We don\u2019t want anybody who believes in open borders,\u201d Schlafly told\u00a0<em>Breitbart<\/em>. \u201cObviously Paul Ryan is not an \u2018America first\u2019 guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly further explained that if Speaker Ryan cannot get in line with the majority of the American electorate on immigration, he \u201cshould resign\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We should not \u201caccept him as Speaker,\u201d Schlafly added\u2014noting that, given Ryan\u2019s constant efforts to undermine his Party\u2019s nominee, \u201cit doesn\u2019t sound like he is loyal to the Republican Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has become a flashpoint in American politics for pushing a deeply divisive and ambitious agenda of national transformation via open borders, mass migration, and transnational trade deals that trim Congressional authority and threaten American workers.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has coupled these globalist policies with support for copious government spending, rolling back criminal sentencing\u00a0penalties and surrendering through silence to various left-wing policy objectives\u2014 among them diversity training, affirmative action and race quotas.<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly has been active in politics for more than one-quarter of all American history, and has attended every single Republican National Convention since 1952. Her seminal 1964 book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Choice-Not-Echo-Expanded-Anniversary\/dp\/162157315X\" target=\"_blank\"><em>A Choice Not An Echo<\/em><\/a>, inspired a generation of conservatives and defined the battle lines between the Republican grassroots and the Party elites. Schlafly helped launch the conservative movement, create the pro-family agenda, and has led the fight against open borders trade and immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>The conservative heroine was also one of Trump\u2019s earliest and most influential endorsements.<\/p>\n<p>In a December 2015 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/01\/10\/phyllis-schlafly-makes-the-case-for-president-trump\/\">sit-down<\/a> with\u00a0<em>Breitbart News<\/em>, Schlafly made the case for a President Trump\u2014 declaring that Trump is the America\u2019s \u201conly hope to defeat the Kingmakers\u201d\u2014 i.e. a select group of cosmopolitan elites who control both major parties and historically determine the parties\u2019 nominees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI endorsed him because it\u2019s the right thing to do,\u201d Schlafly now tells\u00a0<em>Breitbart<\/em>,\u00a0looking back on her decision. \u201c[Trump] believes in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Schlafly seems to suggest that Trump\u2019s fight against the Kingmakers and the politicians who champion their agenda, is not yet finished.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Schlafly discussed the opposition Trump currently faces from members of his own party, such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, who represent the \u201cAmerica Last, donor class agenda\u201d as opposed to Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda, supported by the Republican electorate.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the\u00a0last few months, Speaker Ryan has issued <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/06\/17\/ryanplanstosuetrumpovermuslimpause\/\">statement<\/a> after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/07\/31\/paul-ryan-joins-hillary-attacks-trump\/\">statement<\/a>that seems designed to undermine his Party\u2019s nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Nehlen has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/02\/nehlen-ryans-betrayal-gop-nominee-beneath-dignity-office-morally-disqualifying\/\">said<\/a> that \u201cRyan\u2019s repeated betrayals of the GOP nominee is beneath the dignity of the Speakers\u2019 office and is morally disqualifying.\u201d Nehlen has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2016\/07\/29\/paul_nehlen_paul_ryan_will_thwart_president_trump_at_every_opportunity.html\" target=\"_blank\">warned<\/a> that if re-elected, Speaker Ryan will continue to do everything in his power to sabotage and \u201cthwart President Trump at every opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nehlen pointed specifically to Ryan efforts to push amnesty, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), and the Obama-Ryan \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2016\/07\/29\/paul_nehlen_paul_ryan_will_thwart_president_trump_at_every_opportunity.html\" target=\"_blank\">jail break crime agenda<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, just this week Ryan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/01\/paul-ryan-standing-ovation-koch-donors-retreat\/\">attacked<\/a> Trump\u2019s trade policies in front of a select group of 400 wealthy donors at a lavish Koch brothers retreat. Ryan said he wants\u00a0to\u00a0\u201crepudiate\u201d the views of Republican voters, who do not support Ryan and his donors\u2019 trade agenda.\u00a0Ryan seemed to suggest\u00a0his\u00a0efforts to do so\u00a0will represent\u00a0the \u201cfight for the soul of our party and for our country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly explained that Ryan\u2019s frequent statements, which serve to undercut Trump\u2019s chances electoral success \u201cshows he\u2019s not for American citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we should accept him as Speaker,\u201d Schlafly said. \u201cWe need a new leader in Congress who will represent the issues that Donald Trump ran on because they were the winning issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Schlafly took objection to Ryan\u2019s longstanding support for open borders trade and immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0<em>Breitbart News<\/em>\u00a0has previously <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/05\/05\/paul-ryan-architect-open-borders-says-wont-back-trump-hillary\/\">reported<\/a>, Ryan\u2019s views on foreign migration, foreign trade, and foreign wars more closely align with the views of Hillary Clinton than they do with views of Donald Trump and the Republican electorate. Indeed, Sen. Tim Kaine has<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/07\/27\/tim-kaine-under-speaker-ryan-u-s-will-enact-amnesty-in-2017\/\">predicted<\/a> that Speaker Ryan will be the key to passing\u00a0a President Hillary Clinton\u2019s agenda\u2013 including enacting the largest amnesty in U.S. history\u00a0within her first 100 days in office.<\/p>\n<p>While Pew data shows that 92% of the GOP electorate\u2014and 83% of the American electorate overall\u2014 wants to see immigration levels frozen or reduced, Ryan has pushed to expand immigration into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Ryan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/17\/paul-ryans-open-borders-push-luis-gutierrez-exposed-2013-video\/\">worked<\/a> with Luis Gutierrez to advance President Obama\u2019s immigration expansion agenda, and in 2015 Ryan championed an omnibus spending bill that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/12\/16\/paul-ryan-betrays-america-1-1-trillion-2000-plus-page-omnibus-bill-funds-fundamental-transformation-america\/\">fully funded<\/a> Obama\u2019s open borders agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Ryan has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/11\/exclusive-numbersusa-president-paul-ryan-terrifying-open-borders-seeps-every-pore\/\">two decade long history<\/a> of pushing open borders immigration policies\u2014dating back to his days as a Capitol Hill staffer when he worked to derail the bipartisan immigration curbs inspired by Civil Rights leader and late-Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan was also a part of the crusade in the mid-90s against California\u2019s Prop 187, which would have cut off state benefits to illegal immigrants. Ryan was apparently adamant that illegals living in California ought have access to benefits paid for by\u00a0U.S. taxpayers.\u00a0 Speaker Ryan has previously <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/06\/30\/anti-ryan-billboards-create-stir-wisconsin\/\">explained<\/a> that he believes the U.S.\u00a0should import\u00a0foreign\u00a0labor\u00a0to help corporations keep wages low.<\/p>\n<p>NumbersUSA President Roy Beck has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/11\/exclusive-numbersusa-president-paul-ryan-terrifying-open-borders-seeps-every-pore\/\">said<\/a> that there \u201care an additional 10 million immigrants in the country\u201d than there otherwise would be today as a direct result of Ryan\u2019s work in the mid-90s.\u00a0\u201cOpen borders seeps out of every pore of his being,\u201d Beck has said. \u201cOpen borders is in his ideological DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly explained that the United States cannot be led by a Republican House Speaker who actively pushes policies that would undermine U.S. sovereignty:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Get rid of him! We don\u2019t want anybody who believes in open borders. A country isn\u2019t sovereign if we can\u2019t control who comes in and whose allowed to come in. And if we\u2019re a sovereign country, we need to have absolute control of who comes in\u2026 [For instance] the 1920s, we thought we ought to take [an immigration] pause.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Schlafly said\u00a0that the U.S. ought to now similarly enact an immigration pause until the nation is able to\u00a0get immigration under control. \u201cWe need a pause until we stop this inflow of illegal aliens coming in,\u201d Schlafly explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf [Paul Ryan] can\u2019t get in line with majority of the electorate on the biggest issue [i.e. immigration], he should resign and we should get someone who fulfills the wishes and the hopes of the majority who just nominated Trump,\u201d Schlafly said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t sound like he [Ryan] is loyal to the Republican Party. We need someone who is going to be a spokesman for the Republican Party and its nominee. And if Ryan doesn\u2019t fill that bill, we should get another one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, Ryan has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/07\/12\/ryan-defends-decision-border-wall-not-country-three-kids\/\">come under fire<\/a> for his decision to protect his home and his family with a personal border fence, while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/07\/12\/ryan-defends-decision-border-wall-not-country-three-kids\/\">indicating<\/a> that he has no\u00a0intention of bringing up legislation to fund similar protections for the American people. Ryan has previously<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/19\/second-video-revealed-paul-ryan-with-luis-gutierrez-america-is-more-than-our-borders\/\">explained<\/a> that he believes America \u201cis more than our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly said that politicians like Paul Ryan\u2014and billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg\u2014who advocate for open borders so long as the policy does not extend to their fenced estates are \u201ca big bunch of hypocrites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re a big bunch of hypocrites,\u201d Schlafly said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think we ought to have all those people elected to office because they\u2019re not really for America. And I think one of the reasons Trump was nominated was because he wants to put America first, and defend the interests of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly noted that while Trump champions an \u201cAmerica first\u201d agenda supported by the\u00a0American people, Paul Ryan supports the \u201cAmerica Last\u201d agenda of the donor class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously Paul Ryan is not an \u2018America first\u2019 guy,\u201d Schlafly said.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Schlafly rebuked Ryan\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2015\/10\/20\/paul-ryan-job-u-s-lawmaker-put-shoes-foreign-citizens\/\">controversial assertion<\/a> that it is the job of a U.S. lawmaker to \u201cput yourself in\u2026 [the] shoes\u201d of foreign citizens such as \u201cthe gentleman from India who\u2019s waiting for his green card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat isn\u2019t his job at all,\u201d Schlafly said. \u201cHis job is to do what\u2019s best for the United States of America and the people of the United States of America. This is our country and we have no obligation to people in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he\u2019s for the interests of the global party, which is the financial party, then he\u2019s not for \u2018America first\u2019 and the American people voted for \u2018America first,\u2019\u201d Schlafly explained.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There are a lot of wealthy people who would like globalism, who would like us to be in some kind of global community, and who want getting along with foreign countries to be their major goal. And I don\u2019t think so. I think what the American people want and need should be our greatest goal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Schlafly expressed particular concern about Ryan\u2019s push for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, which Schlafly\u00a0said would put the U.S. on a similar trajectory\u00a0of the European Union. As Jeff Sessions has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/video\/2015\/06\/22\/sessions-tpp-nascent-european-union-tpa-surrender-of-congressional-power\/\">explained<\/a>, the TPP calls for the establishment of a global governing commission, a Pacific Union, which Sessions says would\u00a0resemble a \u201cnascent European Union.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ought to be on guard against that,\u201d Schlafly said, \u201cbecause obviously the European Union was a failure. I remember when they went in, they all thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and it isn\u2019t\u2026I spent a year of my life fighting [George W. Bush\u2019s] plan\u2026 to put us in, what was called, a \u2018North American Union,\u2019 which was to erase the borders between Canada, U.S. and Mexico. And we don\u2019t want to erase our borders. We like them the way they are. And it\u2019s a matter of sovereignty. It\u2019s a matter of national identity and I\u2019m for America first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schlafly indicated that if the GOP\u00a0were to follow Paul Ryan down the path of supporting the donor-class\u2019 corporate agenda it would have meant the death of the Republican Party. Indeed, it was Paul Ryan\u2019s failed 2012 campaign with Mitt Romney, that led Republican leaders and consultants to issue the GOP \u201cautopsy report,\u201d which took as one of its conclusions that the way Republicans ought to win elections is by embracing an immigration agenda that would import future voters who tend to overwhelmingly support Democrat\u00a0policies.<\/p>\n<p>However, Schlafly now says that she is hopeful about the future of\u00a0the GOP because Trump will lead the Republican Party in a different direction than Paul Ryan\u2013 one that\u00a0is in line with the wishes\u00a0of \u201creal Republicans\u201d rather than the desires of Republican donors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got the traditional values of real Republicans,\u201d Schlafly said. \u201cI don\u2019t think the GOP is going to die, I think Trump is going to revive it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/03\/schlafly-thunders-for-ryan-ouster\/\">http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2016-presidential-race\/2016\/08\/03\/schlafly-thunders-for-ryan-ouster\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Legend Speaks \u2014 Schlafly Thunders for Ryan Ouster: \u2018Get Rid of Him!\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45072\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
