Scott Walker was definitive when asked about his position on illegal immigration earlier this month: We need to secure the border. I think we need to enforce the legal system. Im not for amnesty, he told ABC News. Im not an advocate of the plans that have been pushed here in Washington. But the likely presidential candidate apparently stood on another side of that debate as the Milwaukee County Executive in 2006. That year, he signed a resolution calling on Congress to pass the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, a bill authored by John McCain and Teddy Kennedy that was denounced at the time by conservatives as amnesty and remains anathema to party activists.

From the article... “At the same time, former Florida governor Jeb Bush has his own history of grappling with immigration policy, unlike his relative newcomer rival in the frontrunner circle.”
So the entire point is to pimp Jeb. No sale.
Politico? You need to get up to speed on who you are reading.
Until then, the people here that KNOW he is an amnesty shill can shove it where the sun don't shine, becuase none of them know anything.
Full disclosure: I prefer Cruz, but am not going to be a lying shill (like some here are) to help get him the nomination.
Sad point is that every one of the candidates or anticipated candidates for the presidency have at one time or another supported some form of amnesty. Despite any protestations otherwise, they will agree to amnesty before they ever opt to deport illegals.
Reagan started this mess and I doubt any of these candidates will stop it. Can we really get any commitment from them that might stand? Enforce the current laws? Secure the border? Deny jobs to illegals? Stop in-state tuition, health care, tax refunds, drivers licenses? Real action, not words on any front would be improvement over the talk and no action we’ve seen.
Leave it to Politico , who is not our friend !
The fact that they had to go back 8 years to look for dirt is like Walker being thrown out of French class for being too loud.
It is all contrived " HorseFeathers" to create division.
Politico is NOT our Friend !
Ain’t nobody good enough to run for anything. That’s my position and I’m sticking with it. The only person who’s platform I totally agree with is me. Well my positions this week that is.
Heres a link for you.
READ the whole thing.
Its an interesting piece. As hard as this less than friendly news outlet tries to slam Walker (even at the end where theyre telling you how to interpret Walkers words - make them up - to fit into their scenario) it just isnt there. But there is the headline - which is what people absorb.
I am reminded of Jim Talent’s alledged bioethical sin that caused the evengelicals to stay home when he ran for reelection to the senate.
They gave us the screeching harpy Claire McCackle, just back (I hear) from Cuba.
If he won't do that, the statement stands. And anyone who supports anything but stopping and reversing the invasion of the US will never get enough conservatives to vote for victory to be possible.
Start giving us what Cruz has done about this, and his strategy to deal with it and maybe I'll start listening to your spamming. You make yourself look ridiculous coming on to every Walker thread and throwing out your spam. Tend to your own candidate, and stop being part of the circular firing squad.
And yes, it DOES matter that the source is polutico!
I got that from watching what he does, not what he says.
You might try it sometime.
Cute! A truncated video clip posted at the progressive Appleton Post-Crescent.
We know what you’re doing!
; )
You’re behaving like an opposition researcher.
If the shoe fits; wear it.
EXACTLY TRUE !!
Politico is 'digging for dirt' to divide.
