Senator Cruz has almost identical position as governor Walker regarding illegals. So who do you prefer, if not Walker or Cruz?

That is a lie, Walker is for citizenship, and Cruz is fighting citizenship with everything he has.

Cruz at least isn’t for citizenship or continuing virtual open borders, but I agree, he is regrettably pro-legalization.

We need to put pressure against all candidates on the issue and/or hope a better candidate emerges.

W’re merely signing our political death warrant otherwise.

TED CRUZ ON IMMIGRATION
1. End Obama’s illegal amnesty via Congress’ checks & balances.
2. Defund amnesty; and refuse any nominees until rescinded.
3. No path to citizenship for 1.65 million illegals in Texas
4. Give police more power to ask about immigration status
5. Boots on the ground, plus a wall
6. Triple the size of the Border Patrol
7. Strengthen border security and increase enforcement.

You mean now he is getting CLOSER to the positions Ted Cruz has already staked out. Has Walker outlined his positions on ALL of the issues surrounding Illegal Immigration like Ted Cruz has?:


Here is a list of what Ted Cruz supports with respect to Illegal Immigration and Border Issues from NumbersUSA.com. This is a list of his official positions:

From NumbersUSA:

1. Oppose Amnesty - OPPOSE offering the officially estimated 11 million people illegally in the U.S. long-term work permits and/or a path to citizenship (whether through a blanket amnesty or an "earned legalization" or other form)

2. Attrition through Enforcement - fund an Attrition Through Enforcement campaign to cause illegal aliens to self-repatriate back to their home countries over time

3. Mandate E-Verify - jobs held by illegal aliens be opened up for unemployed Americans and legal immigrants already here by requiring all businesses to use the Federal automated, rapid-response internet system (E-Verify) to screen out illegal foreign workers

4. Assist Local Police - federal government be required to cooperate with local officials and pick up all illegal aliens detained by local law enforcement

5. Defund Sanctuary Cities - reduce funding to state and local governments that adopt sanctuary policies and other rewards for illegal foreign workers and the companies that hire them

6. Fund Entry/Exit System - fully fund the completion of the entry/exit system at all borders and points of entry in which every person entering and leaving the U.S. is logged into a database which would notify law enforcement, businesses and others when a foreign tourist, student, worker or other fails to leave on-time? *(US-VISIT was approved by Congress in 1996 and has never been sufficiently funded and is largely incomplete.)

7. Border Security - fund and provide oversight for the full implementation of border security measures already signed into law

8. End Birthright Citizenship - move the U.S. in line with most other nations and stop the policy of giving automatic citizenship at birth to children when both parents are illegal aliens?

9. End Chain Migration - implement the bi-partisan, national Jordan Commission recommendation to limit family-based immigration to the nuclear family of spouse and minor children, thus eliminating the "chain migration" categories of extended family that are the key reason immigration has quadrupled since the 1960s

10. End Visa Lotteries - institute safeguards that will prevent importation of foreign workers any time they would threaten the jobs or depress the wages of American workers

11. Reduce Total Immigration - Until 1976, U.S. immigration tradition was an average of around 250,000 a year; since new legislation in 1990, it has averaged 1,000,000 a year. More than 38 million foreign workers and dependents now live in the U.S. At current rates, immigration will add more than 100 million additional people to the U.S. population by 2060. This government-forced rapid population expansion will require huge increases in energy, roads and other infrastructure and services.


Too bad Walker has to be drug to his positions because he is lagging in polls on the issue.
