They contend that Paul Ryan is an immigration extremist \u2013 and point to historical records placing him at the center of a 1990-era corporate-led sabotage of immigration curbs then sought by both parties.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, the president of the immigration control group NumbersUSA, Roy Beck, described Paul Ryan as \u201cterrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nobody in the Republican Party who could be worse than Paul Ryan,\u201d Beck implored. \u201cHe has spent his entire adulthood ideologically connected to the open borders crowd. Open Borders is in his ideological DNA. That\u2019s the terrifying thing. He\u2019s an ideologue and his spent his whole life working for ideologues. Open borders seeps out of every pore of his being. This isn\u2019t personal, it\u2019s just who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s ideological fidelity to Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy has been well documented. Also well-documented is his intimate alliance with Congressman Luis Gutierrez and Mick Mulvaney to complete Senator Marco Rubio\u2019s amnesty push \u2013 earning him Gutierrez\u2019s effusive endorsement for House Speaker. But less discussed, Roy Beck explains, is that Ryan has been at the center of efforts to open America\u2019s border for the last twenty years \u2013 playing a starring role in several high-stakes immigration battles that altered forever the future of the GOP and the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of Bloomberg\u2019s John Heilemann, who co-authored the book Game Change with Time Magazine\u2019s Mark Halperin: \u201c[Ryan\u2019s] ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep. A prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of [Cesar] Conda and an ally of [Rick] Swartz [founder of the pro-amnesty National Immigration Forum], Ryan was the staffer who had aided Jack Kemp and William Bennett in their crusade against Proposition 187.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Times adds in a 2012 article that Ryan, \u201cworked to water down the strict immigration limits in a bill Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, was working to pass in the mid-1990s\u2026 As a staffer in Washington, he worked for Jack Kemp and Sen. Sam Brownback \u2014 both of whom were part of the Republicans\u2019 pro-immigration wing, and who fought crackdown efforts from within their own party\u2026 As a congressman, he voted for a 2002 legalization bill, praised the 2006 Senate immigration bill backed by Mr. Bush and co-sponsored a 2009 Democratic bill that would have legalized immigrant farmworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, in the words of pro-amnestyIleana Ros-Lehtinen Ryan worked \u201cevery day\u201d to pass the mass amnesty bill for all of America\u2019s illegal immigrant population.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan\u2019s immigration journey began as college intern working in Washington, when he developed a relationship with Cesar Conda, one of the nation\u2019s top strategists pursuing mass immigration. Rubio would later tap Conda as his Senate Chief of Staff, to help him devise the Gang of Eight immigration plan and then later to advise his presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>As AP wrote in 2012, during his time as an intern, \u201c[Ryan] caught the eye of a top [Senator] Kasten aide, Cesar Conda, who offered Ryan a post on Kasten\u2019s staff after Ryan\u2019s 1992 graduation, his first full-time Washington job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Conda later went on to say, \u201cEvery chance he [Paul Ryan] got, he\u2019d take the opportunity to pop his head into my office.\u201d To this day, on Conda\u2019s LinkedIn page, he promotes that he has been \u201cdescribed by the Associated Press as one of Rep. Paul Ryan\u2019s \u2018conservative mentors.&#8217;\u201d AP notes that Conda continued to play a \u201cpivotal role\u201d throughout Ryan\u2019s career: \u201cIn 2007, Conda was an adviser to Romney\u2019s presidential campaign and introduced the two men in Washington. A scheduled 15-minute meeting lasted nearly an hour, Conda said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After college, Paul Ryan worked alongside former-New York Congressman Jack Kemp in their coordinated attack California\u2019s Proposition 187, a measure pushed by GOP Governor Pete Wilson \u2013 and approved by a wide popular vote \u2013 which denied state benefits to illegals and required that they be turned over to federal authorities if caught. The measure was blocked by a judge and never went into effect\u2013 if it had, potentially millions of California\u2019s illegals, chain migrants and their children would have returned home, unable to draw benefits or alter the state\u2019s political bent.<\/p>\n<p>As National Review reported in 2013, Paul Ryan told EWTN host Raymond Arroyo,\u201d\u2018I actually campaigned with Jack Kemp against a thing called Prop 187,\u2019 [\u2026] [Ryan] said they both worried that the proposal would burn Republicans within the immigrant community, and \u2018make it so that Latino voters would not hear the other messages of empowerment.\u2019\u201d&#8230;READ MORE HERE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breitbart News by JULIA HAHN 11 Oct 2015 EXCLUSIVE\u2013 NumbersUSA President: Paul Ryan \u2018Terrifying,\u2019 \u2018Open Borders Seeps Out of Every Pore Of His Being\u2019 As donor class Republicans and beltway pundits intensify their \u201cDraft Ryan\u201d campaign, anti-amnesty advocates are pleading with House Republicans to quash the candidacy of the man they call the most open-borders [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7597"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7597"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7620,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7597\/revisions\/7620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
