Some have voiced concerns about Scott Walker's position on immigration and asserted that he is a flip flopper on the issue, becoming more conservative as he advances his campaign.

Assuming this history is accurate, it seems to me that Scott Walker is now placing himself definitively in our camp by: A) shutting down the border; B) opposing amnesty; C) deporting illegals by self deportation-a conclusion I infer from his conditioning immigration on wages for citizens.

Two observations are in order: first, Scott Walker has changed the equation to our advantage by stressing the need to protect American citizens in their jobs; second, Walker has an unimpeachable record as governor in holding to his promises and carrying them out in the teeth of violent opposition and at great personal and political risk.

I therefore do not find Scott Walker to be disqualified on the issue of immigration and he comes in close to Ted Cruz as a favored candidate.

Walker effectively cuts through to the nugget.

Deport ANY and ALL illegals who cannot produce pay stubs and tax records, including their “anchor chirren”.

Cruz is a master of rhetoric and an admirable one. Walker is a man of actual accomplishment and an admirable one.
