Thread: Paul Ryan: House To Vote On Amnesty In October…

TeaParty.org


(Breitbart) – During a town hall meeting in Racine, WI, House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) revealed the House Republican Leadership plans to pass multiple immigration bills and then combine them with the Senate legislation in the conference process to create a comprehensive bill.

Ryan said the goal is to make what he and the House GOP leadership considers improvements to the Senate bill.

“A lot of people are saying, just pass the Senate bill,” Ryan explained. “That’s not what the House is going to do. I think we can make it better.”
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, “Ryan said in the House, where the Republicans are in the majority, the intent ‘is to bring five or six bills… to fix these problems one step at a time in a comprehensive way.’”

Ryan said negotiations are ongoing in the House for when certain bills will get to the floor. “Tentatively, in October, we’re going to vote on a border security bill, an interior enforcement bill, a bill for legal immigration,” he said.

The Journal-Sentinel noted that Ryan also said the House will vote on a bill that would grant illegal aliens amnesty. “We’re going to vote on a bill for people who are undocumented,” Ryan said.

Conservatives fear a strategy like Ryan’s will not end in any serious improvement of the Senate bill, a piece of legislation even most in House GOP leadership admit is fundamentally flawed. As Breitbart News has detailed, many conservatives believe such a plan is a backdoor to amnesty provisions similar to those found in the Gang of Eight bill.

In response to Ryan’s announcement this week, one congressional GOP aide said it is the wrong way to go forward because the resulting bill could end up even more convoluted and problematic than what was already passed by the Senate.

“There is no doubt: the plan is to send bills to conference and use the senate bill to make a mega-comprehensive proposal,” the source said in an email Friday afternoon. “It could end up even longer than 1200 pages and have even more big industry giveaways.”

“And once that’s done there’s no turning back,” the aide explained. “If the people don’t speak up during August it may be too late.”

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) also commented on the development, saying, “Instead of trying to save the Schumer bill with a ‘comprehensive’ accord, Republicans need to focus on helping out-of-work Americans find good-paying jobs that can support a family.”

“The comprehensive effort underway in Congress not only provides amnesty before security measures are achieved but calls for an unprecedented increase in low-skill immigration,” he said. “Our immigration system is of course broken, but the efforts we are seeing now would make things much worse–particularly for struggling workers of all backgrounds.”

Paul Ryan: ‘I will debate anybody’ who says immigration bill is ‘amnesty’

Chris Moody, Yahoo! News June 12, 2013 The Ticket

Earlier this year, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul warned lawmakers not to trip over loaded phrases like "pathway to citizenship" and "amnesty" to describe the effort to overhaul immigration. Doing so, Paul said, would polarize the debate over reform—and he was right.

Not surprisingly, opponents of the immigration bill regularly refer to it as an offer of amnesty to immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, while proponents throw around the loosely defined term "pathway to citizenship" to see who is for it and, so, on their "side."

Now that there's actually an immigration bill making its way through the Senate and a similar version coming in the House, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who support the effort are pushing back against opponents who use the A-word to frame the bill.

On Wednesday, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, who has supported forms of immigration reform since he was a House staffer in the 1990s, declared that he would "debate anybody" who calls the current bipartisan effort "amnesty."

"Earned legalization is not amnesty," Ryan said during a forum on immigration sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers. "I will debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress are amnesty. They're not. Amnesty is wiping the slate clean and not paying any penalty for having done something wrong."

Ryan pointed to provisions baked into the Senate bill from the beginning that require those in the United States to pay a fine, back taxes, undergo background checks and enter a years-long probationary period before earning citizenship, a process that can take up to 15 years.

"That," Ryan said, "is not amnesty."

During the forum, Paul also said he was confident a bill offering unauthorized immigrants a path to citizenship could pass the Republican-majority House. He added, however, that instead of passing the comprehensive bill as one package like in the Senate, the House may need to break it into different parts to secure passage.

"One big bill usually crashes under its own weight. That's what we had in 2006. But if we had a bill that's broken up into a few pieces, all of which can join in the end of a process, then you can get all of these things moving," Ryan said. "That's what I think we'll end up doing in the House. I think an earned legalization—not amnesty—an earned legalization process which deals with all of these issues, including the undocumented population, is something that I believe the House can and will deal with."

Paul Ryan is a Trojan horse. He is not and has never been conservative. His mentor is CESAR CONDA, Marco Rubio's chief of staff! Guys like Ryan typically come from a conservative area, are actually democrats, but can't get elected, so they pretend to be conservative. Stop being fooled by these interlopers! Another one is Liz Cheney...GOOD friends with her father's former domestic policy advisor, CESAR CONDA, the biggest open border hack next to Grover Norquist ever bought off by Microsoft, facebook & the Koch Brothers!
