No one can believe the series of events Speaker of the House Paul Ryan set in motion.
Speaker Ryan is huddling behind closed doors in a series of meetings.
And President Trump will be furious when he finds out how Paul Ryan is planning to stab
him in the back.
Donald Trump stormed through the GOP primary and then won the Presidency on the strength
of his tough stance on illegal immigration.
Trump’s America First immigration policies, which included a border wall and ending Barack
Obama’s illegal executive amnesty program, won over voters in states the GOP hadn’t
carried in a generation.
But now Ryan and treasonous Republicans are hatching a plan to betray Trump on this issue.
And it will lead to disastrous electoral results.
A handful of pro-amnesty Republicans are threatening to sign a discharge petition that would allow
the Democrats to bring a bill legalizing millions of illegal aliens up for a vote.
Instead of stomping out this rebellion, Ryan is negotiating with the turncoat Republicans.
The GOP held a closed door meeting to hammer out the details, and Ryan emerged from the
meeting to tell reporters that he was all-in on ramming amnesty legislation through Congress.
Ryan declared, “The next step is putting pen to paper so we can start getting legislation
to the floor,” and, “Time is of the essence if we want to have a legislative process that
we can control.”
Trump supporters were appalled.
The President’s approval rating is on the rise and the GOP’s prospects in the midterms
are brightening every day.
Americans credit Trump with the booming economy and following through on his promises.
And no pledge was more central to Trump’s appeal than cracking down on illegal immigration.
Ryan is scheming to betray Trump on this front.
The amnesty legislation he is putting together will not include cuts to legal migration,
nor will it end chain migration or the diversity lottery.
Instead, the bill is rumored to move those green cards around to other categories so
employers can continue to drive down the wages of real American citizens with an unending
supply of cheap illegal alien labor.
Ryan has always been one of the leading voices in Congress for open borders and amnesty.
His loyalty has never been to the people of this country or the ideas of American sovereignty.
And on his way out the door – Ryan announced he is leaving Congress after his term is up
in 2018 – he is masterminding a complete betrayal of his party’s President and voters.
All the political gains the GOP has made the last few months will be wiped away.
Republican enthusiasm will plummet if they see their leaders in Congress conspiring to
push anti-American immigration policies.
Ryan’s maneuver increases the likelihood Nancy Pelosi will emerge from November as
the Speaker of the House.
From there, Pelosi can launch a drive to impeach the President.
And she will have the treasonous Paul Ryan and the band of pro-amnesty Republicans to
thank for her new found power.
