WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Sunday it would be ridiculous to work with President Barack Obama on immigration policy reform, saying he cannot trust the president on the issue.
Republicans have fought Obama's unilateral steps that bypassed a gridlocked Congress to try to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation.
Obama's executive orders, announced last November but put on hold by the courts, would let up to 4.7 million illegal immigrants stay without threat of deportation. It was aimed mainly at helping 4.4 million people whose children are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.
About 270,000 people would be able to stay under the expansion of a 2012 program that offered deportation relief to people brought illegally to the United States as children, allowing them work.
"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."
McConnell said that Obama's immigration changes made it "impossible" for this Congress to act but that lawmakers could act in the next Congress under a different president.
Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican congressman chosen as speaker on Thursday, also said that "it's time we take some policy risks by showing the people what we really believe, who we are, and how we can fix this country's great problems."
the last 3 paragraphs show what their beliefs are, who they are and how the fix their problems we don't have an issue with Hispanics immigration reform has always been their bogeyman legislation. they fear that allowing an already pivotal voting block to further manifest hurts them because they are less likely to vote for those who hate and discriminate against them. ignoring that reality or denyong it puts them further back in line of Latino favorite peoples.
not discussing it with Pres. is just a gamble they can steal another election get their bigoted guy in and have their talk about immigration safely assured that it ain't gonna happen. recognize who's zoomin who.
