Big red flags go up for me every time a politician wants to switch their beliefs while running for a higher office.
Shape up quickly or give me my money back!
Amnesty wrong!
Open borders wrong!
Not emptying America out of ALL illegals is wrong!
Uh oh, flip-flop

“Well when events change, I change my mind. What do you do?”
— I believe Robert Samuelson said that.
“Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Sunday that his “view has changed” on immigration and he no longer supports reforms that would allow undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States. “
Wonderful. I always believe it when a politician changes his stance right before deciding to run for president. /s
Heck, it’s hard enough to get them to stick to what they say even when they’ve said it for decades. DC corrupts. If they go in wishy washy, they will turn on us in a heartbeat.
I’m voting Cruz.
Walker is on a slippery slope if he flip flops on amnesty which I always thought he was for. Conservatives will bail on him.
- Never proposed or signed legislation giving illegals licenses to drive
- Never proposed or signed legislation giving illegals IDs to vote
- Never proposed or signed legislation giving in-state tuition benefits to illegals
- Never proposed or signed legislation promoting sanctuary cities
Past statements vs. being involved in actual, pending, and passed legislation on a federal issue.
He’s evolved - an in the right direction.
Sen. Cruz Presents Measure to Strengthen, Improve Legal Immigration
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent. The measure would effectively address the needs of our nation’s high-skilled workforce by helping meet the growing demand for workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It will also make block grants available to states to promote STEM education efforts and increase domestic STEM professionals. The committee voted against the amendment 4 to 14 with every Democrat voting against it on a party-line vote.
Even McCain is against amnesty during elections. Just ask him.
Lots of people "evolve" when money and power are dangled in front of their faces.
He’ll change back again, if he’s elected ... LOL ...
I’ll admit he’s good on government spending and union issues — however - those aren’t my issues.
With 90 million people not working, immigration should be at nearly zero.
Amnesty was a hot potato back when Reagan was President and the Democrats snookered him on their promise that “This is the last time we ask. Really.” Then they reneged on actually tightening the border, making enforcement a steadily harder job all the time.
Amnesty is not a winning strategy for conservatives. No matter how it is played, either for it or against it.
Bravo Scott Walker!
I don't criticize Walker for this crucial change.
I applaud and support it.
I will only endorse a candidate who opposes amnesty for illegal aliens (no matter what amnesty is called).
.
I would like to see other potential GOP candidates make the same statements.
Yes, he has made statements supporting "comprehensive immigration reform."
Has he signed, sponsored, or co-sponsored any amnesty legislation?
He has clearly came out in support of border security first and no amnesty.
You FReepers want to tear down a fine conservative Republican with a proven record of fighting the Left, but all your doing is greasing the skids and ensuring the nomination for Jebbie or Rubio.
THE BOY IS CONFUSED...
Great another confused candidate.. like Myth Romney..
And ALL members of Congress, both houses, both parties..
except for a very few.. (single digits 1 or 2 percent)
No wonder Congress is in chaos and the President is a Traitor..
So far, NO pitchforks and firebrands.. coming for Washington Frankenstein.. or is it Steen..
