Scott Walker clarifies his position on birthright citizenship: No position

Headline news.

It appears that the “media” interpreted Walker’s answer to a question and made it a headline.

Then they said he had to clarify (the media’s mistake).

So now the story becomes that Walker changed his mind.

Interesting how that works.

KASIE HUNT: Do you think that birthright citizenship should be ended?

SCOTT WALKER: Well, like I said, Harry Reid said it’s not right for this country — I think that’s something we should, yeah, absolutely, going forward —

HUNT: We should end birthright citizenship?

WALKER: Yeah, to me it’s about enforcing the laws in this country. And I’ve been very clear, I think you enforce the laws, and I think it’s important to send a message that we’re going to enforce the laws, no matter how people come here we’re going to enforce the laws in this country.

HUNT: And you should deport the children of people who are illegal immigrants?

WALKER: I didn’t say that — I said you have to enforce the law, which to me is focusing on E-Verify.

A Walker spokeswoman followed up to clarify Walker’s position on immigration, saying his position is as follows:

“We have to enforce the laws, keep people from coming here, enforce E-Verify to stop the jobs magnet, and by addressing the root problems we will end the birthright citizenship problem.”

I any FReeper is still in Walker’s corner after this crap, they need to do some serious reconsideration. Unfortunately, it appears that he has been bought off and has sold out under the direction of the many RINOs that have appended themselves to his presidential campaign. He’s headed in the wrong direction and it is, IMHO, too late for a mid-course correction.
