Paul Ryan Opposes Cutting Muslim Immigration, “That’s not who we are”


Although he doesn’t talk much about it, Ryan has always been soft on the subject of immigration, doing little to conceal his sympathies for those who advocate open borders. There have even been critical times in his career where, instead of voting to secure our borders, he has stood in defiance against the rest of his party and threw in his lot with those who would do away with our borders.

As Breitbart explains:

“By declaring that it would not be ‘proper’ or ‘appropriate’ for the United States to consider the religion of a visa applicant— or whether the applicant supports Sharia law or Muslim theocracy— Ryan is effectively suggesting that the United States should not be allowed to select whom we admit based on likelihood of assimilation.

This view is consistent with Ryan’s two decade long history of pushing open borders immigration policies. As NumbersUSA President Roy Beck has said, ‘[Ryan] has spent his entire adulthood ideologically connected to the open borders crowd. Open Borders is in his ideological DNA… Open borders seeps out of every pore of his being… It’s just who he is.’

In 2013, Ryan insisted that it is the job of a U.S. lawmaker to put oneself in the shoes of a foreign national—who does not live in the United States, but would like to come here— and then work to find solutions to improve the life of that foreign citizen:

‘Put yourself in another person’s shoes, which if you’re in elected office, that’s what you kind of have to do that almost every single day. The job we have– and what we do is we take different people’s perspectives. The gentleman from India who’s waiting for his green card… We take all these different perspectives. We process it through our values and our morals and our principles. And then we come up with the answer to try and solve this problem. That’s basically what we do in our jobs.’

Indeed, Ryan was instrumental in defeating an effort to cut visa issuances during the mid-90s, thus derailing the effort to codify into law Civil Rights leader Barbara Jordan’s plan for substantial immigration cuts in order to protect the American worker. As Game Change author John Heilemann wrote in 1996, ‘[Ryan’s] ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep.'”

If only Ryan were as committed to our security as he is to the open borders mob.
