    Scott Walker says he does not support amnesty, but I believe he is just playing a game on that because he works for the Koch Brothers.

    I believe him. Who says he works for the Koch brothers? I know they supported him at one time, but last I heard is they weren't sure exactly who they were going to support sense he doesn't support amnesty. Has something changed since I last heard that?

    No way of knowing for sure. Guess it comes down to what you want or don't want to believe because he has been adamant in his position of not supporting amnesty over the last few months.

    Unfortunately not everyone has Trump's assets and must appeal to donors to finance their campaign. With that said, I saw nothing in the links provided to suggest the Koch's have personally donated anything to Walker's presidential campaign. The following is verification of that:

    Scott Walker’s Immigration Shift at Odds With Koch Group


    Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker speaks during a meeting with Republicans on Sunday in Derry, N.H. Associated Press

    Scott Walker
    won plaudits from David Koch at a New York fundraiser this week, but the Wisconsin governor now finds himself at odds with the leader of Mr. Koch’s Hispanic outreach organization.

    Mr. Koch, one of two billionaire brothers who underwrite a great deal of contemporary Republican politics, heaped praise on the 2016 hopeful at a GOP event Monday in Manhattan. The New York Times reported that he said Mr. Walker, who spoke at the fundraiser, should be the GOP’s presidential nominee. Mr. Koch later issued a statement that he isn’t “endorsing or supporting any candidate for president at this point in time.”

    The same day as the fundraiser, however, Mr. Walker appeared to lurch to the right on immigration politics — calling for new restrictions on legal immigration — during a Monday appearance on Glenn Beck’s radio show. Those comments drew scorn fromDaniel Garza, the executive director of the Libre Initiative, the Koch-backed organization that promotes free-market principles to Hispanic audiences.

    “Any call, by anyone, to further restrict legal immigration is not a viable, nor an acceptable policy remedy,” Mr. Garza said Tuesday.
    In his radio appearance, Mr. Walker appeared to adopt Sen. Jeff Sessions’s (R., Ala.) position that there should be new limits on legal immigration. Mr. Walker said there ought to be “adjustments” to the legal immigration system that protect “American workers and American wages.” In remarks first reported by Breitbart, Mr. Walker vowed to protect American workers from additional legal immigration, and specifically cited Mr. Sessions, who in January released an “immigration handbook” that argued against some legal immigration.

    That did not go over well with Mr. Garza, who said Tuesday he is disappointed with Mr. Walker’s latest turn. Mr. Garza said Mr. Walker is in danger of marginalizing himself should he becoming the GOP’s presidential nominee. In 2012, GOP nominee Mitt Romney won just 27% of Hispanic votes after suggesting undocumented immigrants would “self-deport” under his policies.

    “I don’t think that any candidate should really speak on the issue in a way that satisfies only one dimension of the American electorate,” Mr. Garza said. “You can’t just have a narrow slice of Americans and cater to a very narrow slice. We’ll continue to coordinate activities with folks who want to align with us on these kinds of remedies.”

    Mr. Garza said he met with Mr. Walker in Madison last year, before Mr. Walker renounced his previous support for an immigration policy that included a path to citizenship for the undocumented. Mr. Walker has said he changed his mind after talking with people like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, an opponent of a more inclusive immigration policy. (Mr. Walker last month told a small New Hampshire dinner that he still backed a citizenship path, though he said days later that isn’t his position.)

    The Republican National Committee, which in 2013 endorsed comprehensive immigration reform as part of an effort to be more competitive in national elections, declined to make available its deputy political director for Hispanic initiatives, Jennifer Sevilla Korn. Spokesman Sean Spicer said the party doesn’t comment on GOP campaigns.

    Mr. Walker is hardly the only leading Republican presidential contender to adopt a more conservative position on immigration policy.
    Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Tuesday said he would overturn President Barack Obama’s executive actions that limit deportations of some undocumented immigrants. Mr. Bush, who has been critical of Mr. Obama’s use of executive authority, told radio host Michael Medved that he would repeal Mr. Obama’s deferred action policies, known as DACA and DAPA.

    “The DACA and DAPA? Yes I would [repeal them],” Mr. Bush said. “It’s possible that by the time the next president arrives the courts will have overturned those because this concept of prosecutorial discretion, which is what he’s used as the basis for these executive orders, is to look at cases on a case-by-case basis and he’s had millions of people basically by the stroke of a pen be given temporary status. I think the better answer is to fix the immigration problem, to solve it the regular order way, which is to go to Congress, have a proposal, work on a bipartisan fashion to fix a broken immigration system.”

    Mr. Bush last month said he still favors a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants
    . He called his position on immigration “the grown-up plan.”

    Mr. Walker’s aides said it’s not the first time he’s proposed limiting legal immigration, citing an a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity earlier this month.

    Governor Walker supports American workers’ wages and the U.S. economy and thinks both should be considered when crafting a policy for legal immigration,” Walker spokeswoman Ash Lee Strong said. “He strongly supports legal immigration, and like many Americans, believes that our economic situation should be considered instead of arbitrary caps on the amount of immigrants that can enter.”

    Scott Walker Wins Koch Straw Poll, $900 Million in the Offing

    Submitted by Mary Bottari on August 6, 2015 - 10:41am



    The Koch brothers and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) held their annual summits in California this year. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was a featured speaker at both, capturing enthusiastic applause as he won the Koch summit straw poll last night reports Politico.

    As the Koch network of funders gets ready to unleash an unimaginable $900 million on the 2016 campaign, they are busily trying to remake their public image and spin undisclosed dark money as a plus in political campaigns.

    Charles Koch told the billionaires and millionaires attending his Freedom Partners summit that they needed to recast their multi-million dollar effort to sway elections in the mold of "freedom movements," such as the American civil rights movement. In a similar vein, attendees of the ALEC conference were busy recasting the notion of undisclosed "dark money" in political campaigns as "anonymous free speech" similar to that engaged in by Lewis Carroll or George Orwell when they relied on pseudonyms to publish various novels.

    Get ready for a trip down the rabbit hole.
