GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: Paul Ryan Works 'Every Day' toward Amnesty Bill
breitbart.com ^ | 8/11/14 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/11/2014 10:44:05 AM PDT by cotton1706

One of the 11 House Republicans La Raza praised for not voting to end President Barack Obama's temporary amnesty program for illegal immigrants revealed that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been working "every day" behind the scenes on an amnesty bill.

In a Friday appearance on MSNBC's Jose Diaz-Balart, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) predicted that Congress is "going to be passing an immigration bill" in the future, "thanks to your brother, Mario Diaz-Balart."

"Mario and Paul Ryan and good leaders are working every day toward that, and we hope that it will happen," she said.

Ros-Lehtinen and other members of the GOP earned La Raza's praise for voting against the border bill that would have denied Obama the right to use federal funds to implement temporary amnesty.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), whom Ros-Lehtinen referenced, was reportedly "ready to announce to House leaders that a majority of House Republicans supported his immigration reform bill," and secured "soft commitments from at least 120 Republicans." Ryan was reportedly working with Diaz-Balart to get support for his bill, which would have allowed Republicans to bring it to the floor and then vote against it, enabling it to pass with Democrat support.

After House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) was ousted because of his support for amnesty, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told President Obama that he would not bring up an immigration bill in the House this year. Though Boehner said he wanted to get an amnesty bill through in the next Congress, Diaz-Balart asked House leaders to give his bill one more chance this year before being denied.

” Soooo.... lemme get this straight, here...

Working against your own people, to get the praise of a radical, racist, leftwing organization like La Raza is a GOOD thing...

...While ignoring what well over 75% of your own people have said they want, ignoring the best interests of your own Country and it’s future well-being, , that’s somehow bad ...”

Sad, but true.

So true, but so unknown to Republican primary voters, who are as uninformed as their Democrat cousins.

The Latinos will begin replacing them at a record pace once they get started and begin removing them en masse. All of the former Congressmen will by shunned by both the people they betrayed and the people that ousted them.

You nailed it, but Paul Ryan is too dumb to think this will happen.

We should get that pothead with the same name elected in the GOP primary. I think it is Jeremy Ryan running.

Boehner appointee Diaz to the border bill. The same guy who opposes defunding DACA and voted for the Dream Act and every amnesty bill.

Been saying this for a while. The first order of "fundamental transformation" will be in the Democrat Party. The novo citizens will have a seat at the national table and bring corruption, graft, extortion, bribery to astronomical heights. And did I mention Amnesty II, III, IV, etc. tagline check

Whites will be a minority in public schools this fall.

Pray for our Republic while you still can.

We didn’t pay them enough to work for us. They work for the highest bidder now that they have the power in their pocket.

You know that Paul Ryan is Hannity’s good buddy, don’tcha? He had him on the show just a couple of weeks ago.

Spit...

“The Senators that are agreeing to amnesty have sold their souls to the Devil for 30 pieces of silver for the short term goal of being re-elected by the Latino vote. What they fail to realize is that as soon as the Latinos go to college and become attorneys on taxpayer money they will begin seeking office to replace the enablers who are viewed as weak and spineless because they caved.”

It’s not even as complicated as that. They will vote Democrat now and forever as soon as they can and if they *do* go to college they will become activists for Dem causes, or they will become professionals and will vote the way they vote. But they are 80% guaranteed Dem votes, end of subject.

Amnesty is the line in the sand for me. They pass that, I stop voting and the checkbook remains closed forever.

Sheldon Adelson.....barf.

This moron is worth more than $27 billion, but the douche is too cheap to pay decent wages to American citizens to work in his Vegas hotels....he wants to hire illegals to make more and more money.

He’s got all that money and yet he couldn’t care less about selling out America, the very country that made his wealth possible. Effin’ traitor.
