Thread: POLL: Who should be next Speaker?

Well, his goal wasn't amnesty, it was to get them registered so he could deport them. I oppose that method. I prefer authorizing states and local governments to enforce US immigration law because the local cops know who they are, where they are and what they're doing, something the feds don't know. In 2013, when he introduced this bill, that's when the government was challenging states rights to enforce US immigration law and Congress wasn't trying to pass a bill to clear the way for states to enforce US immigration law.

I'm not going to hold that bill that didn't go anywhere that was an extension of his effort many years earlier to try to register these people so they could be deported, against him. We have better alternatives now, with some wins at least partial at the US Supreme Court that uphold much of Arizona's state immigration law. We have Marsha Blackburn and Trey Gowdy's bill HR 1148 to pass, if Trey can stop hounding Planned Parenthood long enough to actually work on his own bill and get it out Committee to the floor for a vote.

The reality is Congress can't do squat on immigration until we elect at least 6 more Republican Senators than we have now and put Trump in the White House. That's just the reality.

He was a proponent some time back of increasing foreign worker visas, but I think he's realized the companies using that are cheating and by this point we actually need a Moratorium.

In any event, he would be a great Speaker overall. He's tied in tight with the Freedom Caucus, now, too, or at least I think he is, he said as much in his statements today, but right now they're already committed to Daniel Webster.

At this point, our goal should be:

ANYONE BUT RYAN. Of all the choices, he is the worst.
