Paul Ryan Accuses Democrats Of Caring More About Open Borders Than Kids

Source: Huffington Post

It was very Trumpian.

By Elise Foley

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suggested Thursday that Democrats don’t care that much about the plight of immigrant families at the border, taking a page straight from the playbook of President Donald Trump.

“I’m beginning to think that the Democrats who make this alternative argument are less interested in keeping families intact and more interested in having open borders,” Ryan said at a press conference.

“And the last thing we want to do is have an incentive for illegal immigration and open borders. We want to keep families intact and enforce our laws and secure our border,” he continued, adding that drugs coming across the border contribute to the opioid crisis.

Politicians from both parties routinely accuse one another of caring more about politics than issues. But Ryan’s comments were inaccurate ― Democrats are not pushing for open borders ― and they were a milder version of Trump’s message. Anyone who opposes the president’s immigration views, according to Ryan and Trump, is a willing enabler or even supporter of illegal border crossings and drugs coming in from Mexico.

He knowingly took Russian money and information to help Republicans during the last election, and joked about Russian connections with Rohrabacher, so he needs to keep his pardon from Trump card handy.

they (House Republicans) needed to keep that information inside the family. First he claimed it was never said. When he found out it had been recorded he lied to cover his ass claiming it was just a joke.

I hope Mueller remembers that little incident.

1. Democrats want to give your money to poor (black and brown) people.
2. Democrats only care about winning, so they let poor (black and brown) people cross the border at will.
3. Democrats want America turned into one of those (black and brown) countries that promote COMMUNISM!
4. Democrats elected that one (black) president who hated you because you were born in AMERICA!
5. Did I mention those other bad (black and brown) people? Oh, and teh gays want to take your gunz and perform abortions at Planned Parenthood.

You can't be strong on borders and care about children being separated from their parents, possibly forever.

You can't be strong on borders and be against Trump's wall, for which he promised the American people would not pay.

The only reason he's not running for re-election is that he knows that he'd lose and being a loser hurts his hopes of running for President.

His plan is to lay low, collect the short-term benefits of ruining the economy for the rest of us, and when the Democrats eventually fix the problems he's helped cause, he'll run for President railing against the "tax and spend" Democrats.
