"A couple weeks ago you voted for defunding DACA," one Dreamer asked Ryan, who was signing copies of his new book, The Way Forward. "It would put me and my sister up for deportation. We just had a question -- do you want to deport me and my sister?"
Ryan largely ignored the question, pressing the activists to "read the position in the book." The activists were escorted away from the congressman.
He was later confronted again by Ray Jose, an organizer with immigrant youth organization United We Dream. Jose was escorted out of the book store by a security guard.
Ryan's office did not immediately return The Huffington Post's request for comment.

"Whites ONLY" sign when ya need one. I'm sure Paul could have found one somewhere in his travels on the 2012 campaign.
