New US House Speaker Clueless About First Amendment

[From article]
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) evidently believes there is a constitutional right to emigrate to this country. In addition, he appears to believe that the First Amendment of religious freedom applies to everyone in the world and compels us to bring in anyone from every religion, irrespective of the problems endemic in some of its practitioners.
Take a look at this clip from Sean Hannity’s show last night and understand that we have no opposition party in Congress:
[. . .]
Ryan is essentially saying we have a First Amendment directive to A) bring in everyone to this country and B) not be selective based on religion.
Mr. Ryan, the entire founding of this country was predicated on fleeing a theocracy and settling a land where everyone can freely practice their religion as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Sharia law is the antithesis of that religious freedom because it foments a totalitarian mindset based on a theocracy. 
[. . .]
Let’s be clear, everyone admitted into our country has the right to peacefully adhere to their religion. That includes Muslims, and as social conservatives, we certainly appreciate that a lot more than the secular Left. However, there is no affirmative right to emigrate here. And the notion that we will continue to bring in mass numbers of people who subscribe to the very mentality we are seeing in Europe that represents the antithesis of religious liberty and the epitome of compulsion that seeks to trespass on the rights of others is an anathema to our Founding values.
That we have the leader of House Republicans who doesn’t understand the basic tenets of popular sovereignty, jurisdictional sovereignty, the social contract, the First Amendment, religious liberty, and the realities of Islamic supremacism, should scare us all.
