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.

yup...
Here you go skippy, chew on this and realize you’re not telling the truth, then go campaign for your (and my preferred) candidate: http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/story/opinion/2015/02/17/scott-walker-immigration-path-citizenship-wausau-interview-amnesty-border/23558209/
Heck, neither of these guys have committed to running, and you are acting like some paid campaign manager trying to take out someone you perceive as a threat.
Stop the circular firing squad, and please do it now. It will only get us someone like Jeb.
That’s a pretty accurate assessment. Even Cruz gets mealy mouthed on the issue.
Comparing Jeb to Walker is quite frankly insane.
True, the hit pieces are coming out on Walker, so he's making someone over there nervous. That being said, if he's squishy on amnesty, I can't vote for him. It remains to be seen.
From what I hear he's done good with the WI state deficit, and he's not afraid of the unions. Bottom line: IMHO it's still too early to tell.
Revision: Comparing them as if they have any similarity at all on almost any question is quite frankly insane.
Somehow , I think the Nation and Immigration has changed over the last 8 years, and probably so has Walker's opinion on immigration.
If it hadn't changed over the last 8 years, I for one , wouldn't consider voting for him.
Jeb is a 'lukewarm Repubbie' , (A/K/A/ -> RINO /GOPe ).
He strattles the fence so much it has left marks and scars.
Ask Florida , they know him , and that's why that swing -state said "NO Thanks, no more"
BAIER: So that's wrong?
WALKER: That's wrong. It's not what I said. I have said I believe we need a legal immigration system. I have said repeatedly I oppose amnesty. I think we're a nation of immigrants, but we're also a nation of laws. We should have a legal way for people to come into this country either for work or for citizenship, just like we have for generations. Part of that deal is we need to make sure we have a border that's secure, not just for immigration reasons, but as I mentioned, for national security.
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.
[AND THEN THERE IS THE SAD TRUTH THAT MOST PEOPLE WON’T TAKE THE TIME TO GO TO A LINK AND JUST READ IT. FOR SOME REASON THEY THINK SOMEONE ELSE’S INTERPRETATION IS JUST AS GOOD - BUT THEY WOULD BE MISTAKEN]
When Romney said words to that effect I had some hope. He soon heard from the elites and quickly changed his tune. I knew then that the fix was in and it was 4 more years of the magic muslim.
If just one candidate would simply to say what you said, they'd have my vote. I'm tired of seeing the country turning into just another banana republic.
Given our propensity to keep handing the reins to the Left, I’m not surprised at all the attacks against Walker - reaching back 9 years and misquoting/or using others’ words/rumors is a sure sign that some of us here really have no interest in doing anything unless the whole shebang gets handed to us on a silver platter - then they will still whine and moan because reality bites and they can’t handle reality.
I find Walker a wonderful alternate candidate (as long as he doesn't prove himself to be an amnesty shill like Rubio) , the suggestion that he's the preferred candidate of the GOPE or that he is no different that Jeb is simply insane.
The circular firing squad needs to cool it, these are our two best candidates, I hope they end up on the same ticket.
It's clear he's been all over the road on the issue.
"Walkers stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected."
When something that is common sense is avoided be the candidates you know the fix is in.
How about National Review?
Or maybe Walker on video In His Own Words?
The Mofo site is pretty dumb bass but the video, mid-page, allows Gov. Walker to tell his own tale.
It seems many are so desperate for a “winner” they will ignore the clear signs that Walker is on the wrong side of this issue.
People will convince themselves of all kinds of things despite clear evidence to the contrary.
The Cheap Labor Express will have a GOP amnesty candidate, it is what they paid for.
The big question is how many people who normally vote GOP will have the courage to reject that candidate and vote their own interests.
The browbeating is still continuing from 2008 and 2012 and has started for 2016.
“if you don’t vote Bush/Walker/Rubio/whoever then you support Hillary”, it’s just a ridiculous argument and does not work, ask McCain and Romney.
