As Nehlen’s billboard
suggests, Paul Ryan has a two-decade long history of pushing for open border immigration
policies – including his 2015 effort to fund President Obama’s expansion to
the U.S. refugee resettlement operation.
In speeches, Ryan has made
the case for policies that would effectively dissolve U.S. borders — declaring that the U.S. “is more than [its]
borders.” Ryan has even articulated his support for implementing an immigration
system similar to the open borders policy of the European Union — calling for
“an economic-based immigration system where… labor and supply can meet each
other so we can help fuel our economy and create jobs.”
The phrase “labor supply and
demand can meet each other,” is a centerpiece of open borders thought. Under
this global, one-world theory, any willing employer should be able to hire any willing
worker regardless of what country he or she lives in. This view, that
America is an “idea” and not a “nation,” sees borders as an obstacle to
commerce.
With regards to Islamic
migration, Ryan’s controversial omnibus spending bill funded U.S. visas for nearly 300,000
(permanent and temporary) Muslim migrants in a single year.
While polling data shows that the Republican electorate
overwhelmingly backs proposals to temporarily pause Muslim migration, Ryan has
rejected such proposals.
He has repeatedly ruled out the possibility of making any cuts to
Muslim migration— insisting that “that’s not who we are,” and that such a proposal is “not reflective of our principles.”
However, Ryan has not
explained how importing hundreds of thousands of migrants from nations
that hold sentiments that are anti-women, anti-gay,
anti-religious tolerance, and anti-America benefits the United States or helps
to protect our Western values.
Indeed, as a result of
large-scale Muslim migration, the U.S. has imported several practices and
values that are antithetical to Western principles.
For instance, Muslim
migration has put half a million U.S. girls
and women at risk of suffering the barbaric and misogynistic
practice of Female Genital Mutilation, according to Equality Now. Read More HERE
