems were laughing about how they sent out Rudio & other republicans to do talk radio & shut down conservative debate on the immigration bill.

This was a well thought out plan by the democratic party & Rudio was in on it IMO. Levin & Rush look like absolute idiots geting used like this.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.

Conservatives, including Rush and Levin, got used as usual.

It really is sickening. Rubio is a truly despicable person.

I think my vote for him is the biggest voting regret that I have ever had in my entire life.

Don’t feel bad. My mom voted for Ayotte in NH & she is in shock on Ayotte’s vote on the immigration bill. Ayotte lied through her teeth about not backing amnesty when she got elected.

One thing there seems to be no shortage of in the GOP, and in government as a whole, and as well as in America as a whole is liars.

Americans are in the midst of a love affair with the lie.

I have heard it said that lying is how we first begin to know the Devil.

But I don’t think that is fully accurate.

Lying is how we become the Devil.

Well, the West & the USA are in obvious decline, and have been for many years. The cultural rot that is leftism is collapsing the West. I no longer have any doubt that the USA is now a center-left nation that is trending more & more left as time goes on.

If Jack French Kemp were still living, he would be the spokesman for illegall immigration that Paul Ryan is.

I can't say you are wrong, but I will say that I would like for you to be wrong. I liked Kemp. Then again, I liked Ryan.
