I don't know Ryan's immigration vote history...but running for President seems to be a good
incentive for him to work for reform.
Quote:
Paul Ryan, the Republicans’ designated budget wonk, says avoiding a “debt crisis” is paramount, but not the only issue on which Republicans see a chance of progress this year.
At a Wall Street Journal breakfast, the Wisconsin Republican singled out immigration as one area – perhaps one of the only areas — where Republicans and Democrats might find common ground.
“I’ve longed believed in immigration reform,” he said, “and I think there are other Republicans who do so as well. That’s an area where Democrats have to ask themselves: Do we want law to fix the problem, or are we just looking for a political issue? And I think there are a lot of good legislators on the other side of the aisle who really, really want to fix this problem, and so I’m encouraged by that.”
