Thank you for your thoughtful reply - that alone, makes it standout among the others.
I will say in reply, Walker has shown that once he makes his stand, he stands and fights, and he wins.
Harvard Business School is the heart and soul of the One World movement witihn the business community. Now, I don't recall ole Ted flunking out due to arguing with his perfessers so either he agreed with that hokum or he has a track record of regurgitating whatever it takes to get himself ahead in the world. There are no other alternatives on that front.
Goldman Sachs has long been one of the primary financial advocates and backers for moving US industry offshore. I haven't heard that Ted and his wife have come to blows over their economic disagreements.
Pretend we're still in the Hundred Acre Wood where giving good speech gets Christopher off and is therefore sufficient if you like.
I stated my position and I thank you for making it clear that your thoughts on the subject boil down to yelling, "Bullshit"
Very Good post. Thanks for the comprehensive look at Cruz’s position.
You are not helping Cruz with your wild-eyed rants and LIES about Walker.
If you want to G nasty, I can rip Cruz to pieces. But I don’t because he is another good conservative, like Walker.
Perhaps you should focus on what Walker actually did in elective office that was not conservative.
I prefer Cruz’s position of no path to citizenship over Walker’s let them pay a $100 fine position.
Obviously, though, there are people around who can be suckered early and no doubt often right up to the Republican Convention after which the real money will be spread around.
You’re welcome.
I also seriously doubt his opinion or the opinion of Cruz will do much to influence a Congress full of pigs already beholden to the masters of international finance who are the root of the problem.
That said, King Barry being above the law stands as a singular example of what a President can't Constitutionally do but a King can do when Congress is bought and paid for. Read through what a President who abides by the Constitution can do and it boils down to enforcing the laws on the books which now call for said illegals to be deported.
Which candidate would and could do that if elected President remains to be seen no matter what any of them say.
"....“We need to focus where there’s agreement: securing the border and improving legal immigration,” [Sen. Ted Cruz] said. “And once we demonstrate we can secure the borders, I think then we can have a conversation about people who are here illegally.”
Cruz added that he tried unsuccessfully to pass an amendment to the bipartisan immigration bill that passed the Senate in 2013 that would have barred undocumented immigrants from receiving citizenship but still allowed them to obtain permits to live and work in America. Its failure, he said, showed Democrats were unwilling to compromise on citizenship at all costs.
Cruz’s anecdote again left things open to interpretation. At the time he offered his citizenship amendment, The New York Times described it as Cruz seeking a “middle ground” between full citizenship and mass deportation in which undocumented immigrants could still work legally in America.
On Wednesday, however, a spokesman for Cruz, Brian Phillips, clarified to msnbc on Twitter that this interpretation was incorrect and Cruz merely offered the amendment as an exercise to prove Democrats’ obstinacy on citizenship. It was not an endorsement of the work permit component of the bill that his amendment left intact.
“Cruz’s amendment had nothing to do with that issue,” Phillips said.
Cruz offered an unambiguous defense of greater legal immigration, where he boasted that he had offered to expand an annual cap on H1B visas for high-tech workers “fivefold” in order to attract more talent to the United States...."
You twist Walker’s words....just like liberals love to do...in order to drive a wedge between conservatives.
Cruz supports work permits, he put the amendment into the reform bill...which is amnesty.
Cruz supports a 500% increase in legal immigration.
Walker has always been against amnesty. Since before he was governor.
Walker has now clearly adopted Jeff Sessions position on immigration. It is the strongest stand of any candidate, including Cruz.
Cruz is nothing but words and good speeches. He is Harvard educated. He is a first-term Senator. He is another Obama.
But you probably would like to have another Obama in office and this is why you are trying to divide the conservative base using liberal sources, lies and twisted words. You fail to show one things Walker DID that was not conservative.
Walker has governed as the most conservative leader in elected office....and that bothers you because your guy pales in comparison.
“In terms of legal immigration, how we need to approach that going forward is saying – the next president and the next Congress need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that’s based on, first and foremost, on protecting American workers and American wages,” Walker said Monday in an interview with Glenn Beck. “It is a fundamentally lost issue by many in elected positions today – what is this doing for American workers looking for jobs, what is this doing to wages, and we need to have that be at the forefront of our discussion going forward.”
[...] Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who Walker talked with over the phone about the issue and told Beck was an influence, has spent years challenging his colleagues over the issue, arguing that guest worker programs and H1B visas for high-skilled workers drive up unemployment and drag down American labor standards.
“I thought that was a very responsible and commonsense approach,” Sessions told msnbc when asked about Walker’s comments. “It’s unthinkable we admit a million people a year lawfully and nobody’s even willing to discuss whether that’s the right number and if we have within it the right makeup of skills and education levels,” he added.

If Jeb is on the GOP ticket, AZ will go RAT.
This is why the media wants Jeb.
As I said, Cruz does not offer a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Didn’t then, doesn’t now.
Excellent point.
Cruz, Walker and Palin all endorsed RINO Doug McDucey for Governor.
