House Speaker Paul Ryan said during a Friday interview Democrats will “have to stomach” the fact that President Donald Trump will advance immigration reform.
Ryan spoke with WISN’s Vicki McKenna at length about immigration and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“They’ll have to stomach the fact that yes, this president will be successful in doing something that hasn’t been done for years, which is advancing some immigration reform, advancing security, advancing enforcement, and advancing a law that fixes the DACA problem so these kids don’t get kicked out,” Ryan said.
“That would be a victory for this president. And that would be, if you’re a politician and you’re partisan and you don’t want to see him be successful, that will be a tough pill to swallow.”
Ryan noted that Democrats who do not support border security are simply playing partisan politics.
“It’s only common sense that we secure our border,” he said. “Having control of your borders should not be partisan. I think it’s a real mistake if because [some Democrats]dislike Donald Trump so much and they don’t want to see him get any success that they’re gonna stop us from actually securing our border. I don’t think that’s a sustainable position.
“The compromise that we will advance will be one that includes securing the border.”
Ryan also addressed Wednesday’s White House meeting between Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that centered on immigration. Reports said the group came to an agreement on a border security bill that would protect DACA recipients and also excluded a border wall, but Ryan said no deal was made.
The dinner “was a discussion, not a deal,” Ryan said.
Paul Ryan is a traitor to the US.
The Republican party is an anti-American organization. It must be destroyed if the United States are to survive.
Suck it up buttercups, your party are domestic enemies and have been for one hundred years.
Amen!
The leadership of the Republican Party has been usurped by professional politician RINOs. Ryan is the worst of the bunch.
Oh no! Democrats will be so sad.
Scott Adams says the DREAMers were never going to be deported by anybody so that Trump got a good deal on the border in exchange for not doing what no one was going to do. Comments?
Paul Ryan is pure evil.
Scott Adams has also proposed an idiotic healthcare plan.
What was that?
Oh, and promises of “border security” are bogus—an excuse to not build the wall. The Raise Act and e-verify are both required. Also the proposals in Congress massively expand DACA.
Why not?
All Trump had to do was do nothing and let the 10 states bring their lawsuit which they would have won. DACA is clearly unconstitutional. The states already won on DAPA.
They don’t necessarily have to be deported but, at the same time, they don’t necessarily have to be turned into US citizens. Like it or not, they are all natural born citizens of other countries and we are under no obligation to grant them US citizenship simply because their parents broke the law and I frankly don’t think that we should. If we want to make a deal on not deporting them, that’s one thing. But amnesty? Citizenship? That’s a whole different matter.
It’s a Crime: Human Trafficing

Said by the ONE PERSON leading the charge to undercut Trump.
So your take is that Trump is one and done and Ryan will be the helmsman to steady the course?
I’m just saying that Ryan is a dick and backstabber...and Trump made him pay with the debt deal.
Ummmm. ‘Border security’...’these kids’... ‘Don’t get kicked out’...’that would be a win for this president’
WTF is Pablo Ryan talking about? Amnesty is a non starter. And border security...Lemme guess, border security means some worthless drones, some useless ground sensors and 500 agents. So we get the Amnesty and we get Open Borders.
