Can you recognize the cognitive distance between those two statements?

I can. What I'm saying is that Scott Walker's most recent statements don't leave much "wiggle room" (pathway to citizenship, tech needs workers etc, blah, blah, blah) and it might be enough of a rallying issue to get minorities and other lower income workers on board. This issue is the one they should be embracing. It's about restoring the American dream for US citizens.

It would be nice if Scott Walker had a DC voting record to back up this new rhetoric, of course. But at least he's articulating the issue.

It’s great that he has come around to where I have been on this issue for years. My concern is would he follow through if elected.
We’ve been lied to before. Remember that GWB was saying “no amnesty” when he ran. Then he said “see you at the signing” when McCain/Kennedy was in Congress, that McCain said wasn’t amnesty.

The dissonance comes from first recognizing his articulation, then projecting that to mean he won’t revert to prior stances after election.

While I am encouraged by his articulation of the issue, I am concerned about the 11th hour conversion. (And I am not a “concern troll” - just being a student of politician history LOL)
