You’re right not to believe him. All pro-amnesty pols say they aren’t for amnesty. But Walker hasn’t walked back any of his actual positions: arguing as recently as within the last two years for 1) immediate legalization, 2) eventual citizenship, and 3) being so pro-open borders than anyone who wants to can come here so easily legally that they won’t bother to cross illegally.

Given that, Walker’s two claims—that he’s for border security and e-verify—could not ring more hollow.

Friggin’ fraud.

Did you hear the new twist Walker put on E-Verify?

I think this was the quote - “If we can convince 100% of employers to use E-Verify....”

How about passing a law that compels them to use it?

How about suing employers who knowingly hire illegal workers?

How about arresting illegal workers at the work site and taking them straight back to the border?

No - Walker wants more employers to voluntarily use E-Verify!

What the hell is wrong with people like you two?

I would not try to speak for gwgn02, but I agree with him, so this is "what the hell is wrong with me".

Walker avoids even the mention of illegal immigration in his speeches; you can see and hear what he said and done in the past at the following link with a video in his own words.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/02/so-what-is-scott-walkers-immigration-position/

There is much more out there about Walker that will come to light; as far as I'm concerned he is a Rino this will become increasingly evident; riding high now but he will fall, when it comes time for Walker to bow out it will be interesting to see who he throws his support behind; IMO he will disappoint.

I calls it as I sees it;  Walker is walking back not because he changed his mind (I ain't buying it) but because he thinks it is politically expedient; you will see more of this in the future, he will be explaining his shifting positions on Common Core (again politically expedient), wait and see

Who do I support? The man who says what he means; who believes what he says; a man who does not backtrack, make excuse or most suddenly change his mind; I've had  enough of that crap and that is "what the hell is wrong with me"

The following is an extract see link below: 

Ted Cruz: Ted Cruz is the only major candidate who has never supported or endorsed amnesty.

He's resolute, he's firm, he's good on most of the other issues, and he has Spanishy good looks.  What more could you want?

And more at:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3262851/posts

There is a story in the New York Slimes that tries to imply he supports amnesty, you can find it and see how convoluted the story is; that is it, Cruz makes (No Amnesty) an issue in almost every speech; he does not hid or walk back what says; if he makes a mistake or changes a position he will own up to it immediately; and explain clearly what, why, when, where and how; by very close observation I am confident of this; he consistently demonstrates integrity; honesty and willingness to engage anyone at any time on any issue, he is always prepared; he is a thorn in the side of dems and rino's they hate him with a passion; he is their greatest fear.

I have followed Cruz closely since about his second month in congress when he appeared on a news show debate about gun control and beat the seasoned democrat Chuck Shumer severely about the head and shoulders (politically speaking); he made Shumer look like he was the freshman congressman; it was awesome; Shumer never appeared with him again; in fact if you noticed no democrat wants to be in ring with him; they will appear before or after but not with him; he is almost always interviewed alone or with another republican but never with dems or the Rino leadership... Cruz is the man for the times.

“Never laid a glove on him.”

It was something to watch; you can sense Wallace coming to to the realization that the interview questions weren’t going to “get Walker.”

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...
