Gov. Walker’s Immigration Stance At Center Of Dispute
CBS DC ^ | 03/26/2015 | Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A dispute over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s position on immigration erupted on Thursday, highlighting the Republican’s struggle to appeal to conservatives on the explosive issue as he prepares to launch a Republican presidential bid.

The two-term governor has consistently opposed what he calls “amnesty” for immigrants in the country illegally, but his definition of amnesty has evolved. In a recent closed-door meeting with top New Hampshire Republicans, Walker said such immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country legally.

We’ll see, but let me say this and I think I speak for a large contingent of rightists.

After YEARS of immigration policy failure under Bush, and now YEARS of backstabbing, flip-flopping, and shamnesty pimping by governors, legislators, and others who are supposed to be on our side but are flooding the nation with third world detritus for the chamber of communists, I have ZERO TOLERANCE for this kind of BS. State your position, and stick with it. Don’t lie to me!

Anything short of deportation IS amnesty and no wordsmith ink will change that fact.

That’s really what it comes down to, the cheap labor importer donors or the voters.

I know I’m done voting for anyone unwilling to uphold the rule of law.

Illegal aliens can return home and apply to be immigrants under the law like everybody who is an immigrant.

Exactly. And go through the stress and pay through the nose like WE did for my hubby. If not, I want a frikkin’ refund. I would even love to see a class-action lawsuit, IMHO.

We followed the law!

Disappointed. That leaves Ted Cruz. Can’t think of another acceptable candidate that’s likely to run.

They are not immigrants, they are illegal aliens. They should be denied all support and be sent home.

Admittedly, I’m a Walker supporter but it’s becoming obvious that he supports amnesty in some form. I can’t vote for the man if this is his position. Whoever is our next president is going to have to confront this problem. My guess is that most of the illegals are going to end up staying in the country anyways, but don’t say openly you would allow illegals to stay without stipulations. Walker is making it appear he won’t do a damn thing to oppose it. I’m not a Cruzer at this moment but I’m ready to walk on Scott.

And Cruz won’t state if he will seek deportation or not. He is clear securing the border is first. But bush and Obama have try to tell what they did was securing the borders. Cruz will gain more with clarity than he might lose.

If he wants amnesty ever for illegal aliens— He is history politically. I will never vote for amnesty-— EVER!!!

My ancestors entered legally, a few before the Revolutionary War, almost all before the War Between The States, a couple thereafter, many in coffin ships, most in steerage. They were mostly famine refugees from my ancestral home. Ireland. At least one valiant Scot in the aftermath of Culloden, and an Englishman. All of humble origin, they rose from their straitened circumstances by dint of their own effort, without any assistance from anyone but our dear Lord in Heaven. They helped build our great Nation, and I am forever in their debt for having bequeathed me citizenship in this, the greatest Nation ever to arise on the face of the Earth.

To those seeking Freedom, come! But come legally!

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."
