Paul Ryan’s Open Borders Push With Luis Gutierrez Exposed in 2013 Video
Shocking? Nah, why should it be? There’s not much of anything “shocking” any more. Sometimes surprising, perhaps, like when I read this and learn how enthusiastically Paul Ryan is about completely open borders, come one, come all:
“Ryan then outlined his plan to grant amnesty to the illegal aliens, in addition to all the foreign nationals to whom Ryan wants to give expedited admission slips:
“We have to offer people a path to earned legalization. We have to invite people to come out of the shadows… We need to make sure that the children who are here, who are brought here, who did not choose to come here, who were brought by their parents– that they have an ability to earn citizenship in a far faster way. These are the things that we think are the principles that Republicans and Democrats can come together on.
By arguing that speedy citizenship should be guaranteed to any illegal alien brought here by his or her parents, Ryan has made another argument for open borders. There are 2 billion youth in the world; under Ryan’s theory, if any of their parents smuggle them into the United States, the parents should be made voting citizens. As former USCIS Director Ken Palinkas has explained, granting amnesty to illegal immigrant minors, “extend[s] birthright citizenship in the future to include the foreign citizens of other countries” and represents a promise of “perpetual amnesty.”
Ryan describes this “open” immigration system and how it will replace American workers:
We need to let legal immigrants come here legally. We can’t have a system where we pay homage and adherence to the rule of law if we don’t have an open system where people can come here in search of their American dream, where the work that won’t be done by people who are already here can be filled by the people who want to come here and do those jobs.
National Review’s Rich Lowry once declared that Republican politicians who argue there are jobs Americans won’t do—or to use Ryan’s words “work that won’t be done by people who are already here”— “that person should be shot, he should be hanged, he should be wrapped in a carpet and thrown in the Potomac River.”
“Surprising” may not be the correct the term though. Maybe “depressing’ or “infuriating”, or just “puzzling”: why did I think that Mitt Romney’s selection of this nut case for his running mate in 2012 was a good idea? Read the entire article. It is quite revealing.
