No legislation moved, and no more session days left
In May 2010, while running for governor, Scott Walker said he had serious concerns with Arizona's immigration law, which requires police to ask people about their immigration status if they suspect the person is in the country illegally.
But days later, he reversed course and promised to sign such a measure if he were elected.
Then in July 2013, Walker said he supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. But a spokesman in his office told us at that the time that Walker hadn't endorsed a specific policy.
In any case, at this stage, several months away from the end of his term in January 2015, Walker hasn't said anything further with regard to his promise to pass an Arizona-style immigration law.
And the Legislature is not scheduled to return until January 2015.
So we're moving our rating on that promise from Stalled to Promise Broken.
