DOWN TO BUSINESS: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch announce their re-election campaigns Tuesday.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Woohoo! The polling places will be swamped again this fall!
Walker is massively pro-amnesty.
I think Scott Walker may indeed be a dark horse for the Republican presidential nomination.
There will be a huge line-up of contenders, but Walker could come from behind to surprise us.
And you know this, how?
The Marxists NEVER will give up. Be prepared for this sort of attack and battle for as long as the Republic stands.
Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the party remained confident its nominee could win Young’s former seat in November. It was not immediately clear who that candidate would be.
“Walker is massively pro-amnesty.”
What a lie that is.
That was something WaPo churned out to damage Walker.
Walker:
“I’ve not said there should be amnesty in this country. I don’t believe that. I don’t support the legislation being
kicked around. What I’ve said repeatedly is we need to fix the immigration system, but fix the legal system. So
if people want to come in this country we should have a legal immigration system.”
Bannon then interjected: “And take care of the borders and everything we have to do first.”
Walker concurred, saying that any immigration reform efforts should “fix the front door.”
“If you’re somebody, whether you’re from Mexico or Germany or Ireland, and you want to come to this country
legally, we should find a way to make it happen,” Walker said.
Walker’s comments come months after, in July, the Post’s Blake ran a blaring headline saying Walker “backs path to citizenship.”
Walker did not back a pathway to citizenship, as he clearly laid out in his interview with Bannon. At the time, he
was presented with a purely hypothetical situation. In laying out his stance back then, something that mainstream
media reporters missed, Walker noted that the federal government tends to take a “band-aid approach” to reform
of issues, rather than his gubernatorial-style handling of real reform aimed at actually fixing the problem.
“It’s why I’m not a big fan of a lot of things in the federal government, regardless of party,” Walker said.
“Not that we’re perfect at the state [level], but you can get your hands around issues like that at the state.
Just the mere fact they’re having that debate without having a discussion about why is the system itself—
why aren’t we fixing that? It just seems to be kind of the vacuum that decisions are made in at the federal level.”
Guess 9Year doesn’t know how Walker is massively pro-amnesty.
I don’t believe it myself, but I will look into it.
No he's not and you only have some little article from the Hill that says so. Produce some mainstream news source for your assertion or let everyone see it as false. He is no more pro-amnesty than Ted Cruz or others
Everyone this is a falsehood that can not be proven.
That’s news to me. Can you give me an example or two?
They never give up and their financial backers, regressives like George Soros and Nanny Bloomberg make sure there is plenty of money to keep the angry leftists employed and fighting REAL progress.
If the RATS plan to run against Walker on a platform of giving power back to public sector unions, they will be crushed at the polls.
Even in liberals states, the taxpaying voters are smart enough to hate public unions!
Thank you for that Februus. You refuted that point better than anyone I’ve seen.
Maybe Wendy Davis will endorse Burke..
You said:
Walker is massively pro-amnesty.

It just isn’t so, here are Walkers own words:
“See now that’s where they take it out of context,” Walker said in response. “I’ve not said there should be amnesty in this country. I don’t believe that. I don’t support the legislation being kicked around. What I’ve said repeatedly is we need to fix the immigration system, but fix the legal system. So if people want to come in this country we should have a legal immigration system.”
Bannon then interjected: “And take care of the borders and everything we have to do first.”
Walker concurred, saying that any immigration reform efforts should “fix the front door.”
“If you’re somebody, whether you’re from Mexico or Germany or Ireland, and you want to come to this country legally, we should find a way to make it happen,” Walker said.

I think that is likely what most people in this country would say.
Thanks for the info.
This is even worse, essentially an open borders policy:
““If you’re somebody, whether you’re from Mexico or Germany or Ireland, and you want to come to this country
legally, we should find a way to make it happen,” Walker said.”
But here’s the start of article from The Hill that quotes Walker as, despite his claims (and all pols claim to be against ‘amnesty’), massively pro-amnesty:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says he supports a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally as part of an overhaul of the nation’s immigration system.
“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,” Walker said Tuesday during an interview with the Daily Herald Media Editorial Board of Wisconsin. “I want them here.”
Walker was then asked about the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally. The editorial board asked if he could “envision a world where with the right penalties and waiting periods and meet the requirements where those people could get citizenship?”
“Sure,” Walker responded. “I mean I think it makes sense.”
The Hill is a credible source.
