Wisconsin Governor and Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker said he’s “not taking a position…one way or the other” on birthright citizenship, and all other issues pertaining to immigration can’t be addressed “until you actually secure the borders and enforce the laws” in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood released on Friday.
Walker was asked about his support for ending birthright citizenship. He stated, “When it comes to birthright, or anything else, I said until you…actually secure the border, and start enforcing the laws, any politician who talks about anything else beyond that, the American people should be suspect, because we’ve talked for 25 years about those things. I’ve actually talked about doing it.”
Walker was asked about his position on a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, he maintained that “in both of those instances,” “I don’t think any of those issues can be addressed until you actually secure the borders and enforce the laws.”

'Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has gone back and forth on amending the Constitution over birthright citizenship, told ABC's "This Week" that he's against any such repeal.
"Any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing the laws are things that should be a red flag to voters out there, who for years have heard lip service from politicians and are understandably angry because those politicians haven't been committed to following through on those promises."'
So Walker has reversed course.
He Punted, not even a Flip Flop.
They are not legal citizens.
They did not enter legally other than in a illegal alien womb.
This is what his potential donors are telling him to say if he wants their money.
Highly probable. He doesn't own a money printing machine like Donald Trump.
It is not smart. It is weaselly. He has shown a lot of that trait. That is the last thing we need. DC is already full of campaign conservatives who turn out to be weasels.
He took a good position, then abandoned it.
He can NEVER have it back.
He's just too dumb and too gay to be POTUS.
In other words, Walker can’t do two things at once. It’s called multi-tasking. Most of us have to do it at work all the time or the door hits us in the backside. Politicians are just talk.
Confirms my suspicions about Walker
I guess one of us missed. The anchor babies babies are not anchor babies.
Walker has a net worth of minus -72 grand when he filed with the FEC . He’s likely looking to cash in with GOPe.
The one who brings a bone, carries a bone. In other words, if he is going to be “smart” by being murky to enemies, he will be “smart” by being murky to you, eventually. Better to demand clarity, honesty, and follow-through.
Below is the example of the critical examination to which you refer. Try out your critical examination abilities on the following two sentences (A and B) and see if you see any difference. Liberals somehow don't. Amazing.
A. The 14th Amendment as written:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
B. A change to the 14th Amendment that liberals believe would be meaningless:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Then he probably should have taken it and stuck with it from the start. As it is it's his third position in about a week.
“This is probably the smart tact on this issue at this time.”
But what about courageous leadership?
“He took a good position, then abandoned it.”
It’s called taking a call form a major campaign “contributor” who says he didn’t like what Walker said. That’s the one thing that Trump takes out of the political equation. He never has to walk anything he says back because he’s not beholden to anyone for campaign cash!
It tickles the crap out of me that he has enough money to cover every nickel that Boosh gets from his “one world” buddies. But I just imagine that Trump’s not spending much because he’s getting free air time from a media that thinks that by over covering him, they can force him to implode!
Walker has always reminded me of Pawlenty...and that isn’t good, IMO.
Walker goes soccer mom
