Has President Obama ever submitted a balanced budget?
not his job
begins as the President's proposal to the U.S. Congress which recommends funding levels for the next fiscal year, Congress is the body required by law to pass appropriations annually and to submit funding bills passed by both houses to the President for signature.
Immigration reform will not be happening in the current climate. Obama has been using executive orders to "work around" immigration laws. Yes Paul Ryan supports immigration, but the GOP does not. Immigration reform will be happening when a republican takes the white house. And it won't be the "amnesty type"
Immigration reform won't happen no matter who is president, even people like Marco Rubio have left the room when it comes to reform. Trump is the only one with a plan to deport 11 Million illegal immigrants, that's pretty much it when it comes to reform.
We don't need any "reform". The immigration laws have been working for decades. Just allot more money to enforcing the laws on the books to keep the cheaters from sneaking into the country. I would support a law that elevates illegal entry or overstaying a visa a more serious offense.
Barack is a lame duck. He is to be ignored until a new president with legitimacy is elected.

It either does not happen or it's the "amnesty type" as the only Republicans who have any chance of being elected are all "amnesty type" guys. In fact, immigration reform is more likely with a Republican than a democrat as the House will just stonewall any democrat initiative while being obligated to support their president if a Republican.
If Ryan is bothered by Obama "going around congress," wouldn't the fix be for congress to pass whatever reform they wanted.
IMO, this is nothing but a poorly veiled excuse for Ryan appealing to the hard conservatives without facing his own views as listed here: Paul Ryan on Immigration
Ryan is just another pandering political wimp who scapegoats.
All that was being proposed was amnesty not reform. Most conservatives don't want that same mistake repeated again. There is nothing hard about that.
We have immigration laws. You don't get to change them just because you want to.
Actually, the Congress would have to authorize the money for the fence and other measures the bill called for.
