Ryan asks Trump to hold off on scrapping DACA

(CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday gave a major boost to legislative efforts to preserve protections for young undocumented immigrants -- and urged President Donald Trump to not tear up the program.

Responding to a question about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, on his hometown radio station WCLO in Janesville, Wisconsin, Ryan said Congress was working on a legislative fix to preserve(sic) the problem.

"I actually don't think he should do that," Ryan said of Trump's consideration of terminating the program. "I believe that this is something that Congress has to fix."

Who knew?

Definitely not I!

[gratuitous]

3. Let's not jump the gun

Ryan's just telling Trump that the heartless and cruel repeal of DACA, unnecessarily fucking with people's lives, can be put on the back burner for right this second. What I hear is, "Let's take our time and really fuck these people over."

6. Good point!

Never trust any of these guys....

4. Ryan said that this is something Congress has to fix.

Uh oh

In Reepland, "fix" always means "break."

[leftstreet]

8. Yeah, not holding my breath on GOPer Congress 'fixing'

anything

[madokie]

14. Like in the pet world

FIX is not a good word

[Raster]

7. Paul "Irish Undertaker" Ryan has been *carefully* testing the waters...

...I have a feeling the Rethuglicans are looking beyond tRump* for 2020. No matter how many rallies and HOW EARLY their timing, most high-level Rethuglicans DO NOT SEE tRump* as their party's nominee for 2020. Most are hoping tRump* decides on his own not to seek renomination... or perhaps that Mueller does that for him. Ryan, heartless bastard though he may be, realized someone has to pick up the pieces A.T. (after tRump*) and is pro'ly thinking he might be the "man" to do it.

9. Assuming he escapes any fallout from investigations

oh yeah, you know he'll run

[Raster]

13. And that is a VERY SALIENT POINT. I'm thinking the taint of easy Russian money...

...may have been hard to resist for much of the Rethuglican High Command. I think Comrade McConnell is dirty. I would not doubt Ryan much the same.

10. Orrin Hatch to Trump: Don't rescind DACA.

11. Of course, any law Congress passes along these lines

will be vetoed by Trump. Does Ryan think he can come even close to getting the two thirds of the House (let alone the Senate) needed to override?

[leftstreet]

12. Good point

It's obviously posturing from Ryan, and if he has a 'plan' to end-run a veto...who knows
