The Patriot Post® · Ryan on a Lawless President

Elaborating on the GOP’s immigration reform proposal, Paul Ryan said, “Here’s the issue that all Republicans agree on: We don’t trust the president to enforce the law. So if you actually look at the standards Republican leadership put out, which is, security first – first, we have to secure the border and [get] interior enforcement. … Those things have to be in law, in practice, and independently verified before the rest of the law can occur.” Our suggestion: Forget legal status and focus on security, enforcement and reforms to the legal process. Even so, it will be almost impossible to overcome what Ryan called “an increasingly lawless presidency.”
