Ryan Sees Chance for Immigration Bill This Year

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.”

Why then is Boehner claiming there will be no work on Immigration in the House? Something is fishy about Ryan's "support."

We should spread the word to our citizen friends that the GOP isn't really serious about CIR. Print all of their statements that demonstrate their unwillingness to take up the CIR debate.

I bet they (Republican leaders) made an agreement to TALK about CIR but have no intention on acting on it.

Let's wait a few weeks....
