"...........Americans have been thirsting for a well-conceived conservative alternative to Obamacare for six years. Finally a leading Republican has offered one. Obama’s centerpiece legislation is now on a course toward repeal — which would probably be the biggest loss ever for progressives and the biggest domestic-policy win in the history of the conservative movement."
Headline news.
It appears that the “media” interpreted Walker’s answer to a question and made it a headline.
Then they said he had to clarify (the media’s mistake).
So now the story becomes that Walker changed his mind.
Interesting how that works.
KASIE HUNT: Do you think that birthright citizenship should be ended?
SCOTT WALKER: Well, like I said, Harry Reid said it’s not right for this country — I think that’s something we should, yeah, absolutely, going forward —
HUNT: We should end birthright citizenship?
WALKER: Yeah, to me it’s about enforcing the laws in this country. And I’ve been very clear, I think you enforce the laws, and I think it’s important to send a message that we’re going to enforce the laws, no matter how people come here we’re going to enforce the laws in this country.
HUNT: And you should deport the children of people who are illegal immigrants?
WALKER: I didn’t say that — I said you have to enforce the law, which to me is focusing on E-Verify.
A Walker spokeswoman followed up to clarify Walker’s position on immigration, saying his position is as follows:
“We have to enforce the laws, keep people from coming here, enforce E-Verify to stop the jobs magnet, and by addressing the root problems we will end the birthright citizenship problem.”
