You are a liar. He stated that he was for deportation just the other day. Go screw yourself you Obama lover.
I am not a liar.
He’s been going on about legalization and eventual citizenship over the past couple of years, and has said he wants to make the border secure by making it so easy for immigrants to come here legally that they won’t bother to cross illegally.
I’ve posted links here, and all he did this Sunday was tap dance some non-denials about what has been his clearly stated position.
My problem with Walker is immigration and border security. That issue affects everything from our economy to our safety. We don’t need anymore immigrants.
“It’s all is about the 11 million [undocumented immigrants],” Walker said. “You hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that. To me, I don’t know that you need any of that if you had a better, saner way to let people into the country in the first place.”
Walker added: “If people want to come here and work hard in this country, I don’t care if you come from Mexico or Canada or Ireland or Germany or South Africa or anywhere else. I want them
Scott Walker distanced himself from House Republicans debating a new immigration bill by endorsing a path to citizenship for immigrant workers.Walker acknowledged that a substantial number of Wisconsin farms depend on migrant workers, some of them here illegally. He also was sharply critical of how difficult the federal government makes it for those workers to come to this country.
“If people want to come here and work hard and benefit, I don’t care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or Canada or South Africa or anywhere else,” he said. “I want them here.”
The Democratic-led U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill last week that features a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. Many conservative House Republicans oppose the bill, viewing it as rewarding law-breakers.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants.

Make it easier to enter the country legally
Walker said he is in favor of the Senate immigration bill—that features a path to citizenship—but called it a backward “Band-Aid” approach, saying elected leaders should make it easier for people to enter the country and become legal citizens in the first place.
“Not only do they need to fix things for people already here, or find some way to do it, there’s got to be a larger way to fix the system in the first place,” he said. “Because if it wasn’t so cumbersome, if there wasn’t such a long wait, if it wasn’t so difficult to get in, we wouldn’t have the other problems that we have (with people living here illegally),” he said. Walker’s stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.

2010: stop suspected illegals; 2012: that’s a distraction
Walker’s stance on immigration reform evolved over the years. He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected. Then, in December 2012, Walker said he no longer favored such a bill, telling reporters that such legislation would become a “huge distraction” from accomplishing his agenda for the state. Today, Walker said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants under some circumstances.

Who did Walker say he was going to deport? Those with a criminal record? Those that commit crimes? Those who have overstayed their VISAs or work permits? Those that came here to attend school and never left? Anyone who broke our laws and came here illegally? Those who were born here but their parents came here illegally?
Walker also said he wasn’t for amnesty. How does he define amnesty? Is he going to make illegals go back home and come back again legally? Is he going to make them pay a fine or tax? Does he believe in a pathway to citizenship?
When a candidate states they are not for amnesty it means nothing unless they tell you what their definition of amnesty means. If they say they are for border security it means nothing unless they tell you what “secure borders” means to them. When they tell you they are for deportation, it means nothing unless they tell you who they plan to deport.
Walker is a good man and he has been a great gov. However he didn’t get where he is without also being a good politician. He knows what not to say and how to say it. They all do.
