Instead of getting Ted Cruz supporter Bob Vander Plaats' "wisdom," listen to yesterday's wide ranging and revealing Scott Walker interview:
The Dana Show 29:00
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Your
PRO-AMNESTY Candidate, Scott Walker, is PROVED to be TALKING OUT OF BOTHS SIDES OF THE ISSUE (
you CAN NOT TRUST him ! ).
Watch the videos and READ the article from
HOT AIR, most certainly not on your list of band-sources.
... Two points.One: He says hes not for amnesty, his citizenship stance notwithstanding, but thats not a new soundbite for Walker.
Amnesty means many things to many people;to the Gang of Eight, for instance, the fact that illegals would be forced to meet certain requirements (paying back taxes, etc) before qualifying for citizenship meant that their plan wasnt amnesty.
Walkers been insisting for more than a year that he doesnt support amnesty eithereven though he does support citizenship and liberalizing the rules for legal immigration.
Two: Hes quick to tell Raddatz that hell lay out his own immigration plan eventually if he becomes a candidate,which is his way of saying dont ask me anything too specific right now.
Listening to him here, you would think he didnt have firm opinions on immigrationyet beyond some basic principles like secure the border.
But thats not so.
Watch him field a question on immigration from 2013 in the second clip below and note what he says about border security at around 1:30.
For Walker, securing the border is less a matter of building a fence or hiring 10,000 new Border Patrol agents than it is about RELAXING THE RULES for legal admission to the U.S.
His view seems to bethat if you want to come here to work, IT SHOULD BE VERY EASY FOR YOU TO DO SO easy enough that you wouldnt even think of crossing the border illegally, as the legal route would be just as simple.

Top ‘o the Morning CW
The notion that anyone would put forward that Scott Walker is afraid of anything (given what he’s been through) strikes me as alternative universeism. And, to somehow compare him to Obama, is plain moonbatism.

‘...he’s also ducking out of uncontrolled situations, skipping questions from the press, and spending more time on small or private events, usually packed with friendly crowds.’
Which is what Hillary is doing. No need to overexpose with 18 months to go.

January 3, 2011 - Walker assumes Office of Governor of Wisconsin.
June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin"- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...
[Wisconsin is the only state to ever revoke instate tuition for illegals.]
______________
Posters who choose to paint Walker as supporting "amnesty" must then paint Cruz with the same brush (if they were honest).
______________
"....We need to focus where theres agreement: securing the border and improving legal immigration, [Sen. Ted Cruz] said. And once we demonstrate we can secure the borders, I think then we can have a conversation about people who are here illegally. Cruz added that he tried unsuccessfully to pass an amendment to the bipartisan immigration bill that passed the Senate in 2013 that would have barred undocumented immigrants from receiving citizenship but still allowed them to obtain permits to live and work in America. Its failure, he said, showed Democrats were unwilling to compromise on citizenship at all costs.
Cruzs anecdote again left things open to interpretation. At the time he offered his citizenship amendment, The New York Times described it as Cruz seeking a middle ground between full citizenship and mass deportation in which undocumented immigrants could still work legally in America.
On Wednesday, however, a spokesman for Cruz, Brian Phillips, clarified to msnbc on Twitter that this interpretation was incorrect and Cruz merely offered the amendment as an exercise to prove Democrats obstinacy on citizenship. It was not an endorsement of the work permit component of the bill that his amendment left intact.
Cruzs amendment had nothing to do with that issue, Phillips said.
Cruz offered an unambiguous defense of greater legal immigration, where he boasted that he had offered to expand an annual cap on H1B visas for high-tech workers fivefold in order to attract more talent to the United States...." Ted Cruz tiptoes around immigration at Hispanic business event
----------------
March 2015: We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false, she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.
I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment, Walker said. In terms of what to do beyond that, again, thats something we got to work with Congress on.
Conservative Media Rallies to Walker After Tough Talk on Legal Immigration "The conservative movements leading media icons lined up to back Scott Walker after the media attempted to lynch him for talking tough on immigration.
After being attacked by outlets such as MSNBC, Mother Jones magazine and the Huffington Post, Walker stayed the course, telling the Quad City Times on Friday that American workers had to come first.".....................

SourceSen. Cruz: Congress Must Prohibit Obama From Abusing TPA to Change Immigration Law
CRUZ FILES AMENDMENT TO TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY LEGISLATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today filed an amendment to the Trade Act of 2015 to lock in assurances that this legislation cannot be used to change federal immigration law.
"The Obama Administration has repeatedly assured Members of Congress thatthere is nothing in the Trade Act of 2015 that would allow the President to unilaterally make changes to federal immigration laws.
I agree, and we should put it in writing and make it binding law," said Sen. Cruz.
"I am a strong supporter of free trade, but I cannot support legislation that would allow the President to once again circumvent Congress to enact his own immigration laws.
Since the Obama Administration has emphatically arguedthat TPA will not affect immigration,
it should support this amendment, which makes that promise explicit."
The amendment states thatnothing in the Trade Act of 2015 or in any trade agreement subject to the Act "shall alter or affect any law, regulation, or policy relating to immigration."
The amendment also states thatany fast-track procedures shall not apply to any implementing bill submitted with respect to a trade agreement"that includes any provision that alters or affects any law, regulation, or policy relating to immigration."
The text of the bill is available here.
TRED CRUZ had a gut-ripping amendment to that bill.
So I support TED CRUZ !

It seems like common sense to minimize contact with a hostile press.
This is the Internet Age. He can get out his message while bypassing the press.

TRED CRUZ had a gut-ripping amendment to that bill.You really are stupid.
Ted Cruz offered that amendment after he voted to move the TPA along.
Ted Cruz's amendment went down in flames (like everyone knew it would) so the bill has NO PROTECTION from Obama flooding our nation with illegals.
On final vote, with the details still in secret and Cruz's amendment voted down, CRUZ VOTED TO PASS THE BILL
Ted Cruz wanted this to pass all along. He penned op eds and urged its passage. His amendment and talk was empty pabulum meant to sway the weak-minded, like you.
Ted Cruz is an establishment, amnesty, US Chamber, Golman Sachs Republican.
Ted Cruz, first term Senator....gives great speeches, then votes the other way....reminds me of another first-term Senator who ran for President.
