House Speaker Ryan moves to stop Republican revolt on immigration

WASHINGTON - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday warned a small group of his fellow Republicans against forcing a floor debate on four separate bills that would protect young illegal immigrants from deportation, saying doing so would be a “big mistake.”

Instead, Ryan said he was working with the White House on a singular bill that would win President Donald Trump’s support.

I trust Ryan as far as I can throw the Capitol building.

We MUST remove the Bush League Republicans from office before they give away our country.

These rebels are not Tea Party. They are moderates looking to protect illegals.

OK. That's different. Guess I should have gone to the site and read the whole article. The modern version of "RTFM".

California GOP Rep. Jeff Denham is the frontman in the petition effort, which needs just seven more GOP signatures to reach the 25 needed GOP signatures on the discharge petition. Those 25 signatures will allow the 193 Democrats to take the 218-vote majority control of the House floor and push through a no-strings amnesty for roughly 3 million younger 'DACA' illegals.

That amnesty would also block President Donald Trump's pro-American immigration reforms because it would leave him with nothing to buy off the cheap-labor groups in the GOP and Democratic parties. "Denham is telling people they'll get to 25 after primaries today because members will be 'free' to co-sponsor" the petition once their state primaries are over...

It's not the Tea Party who are in revolt.

This is a move by a Rino California congressman who wants to force an amnesty vote after the May 15th primaries...

As I understand it Ryan is taking the "moderate" position of working on an amnesty vote that can be sugar-coated so as not to inflame conservative voters, and to force the President's hand.

Here is one Summary

These scumbags will do anything to fill our streets with human debris.

Looks to me like House Republicans are looking to throw the 2018 elections. It’s as if they want to take a dive.

Such a bill would probably be very singular, indeed...

“hey are moderates looking to protect illegals.”

“moderate” is the term used by the leftist fake stream media to describe leftist Republican RINO/GOPe/Bushite traitorous scum ...

Ryan not inflame anyone? He couldn’t even solve a dispute about the House Chaplain without alienating everyone.

Breitbart is absolutely indispensable.

In the old days, the Rinos would have been able to sneak something like this through Congress without anyone taking notice. Now their every slither is scrutinized, almost in advance!

The Tea Party are RINO's masquerading as conservatives.

i sure hope the bill that is going to win the President’s support includes, ALL of the 70+ policies that he put out last year, with one addition....

Ending, once and for all, Birthright Citizenship.

I want the wall.
I want to increase the border Patrol, ICE, and the immigration magistrates by major proportions, and I want to do it NOW.
I want drones and electronic security to back up the wall and the manpower.
I want universal e-Verify.
I want to stop H-1B visas.
I want to end chain migration.
I want to end birthright citizenship.
I want to cut off all benefits to illegals.
I want to stiffen the penalties for employing illegals; I want people going to jail — not just fines.
I want Kate’s Law.
I want to end catch/ and release.

When all that is done, we streamline the process for getting here legally. We CONSIDER increasing EB-5 visas (for entrepreneurs.)

And if the price we have to pay for all of that is DACA, well, I don’t want to do it, but I guess we hold our noses.
