Walker is fine and no pro amnesty. Cruz is new and needs to build a better ally network. Walker has accomplishments...he won our local Tea party informal votee last night.
“Walker is fine and no pro amnesty”
It depends on what your definition of amnesty is. He will say he is not for amnesty but past statements have shown he is for a pathway to citizenship for illegals. After his recent interview with Martha Raddatz his spokesman clarified Walker’s remarks saying that Walker does not consider paying fines etc. amnesty.
There are videos as well as news stories with his past statements on immigration out there. You’ll find links easily on FR. In one interview with the Wausau Herald one of the editors asked him if in the future he could foresee a time when illegal immigrants could gain citizenship by paying fines, etc. and his one word answer was “Sure.”
He also hasn’t defined what he means by “secure the borders” nor “deportation”.
It’s interesting how many of these polls, charts and graphs leave off Cruz and Palin. Right now non of them have officially declared they are running and both of them have expressed interest. I have been watching Walker closely since he was county executive. I just finished reading his book. IMO, for what it is worth, is that he is not quite as conservative as Palin and Cruz. He is pretty close to Priebus & Ryan. He supported Romney. I think he leans more towards being a faithful GOP guy. I’m not sure how much the GOPE thinks of him.
I think that all of the candidates will have to present specific policies and plans on how they will implement them if they want to be POTUS. Immigration will be a huge issue as well as national defense, foreign policy, Obamacare and fiscal issues. I think they will probably wait until they actually declare that they are running before we hear much more.
Lots of time yet.
