With Paul Ryan taking over as Speaker of the House, he has vowed that things would ultimately change. While President Obama is in office, there will be no legislation brought to the floor regarding immigration. Ryan promised the House Freedom Caucus of this decision and placed the blame on Obama. "This president tied to write the law himself," Ryan told the CNN program "State of the Union", accusing Obama of exceeding his constitutional powers. "Presidents don't write laws. Congress writes laws."Therefore, leading Ryan to believe that Obama can not be trusted placing an unwillingness to work with Obama and his administration regarding immigration reform. What does this mean? This means that until at least the beginning of 2017 when Obama's term ends there will be no relief to the continuous growing issue of immigration. Although Ryan put his foot down on comprehensive reform, he did says other issues regarding consensus on immigration policy may be addressed. Ryan wishes to start fresh and focus on issues that can unify the Republican party. "I was elected Speaker of the House to unify the Republican Congress, not to dis-unify the Republican Congress. That means my job is to lead us to consensus and to, on big controversial issues, operate on that consensus."
