John McCain Leads Liberal Republican Attacks On Scott Walker’s Immigration Stance
Breitbart.com Big Government ^ | 4/21/15 | Matthew Boyle

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has clearly awakened the Washington establishment beast.

Not only is the liberal media and establishment right-of-center coming out guns-a-blazing at Walker over his pro-American worker position on legal immigration, but now Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)—the most pro-amnesty Republican there is, someone who worked for years with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) on immigration—is leading a charge against Walker’s new position.

“I think most statistics show that they fill part of the workforce that are much needed. We have, and I’m a living example of, the aging population. We need these people in the workforce legally,” McCain said when asked about Walker’s position by mainstream media reporters, according to the openly liberal Talking Points Memo’s Sahil Kapur.

“I do,” McCain added when asked if he worries Walker’s position makes the GOP look “anti-immigrant.”

“I do,” McCain said:

McCain is likely to face a primary challenge from either Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) or state Sen. Kelli Ward due to the fact he’s abandoned conservative principles on so many major issues—immigration chief among them.

Others, like Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) joined McCain to also attack Walker for standing up for American workers.

McCain please go away.

We don’t want you involved in politics. You did one thing right in your career. Now if you want to do something good, go talk Palin into running for president.

Otherwise, just go away.

McCain, Walker, Hatch, Grassley are perfect examples of why we need term limits. Before they all became senile old men, they were still mentally defective eunuchs oscillating mainstream media’s derrier.

McCain gave the World the Benghazi Atrocity,
the IRS attacks on conservatives,
and ISIS' endless rapes, enslavements, and beheadings.

Does anyone realize what McCain is doing here?

He criticizes Walker here as an act of support.

Walker claims his plan has changed, but it’s the same exact plan he had in 2013 and 2006/07 when he in fact backed the McCain/Kennedy immigration plan.

Walker still supports illegal immigrants paying a fine and staying inside the United States.

Walker claims he has changed his plan. Let’s it slip he hasn’t. Then McCain comes along and criticizes it as if Walker had changed.

Pretty slick. I’m sure a lot of well-meaning folks will gobble it up.

I have always object to those highway roadside substance abuse checkpoints.

While I still feel that way, I do know of a place that might benefit significantly from such a testing station.

The Senate of the United States, preferably right there at John McCain’s desk.

Maybe they should set it up so that McCain couldn’t vote unless he could blow less than 2%.

...."Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) joined McCain to also attack Walker for standing up for American workers".... That's because they all know it's no longer about the American Worker...rather an 'open border workforce' that is in play, which will include Canada and all those south of the border. Companies need 'cheap labor' to return to the US and or invest corporate entities here. That's why Perry in Texas wants a "controlled" a "defended" border in order to allow the workers across for the many companies he has on his border that he promises cheap labor to.

Here's just one Industrial Park....Companies such as TRW, Alpine Electronics, Black and Decker, Maytag, Johnson Controls, Corning Cable and Delphi have established multiple plants in the McAllen and Reynosa area. In all, 14 nations are represented in the local manufacturing community.

TEMPORARY 2 year work-visa’s for foreign workers are working just fine in Singapore.

I spent a week last year in Singapore to find out why it is so prosperous in a few short decades after gaining independence from British colonial rule.

The prosperity is nothing short of amazing. Every 6th citizen of Singapore is a millionaire. Every major corporation does business in Singapore or has a branch office there. Their hospitals, underground highways, International airport, Ocean cruise terminal make ours in US look like third world.

Why so much prosperity in such a short time? First, they eliminated all welfare to able bodied citizens in working age range. There is no unemployment checks, no food stamps. If you do not work, you do not eat. The result is Singapore has 40% more jobs than there are citizens to fill them.

Their immigration policy is 2 year work-visa’s. There are 2 million foreigners workers in a country of 3.5 million citizens. They do jobs citizens do not want. When work visa expires they must return home and re-apply. Businesses can not hire any non-citizens without work-visa. The foreign workers are from all over Asia. Trouble makers are promptly deported. But few create trouble because those jobs pay well, and living conditions in Singapore are better than their home country.

I demand to know. Was Scott Walker lying when he said he was for Amnesty or is he lying now. It’s really pretty simple. We don’t need any more Lies!!

Walker is under 50 years of age. You think he is a senile old man. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

If ever Jump The Shark had any meaning, McCain fits the bill.

Interesting, DO. I was wondering if it was a psyop as well. While I love Walker’s statement, I take it with a grain of salt. I’m not happy with those running for office who have these sudden epiphanies.
