The 6 month article that you are posting has been refuted.

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/scott-walker-clarifies-his-stance-in-illegal-immigration-debate-lm8vluj-194096481.html

His views are no different than Cruz’ legislation that would offer permanent residency.

If SoConPubbie wishes to be dishonest, then so be it.

The Journal Sentinel states:

” Walker never mentioned citizenship in his comments.”

Since that original “Amnesty”

Immigration reform has become the equivalent of Amnesty.

Every freekin time.

[Logical me]

The illegals are here to stay and there should be no doubt about that. So what do we do with them? And lets quit this simple minded crap about sending them back, it cannot be done! So grow up and lets come up with practical real solutions. The border should have been closed but over the years those we trusted both Democrats and Republicans screwed us.

I got no issue with immigration.
We are a nation of immigrants.

I just hate this grey/gray mumbo jumbo

Immigration reform does not equate to Amnesty for one group.

[Popman]

We have no disagreement...

How feasible do you think those points are?...they look great on paper, but politically speaking, pretty tough to implement even with a majority in the both houses of Congress...

Big business wants illegals to keep wages down...they own many congress critters on the right

Don't by into the left-wing media and corporate controlled GOP-E spin. It's not true.

LOL...Seriously, you think I do?

Incomplete facts perhaps, but should Reagan not have known that the law enforcement provisions would be ignored? There was no dearth of evidence back then that the Democrat party of Henry Jackson and Hubert Humphrey had been vanquished by the Democrat party of Ted Kennedy and Tip O’Neil. I have the same reverence for Reagan that most conservatives do, but I do wish that he had the same wariness of the homegrown left that he did of the international left. There are also times that I wonder If he really understood the level of duplicity and cravenness that existed in his own party.

Yo Scotty! They aren’t after “citizenship.” They’re after U.S. dollars and government handouts. Comprende?

[SoConPubbie]

If you want to buy into false stories, that’s up to you.

The story is a joke and SoCon has to go back to July but enjoy your name calling. Walker has enough integrity, I don’t think he needs any voters that engage in 3rd grade name calling.

BeadCounter is either ignorant of Governor Walker's actual positions on this issue or he is lying. Following is a YouTube video of Governor Walker, speaking to an editorial board, of not only saying he favors a path to Citizenship, but that if we made it easier for people to come here, there would be no need for more Border Security.

I will be posting this shortly to remove all doubt and pinging BeadCounter to that post as well, so that he can inform himself on this subject, if he so desires.

You can not seal the border via the Fed

1% of land in Texas is federal land.
That means 99%of Texas is PRIVATE land.

Now here come some asshats in Virginia telling us what to do.

That aint gonna wash.

Texas would be happy to patrol its own fence line and we do.
But her comes some jackass in DC that say we can’t deport the “Guest worker”

It Is Maddening! let the states have rights!
Give CITIZENS rights over Illegals.

Probably, but his statement to his son was that he actually expected them to obey/enforce the law. They didn't.

They're only not feasible if we refuse to fight to make them happen. They're only not feasible if we just sit on our hands and give up.

Let's put this in proper context, given the patriots of 1776 were fighting the most powerful army and navy the world knew at that time, and that the Patriot army/navy were miniscule in comparison, maybe they should not have fought that war, because it wasn't feasible, right?

So grow up and lets come up with practical real solutions. The border should have been closed but over the years those we trusted both Democrats and Republicans screwed us.

Sorry, but your premise is only true, if we capitulate, and refuse to fight this issue.

I am so glad that the Patriots of 1776 did not give up when they were facing the odds they were facing.

Do these guys realize how dishonest this 'immigration reform' talk makes them look to the average American?

Do they not know that WE know the only reason the immigration system isn't working is because of THEIR failure to enforce it, and we do not believe they will enforce any reformed system?

Bump to your post!

I’d also like to add:

75% tax on all monies shipped to Mexico.

The 6 month article that you are posting has been refuted.

That article is lying to you, since Governor Scott Walker said exactly those things, including, if it were easier to get into the country, we wouldn't need to have increased border security.

Here is Scott Walker, in his own words, in a YouTube, saying exactly what this articles states, that he is in favor of Citizenship for those in this country illegally, and amazingly, he thinks if it were easier for them to get into this country legally, there would be no need for tougher border security laws:

[Wuli]

its a signal

he’s going to enter the 2016 GOP POTUS primaries

[Dysart]

let the states have rights!

Lest we forget: The states do have ample, substantial [Constitutionally guaranteed, so it is written] rights. But they have been filched away by totalitarians while derelict protectors of those rights slept.

Self Deport only works if you have zero legalization and stop as many freebies as possible.

Even if the border and ports were 90% secure and suddnely you legalize millions, the border is going to be less than 90% secure when there is largest wave of illegals ever after tghe largest amnesty.

Illegals arent immigrating because of some multicultural utopia they believe in. They are immigrating because the standard of living is higher.

Mexico and the US have a income differential larger than any other international border. One day it might be Mexico and Guatemala.

Maybe North Korea and South Korea have a bigger difference.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Walker believes that any poor worker should be allowed to immigrate. It is nothing to Walker and others that you double or triple legal low skilled immigration.

What does Walker mean by a saner system. Repealing Chain immigration and future anchor babies?

[donmeaker]

The illegals have a path to citizenship. They can return to their home county.
