refugee scumbags arriving

Scott has a problem.
He states his immigration policy has changed.
What do you do if you want to protect the jobs of U. S. Citizens? Don’t you send back the people who are here illegally holding down jobs?
In this video clip his old (2013) policy is aired in a second video clip. He backs illegals staying in the U. S. if they pay a fine.
It is also mentioned that he favored the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill. (You know, amnesty but not an amnesty) He acknowledges that.
Then in this (03/01/2015) clip, Walker is asked if illegals can stay, if they pay a fine. He responds with, I believes a way can be found to do that.
This is the same policy as his old policy.
Then he states that his policy has changed. No Scott, it hasn’t changed. You just got through endorsing the same policy, illegals being allowed to stay in our country if they pay a fine. So you even fibbed about it.
In 2006/07, 2013, and now in 2015, his immigration policy regarding illegal immigrants is the same as that under McCain/Kennedy. Let them pay a fine and stay.
Immigration is discussed starting at 9:20 and the “...a way can be found...” is located at 10:20

The perception of those watching is that Walker has multiple positions on immigration and flipflops. So if you combine the support for his multiple positions, then yes, his position does well in the polls.
What’s amazing is that after 14 years of immigration on the front burner, so many don’t know the facts. I was recently at a TeaParty event where taxes, not immigration was the #1 issue.
One professional staffer of a tax issue group made false statements about immigration that would not be supported by anyone who follows the facts. There are too many like him that take positions out of ignorance.
Repeatedly I hear anti-illegals say that illegals should not vote. That only legals should vote. Huh?
They accuse vote fraud as coming from illegals when clearly the fact is that extremely few illegals vote. Overwhelmingly, vote fraud is by citizens, mostly those who get their money from the incumbent status quo.
On this forum we support defeating Obama’s amnesty any way we can.
The we have a guy run that says he can find a way to let the illegals remain in country. Shouldn’t he be finding away to get rid of them?
He states his policy is different, ground-breaking, a real change from the beltway vision...
And then it’s revealed it’s McCain/Kennedy in a can.
Ouch!
Given the broad division, we’re not going to get a candidate that will deport, by force or policy trickle, illegals. What we can get is a candidate who will walk the minefield and that revolves around welfare. Cut the welfare element and punish political units that give welfare to illegals. It’s a conservative populist issue.
In-state tuition, taxation, crime, jobs, welfare are all ripe for targeting abuses by illegals.
That’s exactly would be implemented by a guy who truly did want to get rid of illegals.
He wouldn’t look for a way to keep them here. He would look for ways to get them out.
What’s more, he’d be so proud of it, he would sing it loud and clear.
There wouldn’t be any double-talk about finding a way to keep them here if they want to stay.
I’m so sick of double-talking candidates. Right now is the time to address it. That’s what we’re doing.
The GOP needs to remember that a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. Better to hang onto your base voters and give them what they want, rather than support something they hate on the off chance that you *might* draw some future Latino support.
Polls show that public supports Scott Walker’s stance on immigration.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
His position is perfect. Always has been but you listen to the media and what they tell you to think. I have told your for months that this is the guy to support but you keep going for some other person who is no where near prime time. You’ll get it eventually. I might just have to drag you kicking and screaming to the polls but I will get you there for Walker. lol.
If I were a Hillary Clinton operative, I would post article after article on FR praising Scott Walker.
As surely as day follows night, the “Cruz or Lose” absolutists, will launch their attacks and the conservative cause will founder, insuring that Jeb Bush (a/k/a Mitt Romney Lite) will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States.
Walker would beat the crap out of Hillary in the general; Cruz would beat the crap out of Hillary in the general; there are probably three or four as yet undeclared conservative candidates who would whip Hildebeest straight up.
The only way we lose in 2016 is if the Cruz supporters and the Walker supporters gash each other so badly that a compromise candidate is the only answer (read, Jeb Bush or Lindsey Graham).
To all supporters of republican candidates: By all means, lay out the case for your candidate and do it often. Do NOT, however, denigrate any other conservative candidates, simply because you think he or she might keep you from getting what YOU want. In other words, let’s all grow up and act like responsible adults.
BTW, it would be a near-heroic act if the conservative frontrunners were to address their own fanatical supporters and say to them, “Look, I am not going to cut down my fellow conservative candidates, and I don’t want you to, either. We will rise or fall based on OUR ideas and OUR virtues, not on what we claim are the shortcomings of others.
LOL
Look, do you really think I’m so stupid I’d dis walker based on a Leftist’s smear?
He was asked a question and he answered it.
If this was his view, I wouldn’t like it and I would address it no doubt. What really bothers me is that he’s trying to say he changed his policy and now has the best plan. He doesn’t.
Close the border and let them stay. They pay a fine.
This is the McCain/Kennedy bill.
Don’t try to hawk it as something new.
You can’t blame this on the Left. Scott got himself in this situation.
Show me how to get to 270 EVs by promising to kick illegals out of the country? I just don’t think it’s realistic.
