PAUL RYAN, JUST ANOTHER PHONY?
In Paul Ryan of Wisconsin we have yet another so-called conservative who appears to be nothing but a complete and utter fraud. And for a guy who so many claim is so bright, his recent statements on the immigration bill make it quite clear that he's nothing more than a naïve fool. I mean it's either that or he's simply corrupt and willing to go along with this president and the Democrat Party on nearly anything. Because this boob said just yesterday, on Tuesday, that the Senate's border security amendment is likely to go a long way toward helping immigration reform pass in the House. At least that's what was reported in The Washington Times. Now the point has been made, and abundantly clear, that that border security amendment to which Mr. Ryan refers is completely hollow.
I think Mr. Ryan is well aware of the fact that the Secretary of Homeland Security can pretty much nullify it at any time. If he isn't, then he's nowhere near being as bright as so many people claim him to be. So just what the Hell is Ryan talking about? Ryan claimed, "We're going to take our time." And then went on to say, "The border-security triggers are very important." Adding, "And so that’s going to be probably the keystone of the House legislation, which is, first, you've got to secure the border." Just like Rubio over in the Senate, this guy is talking straight out his ass. He's looking us dead in the eye and lying to us. WHY? The Republicans in the House, who are supposed to be our last line of defense against this corrupt president, are laying the ground work for yet another cave.
The Senate on Monday approved the addition of 20,000 more border patrol agents for the Mexican border and put in place a requirement to install 700 miles of fencing within a decade. But the fine print in this little jewel, and believe me there is plenty of it, should make it very apparent, even to Ryan, that this amendment is nothing it not completely bogus. And yet Ryan says, "I think that that passing helps make this final passage even more likely." Ryan babbled on saying, "I think that making sure that we're emphasizing the border is going to be secure and under control so the rest of immigration reform can come alongside it after the border is secured makes getting a final law that much more likely." And according to Ryan, "But the House will do its own legislation. It won't do the Senate."
Ryan seems to believe that the Senate's emphasis on border security is more in tune with what House lawmakers want to see in immigration reform, at least that's according to The Hill. Ryan also said, "What the Senate just did is, they moved closer to the House's position, which obviously makes final legislation more likely." Well if that's true then the House's position is as fucked up as the Senate one. Sorry, but there's just other way to put it! Ryan said he had every expectation that the House plan would be "similar" to the Senate's bipartisan proposal. Well, gee, now doesn't that just give everybody that nice warm and fuzzy feeling? Ah, NO! That's completely nuts! Ryan was quick to add though, "Similar, but we're going to make sure we do it right." Sure glad you got my back, Paul!
And Ryan promised, "We're going to make sure we secure the border. We're going to make sure we have the E-Verify system up and running and fix legal immigration." He added that the House intends to take up the immigration reform issue in July. Well sure, might as well strike while the iron is hot, right? Look, I'm sorry, but there is just no way in Hell that I can bring myself to actually believe that the Republicans in the House can bring themselves to the point where they will be able to do the right thing. Being spineless wimps is just part of their genetic makeup. And it's so sad, because the country is being dismantled right before our very eyes, and those whom we thought we could count on to prevent just such a thing from occurring now seem to be interested in nothing more than to assist in that dismantling.
