We don’t need a path to citizenship, we already have a friggin’ road. Read the map and follow the directions and you’re there!

Pretty soon, I expect Cruz to sell us out.

Wish I was joking.

The hits keep coming. Not surprised at this rate.

I don’t understand what is behind politician’s thought that there is some great big roadblock to citizenship in our country.

Hails from Preibus’s state.

I suspected as much.

Right in line with Paul Ryan.

Walker endorses path to citizenship

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

I think we all endorse a path to citizenship, its just how we get there that is in contention. But this article specifically says that Walker favors the Senate Bill. I don’t agree with him on that.

A path for citizenship has always been available, but invaders have no regard for legal means dontchaknow.

Immigration laws should be relaxed to make it easier for people to come to the U.S. and attain citizenship in the future, he said.

Rubio and now Walker. What difference does it make anymore? I hate to say it, since it was written by a commie, but there are parts of What's the Matter with Kansas? that ring true. The "Mods" campaign as "Cons" and say all the right things. But when push comes to shove, their true loyalties to the crony capitalists are revealed.

The list of real Patriots is rapidly narrowing to Governor Sarah Palin, Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Louie Gohmert, among a select array of others. And Tom Tancredo is looking a lot better given the existential crisis that the illegal invasion of America presents. The Obama cabal continues to encourage these criminals and their third-world families to swarm across the Mexican border.

It’s like the invasion of the body snatchers, or some kind of airborne virus. Egads, is no one safe from this idiocy?

There is a path to citizenship. The path we offer is the most generous in the world. Many people follow our path.

Unfortunately many do not follow that path and they ignore our law. Of those that do not 60-70% are Mexican.

Why should Mexicans be allowed to violate our law? Why should they be favored over all other foreigners? Why should any illegal alien, Mexican or not, be favored over those who follow our law?

Why should border security be conditional? Why are politicians making political demands as a precondition for implementing the border security required by law?

Enforce existing law.

Big money interests again.

I wish you were too, but nothing would surprise me now. Nothing. They all seem to have their price, or someone has the goods on them, I don’t know which. But whoever they’re answering to, it isn’t the conservative base. That’s why they’re going to find they don’t have a base anymore. Good luck getting those votes from the “new citizens”, fellas. Glad my family is in a situation so that we’re not contributing to their bribes, I mean entitlements. I hope all conservatives can find a way to avoid contributing, or contribute the bare legal minimum. Let them bribe their new constituents with the left’s money, or their own. Ha.
