Walker is apparently sorting out an issue on immigration. I will give him a break until we come up with a coherent fatwa from him. Consider this he is the only Republican candidate who actually accomplished a conservative reform without it just being another big business break. That is all the more reason to consider him.

Laura Ingraham, talk show host has this summation on Walker too.

http://www.lauraingraham.com/b/2016-Contender-Governor-Scott-Walker:-Obamas-Exec-Amnesty-Hurting-Middle-Class-Americans,-GOP-Must-Block-Funding/-586611805232419806.html

So I agree, Walker has not all of a sudden changed by how the wind blows. This does need to be ironed out.

For example, from the link:

“Walker on whether GOP should use power of the purse to block Obama’s executive amnesty: “Absolutely.” [10:15]

Walker: “I believe this president measures success in government, by how many people are dependent on the government. By how many people are on Medicaid, by how many people are on food stamps, by how many people are on unemployment. We should measure success in this country by just the opposite – by how many people are no longer dependent on the government— not because we pushed them out into the cold, but because we understand that the reason we are exceptional is in this country the true freedom of prosperity doesn’t come from the mighty hand of the government; it comes from the power and people that control their own lives and their own destinies, and the dignity that comes from work. There’s a reason why in this country we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April— because we celebrate our independence from the government not dependence on it.” [12:45]”

And there are a number of quotes like this on that page.
