The Freedom Caucus may have buyer’s remorse when it comes to Paul Ryan:
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)94%
reveals that conservative House members have received no commitment from Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)58%
that he would in any way try to curb the nation’s importation of Muslims on visas.By the end of the year, Congress will have to pass a government funding measure to appropriate funds for all federal operations. The Boehner-Obama debt deal, backed by Ryan, established the spending levels— but Congress still has to pass the actual spending bills which contain the money.
Included in this package will be funding for the Office of Refugee Resettlement and other refugee-related operations, thus allowing the President to carry out his resettlement plans. In order to stop the President from carrying out these plans, Congress would have to include restrictions in the year-end funding bill that would be advanced by Ryan and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)52%
However, a recent interview with House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan suggests that it may be an uphill climb to get the House’s new Speaker to include such a measure in the year-end funding bill. Jordan told Breitbart that the Freedom Caucus received no commitment from Ryan that he reduce visa issuances to Muslim countries.
This admission is significant because Jordan’s Freedom Caucus played a key role in installing Paul Ryan— who has a two decade long history of pushing open borders immigration policies— as House Speaker. By Ryan’s own terms, he would have withdrawn his consideration of the Speakers position if he did not receive the support of the Freedom Caucus members.
Ryan’s support for immigration reform has rankled conservatives, but the Speaker has always been a staunch defender of American national security. Let’s hope that this is just an oversight, and that he’s serious about defending America.
