Ryan ran into his old friend, Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), and urged him to restart his effort to get a comprehensive immigration package through Congress. Ryans arguments stemmed from a religious and economic foundation, not from the huge political liability the issue had become for the Republican Party during the 2012 presidential campaign.
Youre a Catholic; Im a Catholic; we cannot have a permanent underclass of Americans exploited in America, Ryan told Gutierrez, according to the Democrats recollection of the November discussion.

Statements like this from politicians like Ryan just fry me. Luis Gutierrez has a 100% endorsement from Planned Parenthood, yet Ryan treats Luis like a guy fully committed to the catholic faith this is ridiculous and Ryan needs to be called out it. Below is a link to info on the praise Luis' gets from PP, and also a link to an article on Catholic Church teaching on immigration. The U.S. Bishops are embellishing the teaching from the Vatican to push for Schumer-Rubio legislation. As a practicing Catholic, I'm getting pretty dismayed by the actions of the Bishops.

Paul, there were some things about you I liked. Those days are over.
He coulda been someone.
He coulda been a contendah...
I guess when even a big doofus like Joey Biden can rip you a new one at the VP debate, it’s all down hill from there. Everybody knows you’re an idiot so why worry about it.

Instead we’ll make the entire middle class a permanent underclass by flooding the job market with illegals.
Then we’ll permanently destroy what’s left of the country with hordes of Democrat voters.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Ryan is an absolute fool blinded by some irrational calling to save the world. How about saving the taxpayers.
“Ryan is an absolute fool blinded by some irrational calling to save the world.”
That about nails it.
Like every politican, Ryan is in it for reelection in a democrat district and a big pay day from the left.
As a Catholic, I do not at all appreciate his attempt to use my religion as a club in a partisan political debate.
now you know why romney and the GOPe chose ryan.

Paul, my friend, one, they're not Americans. Two, there's no evidence they want to become Americans. Three, the purpose of immigration is to benefit Americans and the United States, you seems solely concerned about the illegal invaders. They're not immigrants. Four, what's to prevent the same people from importing a new group, a new underclass to be exploited, once the current underclass of illegal invaders is legalized?
Have you spent a second of really thinking this through, Paul? In you conversation with Mark Levin, you simply seemed not to understand the situation either due to inability or unwillingness.
Frankly, I think you've been bought off, convinced by the Big Business types to support illegal invasion. No bill has been submitted that will stop the importation of new underclass. And you talk with Gutierrez to "fix" the problem. Is that stupidity or insanity?
