New House Speaker Paul Ryan on Sunday all but ruled out working alongside President Barack Obama on any changes to the U.S. immigration policy, and his reason is good.
“I think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue,” Ryan said in an interview aired on the CBS program “Face the Nation.”
“He tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders, so that is not in the cards. I think if we reach consensus on how best to achieve border and interior enforcement security, I think that’s fine,” Ryan added.
Did anyone expect anything else?
Now this is one of the first things out of his mouth to make sense, and it sets a new tone for House leadership. Soon people will only remember John Boehner as the one who ruled with a fist and cried at a drop of the hat.

Democrats consistently support illegals who break our laws over the American people. Sanctuary cities are a perfect example. This is probably a good move on Ryan’s part, because “fixing immigration” to Obama and the Democrats means amnesty. Our de-facto amnesty policy is what got us into the mess we are in now in the first place.

Obama ignores the existing laws, so creating new ones that he will ignore is an act of futility. The Democrat Party/MSM tag team are using the immigration issue in a political blame-game. But as long as we have a criminal regime in the White House, the laws on the books will NEVER be enforced.

Do you think Ryan made the right decision to speak about his intentions publicly? Will Obama go after him to try to make him look like the problem?
