“Walker’s remarks, which were confirmed by three people present and haven’t been reported previously, vary from the call he has made in recent weeks for ‘no amnesty’—a phrase widely employed by people who believe immigrants who broke the law by entering the country without permission shouldn’t be awarded legal status or citizenship,” the Journal wrote.
Gov. Walker’s spokesperson Kirsten Kukowski says that report is wrong:........."
Meanwhile Cruz is steady on Cruz Control.
Scott walker has defeated democrats many times to pass conservative laws. Scott walker as governor defeated the democrats and the media to cut taxes, balance the budget , right to work laws etc. His record as governor is unmatched in history. Not even Reagan defeated democrats this many times
Walker/Cruz
or
Walker/Palin
or any combo of these
Whatever.
A pathway for illegals to gain citizenship IS amnesty.
You make sure that they cannot cross the border anymore in waves or single or in couples or way else other than legally, you begin a policy of deportations on a case by case basis of those that are here and have been allowed to come here by crooked politicians in both parties, and you inform the ones that are here that they have no right to work here, are not qualified for benefits, and cannot vote legally, and will eventually be deported, and they will go home.
The pathway to citizenship is to apply for it legally from inside your own country, and that’s it.
WASHINGTON – A dispute over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's position on immigration erupted on Thursday, highlighting the Republican's struggle to appeal to conservatives on the explosive issue as he prepares to launch a Republican presidential bid.
The two-term governor has consistently opposed what he calls "amnesty" for immigrants in the country illegally, but his definition of amnesty has evolved. In a recent closed-door meeting with top New Hampshire Republicans, Walker said such immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country legally. That's according to New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn, who organized the meeting and challenged a Thursday report in The Wall Street Journal that Walker said he supported giving such immigrants a pathway to citizenship.
"I specifically asked a follow-up question on the immigration reform issue, where he very clearly identified he was advocating a path for legal status but not citizenship," Horn said in an interview with The Associated Press." Concord Monitor: Gov. Scott Walker's immigration stance at center of dispute
Every illegal out. To the back of the bus. Spend more money to expedite the immigration of those who are following the legal process. And please go back to a system based on merit rather than familial relationships.
Also a complete end to H-1B and a major FBI/Treasury/IRS investigation/audit of Infosys.
Walker is roaming off to the left.
Big mistake.
Illegal aliens are illegal aliens. Deport them.Secure the border.
Deporting a million or so will work just as in Eisenhower’s time , and the rest will self deport.
Walker is wrong.

I hope this is true. I like Walker and will support him, but Cruz has really set the bar high with his explosive entry.
Do you have anything else to say?
Walker needs to find out who the “3 people” are.
I was at the German Foreign Office yesterday to get stamped up for another few years. She saw I am married with a child and tried to push permanent resident on me. I want to retire to South Carolina, when my daughter wins a scholarship there. Discovered an excellent Chinese restaurant one block from there that serves piping hot food. Even the diet coke was delicious - LoL! Very cute Chinese girl too.
I’m not buying into Walker being pro-amnesty.
Another thing that would help would be honest, informed policies. Then they wouldn't say stupid stuff like this.
I'm not sure I trust a candidate who speaks to groups of supporters in private. Denials from Walker aren't enough. He should release a video of the speech.
Several red flags here...NY Times, Concord Monitor, soviet Red Hampshire...not to be trusted under any circumstance.
This is what happens when you have secret, closed-door meetings.
Many are acting as if Walker needs to call for mass deportations to "redeem himself", but they fail to recognize that nobody who is in politics has articulated such a desire - they just assume that their own choice wants it.
> “ ... after ***The Wall Street Journal*** and ***The Washington Post*** reported that Mr. Walker had endorsed eventual citizenship for those immigrants, which many Republicans oppose.”
Liberal Press is out to sow discontent. And just this morning also, another of the same intent out to soften support for Ted Cruz.

Another ‘report’ that is chock full of lies.
Me thinks the Chamber of Commerce is paying for ‘reports’ that support their narrative.
And FR Trolls are out as well saying all these reports on Cruz and Walker are ‘dealbreakers’ for them.
Beware liars and trolls. Look first at the sources. Let trusted Conservative media such as Rush or Mark Levin do the vetting on these media ‘reports’. They will interview Cruz and Walker directly.

Walker is trying to put one over on us.
“Legal status” is a path to citizenship; there would be no way to prevent it, short of a constitutional amendment.
Anyone allowed in the country permanently would be entitled to seek citizenship through the normal process.
