Paul Ryan's Pledge To Freedom Caucus: ‘No Immigration Reform Under Obama'

[UCmeNdc]

“There will be no comprehensive immigration reform under this president,” Paul Ryan told the National Journal on Tuesday, confirming a promise he made to help him secure the top spot in the Republican leadership. On Thursday, Ryan won his bid for Speaker of the House, thanks in part to his no-immigration-reform pledge. It was not initially clear what Ryan, a Republican moderate, had promise the GOP’s Freedom Caucus in the closed-door meeting that won him their approval.

Immigration advocates had hoped that Ryan’s predecessor, John Boehner, might put a comprehensive reform bill up for a vote.

“With Speaker Boehner stepping down and his job no longer on the line, there is no reason not to have a vote,” said U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Chicago), whose quote was reproduced in a Chicago Sun-Times editorial urging Boehner to do just that.

1. "There will be no humanity in this congress."

Let the government dole boy have it! He's been living on the government dole for so long that he refuses to respect hard working people and let them pull themselves up. F-you Paul Ryan and the government ass you sit on. What a piece of manure! If dole boy had done a moments worth of real work in his entire free-loader life, he'd be singing a different tune. There is not a single ounce of good in this monster.
