Paul Ryan: Immigration Bills Dead, At Least for This Year
By Joel Gehrke
July 15, 2014
Representative Paul Ryan (R., Wis.,) has given up on passing legislation to overhaul the current immigration system because the border crisis has poisoned the political atmosphere for such an effort, at least for this year.
“It has poisoned it now, that’s for sure,” Ryan told National Review Online, saying he didn’t know if the legislative debate would be feasible next year. “For this session, I believe that’s right.”
Ryan also summarized his view of how to resolve the border crisis. “The ultimate goal ought to be to secure the border, get the resources at the border that you need (and that’s where I think there’s a case for a supplemental; they’re burning through funds). But you’ve got to change the human trafficking law so that we’re not resettling people within the interior of the country, because all that does is create the incentive for more to come,” he said, during an interview after his speech at Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center for Constitutional Studies.
It’s not clear if the House will pass a supplemental appropriations bill without border security provisions included in the legislation. “The question is, what all do we put in this, or do we pass a couple measures? And that’s an ongoing debate,” Ryan said.
Ryan also defended his efforts to pass an immigration overhaul, saying that the legislation should secure the border, and having verified that it was secure, change legal immigration programs to meet labor shortages in the United States.

Its been dead since the 57,000 kids came across, and recent primaries. No one will ever trust this administration, and I can't blame them...

ACLU has filed a lawsuit in the 9th district to provide everyone one of those illegal alien children a tax payer funded attorney to litigate their case.

Immigration Bills
What does this consist of?
Amnesty, building a fence, temp visas, catering to kids etc...
It's all a kabuki show. There is nothing wrong with our current process it's the government who won't enforce it. Both sides
