Scott Walker was pro-amnesty thinking before he was against it.

National Review reported last week that as Milwaukee county executive, Walker signed a 2002 resolution backing comprehensive immigration reform. A Walker spokesperson told the magazine that the resolution Walker signed was actually watered down from a more strongly pro-reform draft, but the resolution called for “greater opportunity for undocumented working immigrants to obtain legal residency in the United States.”
Four years later, Gabriel Debenedetti reports, Walker signed another resolution expressing support for the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, a comprehensive reform bill authored by Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ). Conservatives derided the measure as “amnesty,” with the Heritage Foundation arguing that the Kennedy-McCain legislation “undercuts the rule of law by rewarding those who have acted wrongly and will only encourage further illegal entry.”
