Scott has a problem.
He states his immigration policy has changed.
What do you do if you want to protect the jobs of U. S. Citizens? Don’t you send back the people who are here illegally holding down jobs?
In this video clip his old (2013) policy is aired in a second video clip. He backs illegals staying in the U. S. if they pay a fine.
It is also mentioned that he favored the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill. (You know, amnesty but not an amnesty) He acknowledges that.
Then in this (03/01/2015) clip, Walker is asked if illegals can stay, if they pay a fine. He responds with, I believes a way can be found to do that.
This is the same policy as his old policy.
Then he states that his policy has changed. No Scott, it hasn’t changed. You just got through endorsing the same policy, illegals being allowed to stay in our country if they pay a fine. So you even fibbed about it.
In 2006/07, 2013, and now in 2015, his immigration policy regarding illegal immigrants is the same as that under McCain/Kennedy. Let them pay a fine and stay.
Immigration is discussed starting at 9:20 and the “...a way can be found...” is located at 10:20

Scott Walker may be late to find the right position here, but he may be for real. Sen. Sessions may have gotten his mind right.
There is another post attacking him by Matt Lewis, paid mouthpiece for The Cheap Labor Express, that tells me they’re not happy that he has taken this stance.
"On Immigration, Scott Walker Changes His Mind and Bucks the Beltway Consensus"
There. That's better.
Can somebody explain to me what is new about what Walker said? Granted it is different than what he said behind closed doors a couple of weeks ago, but Cruz has consistently said from the beginning that we must enforce our current immigrattion laws and seal thweborder. What’s new?
I know I am extreme on immigration, but honestly, whether it were Cruz or some other candidate, if someone came out with these positions son immigration, I would walk over coals to vote for them.
1. Secure the border with verification.
2. Begin massive deportation of illegal immigrants, starting with those who have broken other laws.
3. Revoke citizenship for all whose parents were in the country illegally at the time of their birth and end anchor baby citizenship for any future births.
4. Put on notice all who are here illegally that wish to ever become a citizen should return to their country of origin. If you are deported for illegal entry, you will revoke any future path to citizenship.
I am fed up with leeches who invade our country, bleed our social services and ravage our educational systems.
I may be wrong, but I think there are enough people like me who would vote for that candidate to put them in the White House.
GREAT piece!
The comments from the usual FR suspects (campaigning for someone lower in the polls) shows that Walker is over the target!
Sorry.
I no longer trust any Republican candidate on the issue of immigration.
If Walker wins the nomination, he will betray us.
