The illegal invasion is a religious mission for Paul Ryan.. His loyalty is to the US Catholic Bishops, not to the Constitution and ‘we the people’. Furthermore, Ryan is all about using we tax payers to fund his mission work, and calls it charity.

uhhhh....isn't amnesty not being amnesty if you pay a fine exactly the same as in the Middle Ages sin not being sin if a person paid for an indulgence?

Please, please, please voters across the political spectrum....Cantorize this globalist puppet.

“Wow... Is Ryan THAT stupid?”

Yes, he is is, but the more important question is whether or not Wisconsin voters are still stupid enough to vote for that POS again

How about stopping all the double- and triple-dipping that’s obviously going on with EBT, etc.?

According to Ryan, we’re too poor to build a wall but we can afford to provide illegal aliens with room and board in our country.

Its all about priorities. The Speaker Of The House does not feel America should be secure because he doesn’t want to do anything about it.

Let’s see if the voters of his own district endorse that position on August 9th.

How about a compromise. If you accept amnesty, of any sort, for coming into the country illegally, you can never be a citizen, can only qualify eventually for a green card, and can never, ever, vote.

Deportation is not deportation because you get to leave on your own, before you are detained, if you don’t want to be banned from America for life.

So the fine is just the price tag Ryan puts on amnesty.

Paul Ryan is totally right. Many anti-illegal voices have sabotaged their own case by not knowing the English language.

But AMnesty does exist and has existed ever since the status of illegal alien was created out of thin air in the 1920s.

My wife received Amnesty. She entered the country illegally. Because she married me she was given legal status, and then citizenship without paying any penalty.

Millions of legal immigrants come here illegally. Then they applied for legal status and patiently wait in line for legal entry. A big mistake of everyone in this debate is in not recognizing how much amnesty we have had since the 1920s. Of course pre-1920s there was no need for amnesty as there was no illegality to forgive.

Following in the footsteps of Nancy the ‘red’ Pewlouise. Boehner took the speaker's chair and flat out stated he was not changing Nancy's rules. It was during Nancy's reign I came across the Catholic Bishops website...

“Anything that allows those who entered the USA illegally ...”

I’d add that Ryan can play with the definition of Amnesty but I simply don’t want a hoard of people of other cultures and unknown beliefs piling into this country. And I don’t want to pay for their food, housing, medical care, and protection, and protection for me against some of them.

the fine is probably less than 6 months of welfare payments

From the article:

"The fine is a thousand dollars.
It won't even cover their first Earned Income Credit refund.
It's cheaper than the full cost of legally immigrating to the country.
If that's a fine, so is a visa application."

And you can bet there will be a hidden provision giving the illegals a free pass if they say they do not have the money to pay the "fine".

Your wife should have been thrown out on her keester. Join the Democrat party where you belong. We are a nation of borders and laws. When your wife broke into this country illegally she disrespected everyone that lives here.

Technically he’s correct,

Ryan is absolutely not correct technically,philosophically, morally or legally. Comment #4 explains it quite well. Amnesty with a fine is still amnesty (but with a fine). Ryan is playing word games. I hope his constituents can see through his dishonesty.
