That's right and in my view Walker and/or Santorum are pretty much the best choices we have.

His support for TPP ruined him for me.

Unless Trump reverses his stance, we don't have a candidate.

You're intelligent enough to know that most of them will never qualify to get back in. That's why so many of them are coming here illegally now. I don't support the Trans Pacific Partnership either, but we have to make a choice from the choices available.

	Scott Walker on Immigration

Endorses path to citizenship for immigrant workers

Scott Walker distanced himself from House Republicans debating a new immigration bill by endorsing a path to citizenship for immigrant workers.Walker acknowledged that a substantial number of Wisconsin farms depend on migrant workers, some of them here illegally. He also was sharply critical of how difficult the federal government makes it for those workers to come to this country.

"If people want to come here and work hard and benefit, I don't care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or Canada or South Africa or anywhere else," he said. "I want them here."

The Democratic-led U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill last week that features a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. Many conservative House Republicans oppose the bill, viewing it as rewarding law-breakers.

He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants.

Make it easier to enter the country legally

Walker said he is in favor of the Senate immigration bill--that features a path to citizenship--but called it a backward "Band-Aid" approach, saying elected leaders should make it easier for people to enter the country and become legal citizens in the first place.

"Not only do they need to fix things for people already here, or find some way to do it, there's got to be a larger way to fix the system in the first place," he said.

"Because if it wasn't so cumbersome, if there wasn't such a long wait, if it wasn't so difficult to get in, we wouldn't have the other problems that we have (with people living here illegally)," he said. Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.

2010: stop suspected illegals; 2012: that's a distraction

Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years. He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected. Then, in December 2012, Walker said he no longer favored such a bill, telling reporters that such legislation would become a "huge distraction" from accomplishing his agenda for the state. Today, Walker said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants under some circumstances.

Supports AZ's immigration law and no benefits for illegals

I am disappointed by the federal judge's ruling to block Arizona's right to enforce the rule of law without interference from the federal government. As governor, I will sign similar legislation to the Arizona Law to ensure the taxpayers of Wisconsin are not paying for benefits like Badger Care and in state college tuition for people who are here illegally.

JohnDoe, most of the stuff you're posting on Scott Walker is old news. After discussions with Sen. Jeff Sessions, Gov. Gregg Abbot (sp?) and other hardcore anti-illegal immigrant folks he has evolved on the issue. I'm surprised you didn't know that because we've discussed it at length.

The date is on everything posted.
It looks like he will say what ever he thinks will get him the most votes today.
And no one knows what he would actually do if elected.

It's your right to believe as you wish. However, I choose, at this time, to believe Sen. Sessions set him on right path. Only time will tell. Who is your actual choice?

He has plenty of time to flip and flop some more.
Way to early to make a serious choice.
Maybe on election day, or the day before.
They all seem to mess up quickly.
