In other words, Walker is a johnny-come-lately on enforcement of immigration law and border security because he can't be seen as agreeing with Obama on an issue and needs to appeal to the grass roots during the Republican primaries. Once that's done, he'll go back to "figuring out a way to property incorporate the millions of immigrants living in the country illegally."
Cruz/Walker could be a real interesting matchup. Cruz's highly-academically trained intellectual skills with Walker's practical, no-frills education. Senator and Governor. Both well spoken and intelligent. Both excellent campaigners who can articulate their message. Geographical and ethnic balance.
hmmm.......
Convenient.
I am hoping Walker is sincere, but I can see some candidate (Rubio comes to mind) saying, after the primaries, “Racist sentiments in grassroots made an Immigration Reformer” as he heads towards the Left.
It’s not good enough.
And Mitt Romney became a “severe conservative” when he was running for president.
Ut oh. I don’t think using 0bola as an excuse is going to help Walker’s claim that he’s become more of a “hardliner” on immigration.
According to this article, Walker believes, “First, Obama’s executive action should be repealed” and that “we need absolute security at our borders and then we can address fixing our legal immigration system and deal with those here illegally but amnesty is not the answer.”
Was 0bola’s amnesty EO ever signed? How does it get repealed, if it’s never been signed?
Sounds like he’s trying to walk backwards and forward, at the same time. That’s a difficult task.
It was all a big misunderstanding .....I knew it had to be....
It's not amnesty anyway, they will have to pay a $200 fine before they get citizenship, that will teach them to not do it again...
Next, let bank robbers keep the $$$ so they dont have to rob again.
Another politician who checks to see what way the wind is blowing before he expresses an opinion.
Disappointing.
.
If Walker proceeds to give about dozen speeches insisting on deportation and nothing else then I’ll start to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Until then this is nothing more than the usual ‘election conversion’ bull manure the GOPe open borders lobby has played for decades.

I’m not surprised at the big rush toward Walker. He has been a great governor and makes an excellent impression to those who weren’t familiar with him before. Often when someone is just a name, people think of him as wishy-washy when he isn’t at all—they just haven’t really experienced him yet.
I do think people in New York are grateful they have someone to run to other than Cruz, who is the real leader. They are afraid of his uncompromising conservatism. But that is what makes him the candidate of many.
I am a bit wary of the quickly loading Walker bandwagon.
I have no respect for a candidate that doesn’t say what he means and is consistent; what is worse; using obama as cover.
CRUZ 2016!
He has always been consistent in what he says, no backtracking, no sudden mind changing revelations, no cowardly flip flopping. If or when he makes a mistake; or changes a position, he will not point fingers but straight up take responsibility.
While this concerns me I also know that I will never find a candidate that has always agreed with me 100% of the time on everything his entire life. If you take Cruz out of the mix (which I won’t do until he does) then Walker may be the best of the worst. At least he has a proven track record of fighting, and beating, the left.
This is the only reason, I couldn’t support Scott Walker. If he’s serious, I’ll take another look, but it looks like something he is saying to get the nomination.
I mean, why would a leftist want to insert themselves here, giving us the most certain of unbiased facts?
I'm sure the author simply wants to inform us. I'm sure the author, or the entire left, would never try to mislead conservatives in any way fashion or form.......
There is nothing that will get me to vote for Jeb Bush. If there is no third party candidate I’ll vote for my dog before I’ll vote for another RINO.
Walker sounds just like Mario Rubio... before he got elected.
Thanks for the post!
