TYT: Paul Ryan Vows No Immigration Reform, Because Obama



Paul Ryan is your new Speaker of the House. Is he going to work with Obama better than his predecessor? Of course not. He recently laid out the fact that he’s not going to allow immigration reform and how he’s going to blame Obama for it. The fact is Paul Ryan’s owners/donors don’t want immigration reform so Paul Ryan doesn’t. The “I’m not gonna cuz Obama is untrustworthy” excuse is of course pure bullshit. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) refusal to work with President Obama on immigration is “preposterous,” the White House said Monday.

Press secretary Josh Earnest called Ryan’s claim that he cannot trust the president on the issue “ironic,” given he helped write bipartisan immigration reform legislation in 2013 only to stand with House GOP leaders in Congress who refused to take up a bill.

“It’s a little hard for him to make the claim that somehow the president hasn’t acted in good faith on immigration when Speaker Ryan actively thwarted a compromise he himself helped to broker,” Earnest said.

"And then for him to come back and claim it’s somebody else’s fault? It’s preposterous.”

During a round of Sunday talk show interviews,Ryan said there wouldn’t be any immigration reform legislation during the final year of Obama’s presidency. “*

Ryan hates Obama worse than anyone. Remember 2012? As long as Obama is in power, Ryan will be useless on passing anything.

I'm pretty sure politics is suppose to be bipartisan. Not with Ryan in charge.

Reform is a misnomer. When existing laws are routinely ignored, passing new ones becomes farce.
Republicans oppose amnesty as an admission that America cannot enforce its laws. But the reality is that
turning off the immigration magnet-- the hiring of illegals-- is the only way to solve the problem. Neither Party
can bring themselves to jail the businessmen. That's the problem.
