Scott Walker, the prominent Republican governor of Wisconsin, has endorsed a path to citizenship for immigrant workers, in comments that come amid uncertain prospects for the immigration overhaul on Capitol Hill.
A significant percentage of Wisconsin farmers depend on migrant workers, many of whom are currently undocumented

Exactly!
Votes and “diversity” matters to those who don’t have to deal with the downsides. It’s much easier to deal with the negatives when they are not a part of your life.
*Runs from room screaming*

This is payback to the Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperity who gave lots of money to fend off the recall.
People who love cheap labor to a large degree fund this party. We may actually come eye-to-eye with the Ralph Nader types on public financing at some point. Strange bedfellows.
Very sad.
” Its like the invasion of the body snatchers”
NO JOKE!!
Mods? I’m not too sure they’re even that, at least the newer faces. Well for that matter, there’s no reason the more senior ones couldn’t have drifted left, we see it all the time.
I am absolutely positive that the left has infiltrated the GOP. It’s their MO, and it has worked well for them in every other American institution, most recently the military and the ostensibly Christian church. They owned academia and the media decades ago.
At least he came out clearly and said where he stands.
I gave him money in the past and can now divert my resources elsewhere.
Others like Rick Perry oppose a border fence and say the public will trust the politicians on immigration if there is more security at the border, which sounds like a veiled endorsement of the fiasco bill in Washington right now that claims to have “security” written all over it.
I think the Progressives have succeeded in getting scaring Republicans into the lie that “If you don’t vote for amnesty, the Hispanics will never vote for you”
This is easily debunked! Look at what happened to Rubio!
He got NOTHING in return! Hispanics aren’t going to vote for him or any GOP-e because they voted for amnesty!
WE DO NOT. Anyone who is in the US illegally, is taking jobs US citizens need, and serving to undermine decent wages and full time work knows that they're breaking the law. If they don't self-deport, they should never be allowed in the US again.
The only "pathway to citizenship" is from their homelands, and only if the US at some point in our future actually runs out of unemployed people.
Please don't speak for those of us who are disgusted with invaders and who think they're all CRIMINALS just by being in the US.
afraidfortherepublic: “I think we all endorse a path to citizenship, its just how we get there that is in contention.”
Agreed. I’m not opposed to legal immigrants who want to come to the US, work hard, and make new lives for themselves as Americans. What I oppose is handing out citizenship to people who have come here, break our laws, and arrogantly demand to stay.
I also oppose turning the USA into Mexico North. It’s not that I’m against Mexican immigrants. I just don’t think they should make up something close to 60% of all immigrants. That’s not assimilation. That’s invasion!
This is very hard to understand.
Many elected officials are acting as if this scum is somehow OWED something by us. Of all the people on the Earth to whom Americans might arguably owe something, the illegals from Mexico are last on the list. Dead last.
Can anybody here give me a coherent, or even semi-coherent, rationale for why “we” have to “do something” (besides rounding them up and deporting them)?
Well, at least we’re thinning the herd for 2016..
It is beyond time to let the GOP wither on the vine.
The agriculture and food businesses depend on the cheap labor very much and they buy Republican politicians everywhere.
Rubio, Ryan, et al will get rich for selling out. I don’t buy
any other false reasoning anymore. They sold out for money, period.
*Cue spooky music*
” The agriculture and food businesses depend on the cheap labor very much and they buy Republican politicians everywhere.”
Looks like most are for sale too....American sovereignty be damned!
Well, unless they run somebody pretty friggin' spectacular. I am VERY doubtful that will happen, my guess is that it will be the great turdbird Jeb Bush. Rockin' Robin Chirp! Chirp! tweet....
In 2018 I will vote again for Senator Cruz, that the extent of my commitment to the Republican party.
