IMMIGRATION…CAN ‘TEAM RINO’ BE STOPPED???

RINO Paul Ryan has become one of those members in the House leading the charge for tackling immigration ‘before’ the election, and confirmed, on Wednesday, that the Republicans are now looking to give illegal immigrants legal status right away, with the chance for a green card, and citizenship, down the line. While there have been rumors that something like this has been in the works for some time, Ryan is the first member of the GOP leadership to lay out the Republican vision publicly. But I just don’t see the need to rush.

Apparently we can’t do something as simple as enforcing current law when it comes to how best to handle the already more than 11 million people already in the U.S. illegally. And most House Republicans oppose the Senate approach, whereby all qualified illegal immigrants would first win legal status, then have the chance to apply for legal permanent residence (also known as a green card), and then for citizenship. House Republicans call that a "special path to citizenship" that is unavailable to those who followed the law.

Many House Republicans have been talking since last summer about a different approach, a "piecemeal approach", and ‘RINO’ Ryan laid it out on Wednesday in an interview with MSNBC’s "The Daily Rundown." According to Ryan, first, illegal immigrants would be offered a "probationary" status, allowing them to work while the government tightened border security and interior enforcement. Officials have explained that this would allow people to work legally while they wait for permanent legal status.

‘RINO’ Ryan said it would make sure that the Barry went ahead with the enforcement provisions. "We want to make sure that we write a law that he can’t avoid," Ryan said. After that, they would be eligible for a "regular work permit," he said. "If those things are met, you satisfy the terms of your probation, you’re not on welfare, you pay a fine, you learn English and civics, and the border’s been secured and interior enforcement independently verified, then you can get a regular work permit," he said.

At that point, this group could apply for green cards using the same system available to any newcomer. "That’s the kind of process we envision," he said. "Which is not a special pathway to citizenship and it’s not going to automatically in any way give an undocumented immigrant citizenship." Some Democrats and immigration advocates have signaled that they could accept this approach, depending on the details. It’s unclear whether enough Republicans would feel the same. But let’s face it all that would really be needed is 34 RINOs.

So, all that ‘Team RINO’ really needs to succeed in getting immigration ’reform’ through the House is to convince at mere 31 of their fellow RINOs to join with them and what will most assuredly be all of the Democrats, in voting to move the measure on to the Senate. That should be easy enough. And so with our joke of a ‘leadership team’ now comprised solely of RINOs, I don’t hold out much hope that what we will come to see legislation billed as ‘comprehensive immigration’ being anything other than exactly what the Democrats want.
