"My positions are very well known and unchanged on this issue. But I think given the fact that the president tried to do an end-run around Congress, to go it alone, to try and write laws himself unilaterally, which is not what presidents do. That's what Congress does. I think on this particular issue he's proved himself untrustworthy on this," Ryan said from the lobby of the Republican National Committee.
If Congress reached a consensus on border enforcement or interior enforcement, Ryan said maybe that could be advanced under Mr. Obama.
"But I do believe that if we try to move in a comprehensive way with a president who's proven that he wants to go it alone, I don't think that works," he said.
"Look, I think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue. He tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders," Ryan said. "So, that is not in the cards."
Ryan also announced Tuesday that the House would consider a six-year $325 billion highway funding bill under an open amendment process on the floor this week.
"We're opening up the process. We're allowing members to participate in a way that the founders intended," he said. "We're going to have an open process on the floor with lots of amendments considered by all members from both parties."
Congress recently passed a short-term patch for highway funding to buy more time to consider a longer-term bill.
Lawmakers have already offered about 270 amendments to the measure.
Speaker Ryan doubles down on immigration reform comments

Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday doubled-down on his decision to not deal with immigration reform while President Obama is still in the White House.
At his first press conference after being elected speaker last Thursday, Ryan was asked if immigration reform would be a priority for him under a future president.
"My positions are very well known and unchanged on this issue. But I think given the fact that the president tried to do an end-run around Congress, to go it alone, to try and write laws himself unilaterally, which is not what presidents do. That's what Congress does. I think on this particular issue he's proved himself untrustworthy on this," Ryan said from the lobby of the Republican National Committee.
If Congress reached a consensus on border enforcement or interior enforcement, Ryan said maybe that could be advanced under Mr. Obama.
"But I do believe that if we try to move in a comprehensive way with a president who's proven that he wants to go it alone, I don't think that works," he said.
Ryan initially ruled out working on immigration reform with the current president in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"Look, I think it would be a ridiculous notion to try and work on an issue like this with a president we simply cannot trust on this issue. He tried to go it alone, circumventing the legislative process with his executive orders," Ryan said. "So, that is not in the cards."
