REPORT: House Considering More VISAs, Not Wall Funding

By 1600 Staff

Breitbart News reports that a leaked draft of an immigration proposal that the news source attributes to Speaker Ryan includes more work visa for immigrants, but makes no mention of a border wall.

According to Breitbart News:

The leaked draft only ends two categories of the process known as “chain migration,” where newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. Chain migration is partially responsible for importing more than 10.5 million foreign nationals to the country in the last decade.

The chain migration categories that allow newly naturalized citizens to bring their adult married children and adult siblings to the U.S. would be eliminated by Ryan’s amnesty deal. Meanwhile, naturalized citizens would still be allowed to bring their parents and unmarried adult children to the U.S. While eliminating just two of the four chain migration categories, Ryan’s amnesty deal merely repurposes much of those roughly 88,400 visas to allow businesses to import foreign workers to take white collar American jobs. The Diversity Visa Lottery program, which Trump has repeatedly asked the Republican-controlled Congress to end, would likewise be eliminated, but repurposed.

The Visa Lottery gives out about 55,000 visas every year to foreign nationals from a multitude of countries, including those with known terrorist problems – such as Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Yemen, and Uzbekistan. Since 2005, nearly 510,000 foreign nationals have won the Visa Lottery to come to the U.S. Ryan’s amnesty deal would end the Visa Lottery program, but repurpose those 55,000 visas and hand them over to DACA illegal aliens for amnesty to stay in the U.S. permanently.

If the draft is put forth by Speaker Ryan, it means that the House of Representatives is again passing on funding President Trump’s border wall, and is failing the test set forth by the White House. More immigration visas without addressing security issues is a non-starter with the Trump White House. Speaker Ryan was given clear benchmarks by the president, which must be part of any immigration solution.

Paul Ryan is a thorn in the agenda of President Trump. He is a traitor, a RINO at best. He should step down now and have the House chose their Speaker, his heart is not for the good of the US, it is for the good of himself and his family. Step down Paul Ryan, do not destroy this country.

Ryan is not running in November 2018 because he knows his days are numbered. Way more people know of his betrayal of the conservative voters than don’t know. He is leaving and has already chosen his own replacement that will be promoted by the GOP Establishment. From what I have read he wants to elevate one of his aids/chauffer to his House seat. Hopefully the people of Wisconsin will NOT let that happen. Wisconsin does NOT need another RINO like Ryan.

He is not a rino he is a criminal! The house can vacate him right now, and stop his childish actions! He is so jealous of Pres Trump, he can’t see straight! No one wants any of his weird policies, they want the Trump agenda! I wish the pres would throw his ass out now, the feckless, dirty treasonous liar!

ryan is more than a thorn! He is guilty of treason and sedition against the government of Pres. Trump! He should be prosecuted for what he has done since Donald Trump has been president! Look what he is doing to his own party! They will lose in 2018 if they don’t put their big boy pants on and act and quit whining and appeasing!

Little Paul Ryan is a Rhino and unAmerican. He is not looking after the citizens of the United States. He is going
against what the people want and our federal immigration laws already on the books. Deport all illegals including DACA which was illegal to begin with. Build the damn wall. Our welfare cow needs to dry up. Little weasel Paul needs to step down ASAP! Ameticans first!

IMO part of the problem is some of the Republicans seem to think they are being charitable to down and out people with their concern for immigrants Illegal or otherwise . They are misguided for two reasons. One no such concern for others has ever been demonstrated by democrats. Nope, their only concern is for the party to benefit from anything they do, not just in border issues. The second reason is govt is not a charitable org. Nothing they can do is charity because they spend money and make laws to govern and keep together the nation. Not the party which is communism. And the money they use is robbing the taxpayers to buy votes. Pols are in no way considered as like Robin Hood even though they like to present themselves as “helping the poor”. RINOs are just fools who rush in to be fleeced by the democrats and stripped of their honor and integrity!. Who use anybody in anyway possible to advance the interests of the party. The three things important to liberals are the party, the party, the party. The liberals are hacking the nation, both politically and financially.

NO MATTER WHAT ELSE HAPPENS WE MUST HAVE A SOUTHERN BORDER WALL. NO EXCUSES, JUST DO IT. I DON’T CARE HOW YOU DO IT.

A NATION IS NOT SOVEREIGN IF IT CAN’T DEFEND ITS BORDERS. IMMIGRANT “RAIDS” ARE FUNDED BY ANTI-AMERICANS LIKE GEORGE SOROS. HE AMOUNTS TO A CRIMINALLY INSANE PERSON WHO HATES AMERICA AND CREATES CHAOS, FUNDING GANGS LIKE BLM OR ANTIFA, IT CREATES DECLINE AND IT “PAY OFF” IN THE MARKET. SOROS POLICY WAS KICKED OUT OF HIS HOMELAND HUNGARY.

STEP #1 TO DEFEND YOUR NATION’S SOVEREIGNTY WHEN IT IS BEING VIOLATED DAILY… PUT UP A BIG STRONG IMPENETRABLE BORDER WALL, PERIOD.

WE DON’T WANT TO FILL UP US JAILS. IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE. WE JUST WANT A BORDER WALL TO KEEP THE BORDERS “SAFE, SANE AND SOVEREIGN” MAGA!

Please Mr Trump! No one in this world loves to help those in need or looking for a new nation to build dreams in than I do. That being said, please get the wall built for many reasons other than what they keep complaining about. Unfortunately it is time to check out security balances. May God help and protect you and our nation. No proper security, then no person will have the chance to pursue the American dream. Those who hide behind walls now that have the largest mouths really have no say in the matter. Thank you Top! You’re a hard working man.

Anything you do help the illegals will cause an increase in the number of illegals coming here to get all of that free stuff because most of them do not really want to work for their food and housing.
The worse you treat those illegals the fewer illegals will come here to get treated like cattle and have to work their tails off just get a little food to eat and a place to sleep.

Ryan has made the mistake, of trying to make himself attractive to the illegals for his plan to run for President. He will lose this fight, there are more true Republicans that would reject him and the Democrats don’t want him. Go home Rino Ryan!

Oh Hell no! Ryan is following the DNC and NOT the will of the People and President! Fund and build the wall, get rid of this catch and release garbage and make it catch and release back across the border! Place the Military along the Border for training helping out the Border Patrol protect our Borders! End Chain Migration to a limited number and if you immigrate to this country you MUST be able to read and write and learn English within two years! You also cannot have any communicable disease or criminal record and if you commit a serious crime you will be expelled.

Ryan is a purebred traitor to the American people. He’s no more a conservative than Schumer so he’s a no thank you to Wisconsin. He’s being a brat because people have been calling for him to act like an American instead of a Democrat so now he has his knickers in a wad just like McPain and will be trying to foul Trump up. Sick and tired of these children in office.
