Scott Walker Endorses Path to Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants at Private GOP Dinner
Breitbart.com ^ | 26 March 2015 | Dan Riehl

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker may be on the verge of burning himself down before he actually gets started, given what is now becoming something of a circus regarding his actual stance on immigration.

According to this new Wall Street Journal report, it’s quite possible a supporter of Jeb Bush, or another candidate went to the media regarding Walker’s recent comments at a private GOP dinner, it doesn’t matter. With three sources now (anonymously) on record, he appears to have Walkered himself right into this one. If his name becomes synonymous with waffling on a critical issue like immigration, his next nickname may be toast!

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told a private dinner of New Hampshire Republicans this month that he backed the idea of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and to eventually become eligible for citizenship, a position at odds with his previous public statements on the matter.

Given the history here, it may now be impossible to know precisely where Walker stands, with supporters left to assume the worst — that he’s just another open borders Republican — becoming the default across the conservative grassroots whose support he needs to win.

We need to secure borders, document who is here, and decide how to assess them for citizenship.

Why? Other than breaking the law what have they done to warrant such a gift?

Don’t care. I don’t care if he says that he is for abortion, gay marriage, sending bus’ down to Mexico to bring back a bunch of illegals. LOOK AT HIS RESULTS FOR GOD’S SAKE......The Man is a Complete Conservative...........Look at his record.....show me where he is for abortion, gay marriage or immigration....THERE IS NOTHING THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HIS ACTiONS SHOW HE IS AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND ABORTION. Why are you blasting an action guy? So what if he says nonsense at a dinner. Maybe he was drunk. He doesn’t do as he says which I am fine with.

His actual bills do not entertain any of that. I love Walker because he says some crazy stuff but his actions are not in line with it. Just the opposite of others who say they are going to do a bunch of stuff and does nothing.

This is silly.

This is recycling the same - what is the meaning of “amnesty” dance.

Bush’s fingerprints are all over this.

That is because you want a fake guy who says what you want to here and doesn’t do a dang thing........that is worse. Go ahead and get your Obama clone.....speaks all the right thing but doesn’t get a damn thing done. You deserve each other.

Yes if and when they’re found.

There certainly needs to be a dialogue. I think you look at the cases out there and decide on how to handle them.

You get this down to the County level. You document the illegals here and then decide what to do with them.

The right path to citizenship:

1. Go back home.

2. Learn English. 3. Visit the nearest US Consulate or Embassy.

4. Fill out the application.

5. Check the mail.

6. Keep checking the mail.

He did a good job on the public unions and the state budget. But I think he’s a chamber of commerce type. More illegal immigrants means that his buddies can hire more workers for less pay. Which might, unfortunately, be why he fought the public unions in the first place.

You’re wasting you breath. I don’t trust the media at the moment on what they’re saying about Walker or Cruz

I’m not jumping in on this one other than to say - I want to hear this from his own mouth. We chide the low information voters on here, yet, some take every word put out as gospel and make decisions based on these reports. Why not wait and hear him out before jumping to conclusions. This could be one of Jeb Eyes flunkies trying to sabotage Scott’s quest for the WH. Let’s take a wait and see approach before making rash decisions. If he indeed, said this - then we can go from there.

I will not buy three ‘anonymous sources’ saying things about Walker. Sorry.

Just to be clear, your candidate, Scott Walker, the one you like to harp on about how much he has accomplished, would not have accomplished squat without having a GOP controlled congress. All Walker had to do was sign the bills. It was the GOP controlled Wisconsin Legislature that did most of the heavy lifting that took most of the risks, that did most of the work. Walker was just real good at using his wrist to sign the bills.

If Walker had only one GOP controlled chamber in the Wisconsin Legislature or both controlled by Democrats he would not have accomplished anything.
