Paul Ryan Slams Trump’s Border Security and Immigration Plan a Week before Convention (VIDEO)

Speaker Paul Ryan slammed Donald Trump’s border security and immigration plan a week before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Ryan insists rounding up illegal immigrants and sending them back home “is not the right thing to do.”

** Sweden is deporting 80,000 refugees this year.
** Austria will deport 50,000 migrants by 2019.
** Norway is deporting 9,000 migrants this year.
** Saudi Arabia deported over 250,000 migrant workers in 2014.

Obviously, a country is capable of deporting illegals in mass numbers.

The Hill reported:

A week before the GOP nominating convention, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) made clear he disagrees with presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump’s plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.

“I don’t agree with that. I don’t think rounding up 11 million people A) is the right thing to do, B) would work,” Ryan said during a CNN televised town hall event. “And I don’t think you’d like to see what we’d have to do to the country to do that.”

Ryan and Trump represent two different camps in the Republican Party on the issue of immigration.

Trump is a hardliner who’s called for building a wall along the southern border and deporting everyone in the country here illegally. Ryan has pushed for immigration reform legislation during his congressional career, though he believes the country first needs to secure its border.

“I think you have to secure the border, you have to have reforms that get people out of the shadows and get right with the law and make sure while you are securing the border, you are fixing what’s broken in the legal immigration system,” said Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee.

“That to me is an approach that makes sense and it won’t require a round-up or mass deportation.”
