But Walker’s actual comments - made in a webcast with Politico in D.C. - were ambiguous on what has been the most contentious question in the broad immigration debate: the status of millions of people living in the U.S. illegally. Walker never mentioned citizenship in his comments.
And he told the Journal Sentinel in an interview Sunday he hasn’t taken a position on citizenship for illegal immigrants.
...
While Walker talked about a “legal pathway,” he said nothing about “citizenship.” (Some Republicans support a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants but not citizenship.)
...
“For the undocumented 12 million that are already here, have you said that you’d support finding a way for them to become citizens?” the governor was asked.
“I haven’t gone into the details of that. What I said in that (Politico) interview and I’ve said in others is we’ve got to balance that, and find a way to fix - my focus is less on a way of dealing with those here - that doesn’t mean it’s not a part of it - but my focus has been on, first and foremost, we’ve got to fix what I think is a broken immigration system just for those that are seeking legal passage.”
Walker was asked: “But you haven’t taken a position on whether the people that are already here should have a conditional pathway to citizenship?”
His answer:
“No. Again I think long term that’s going to be a part of it but I think there are too many people here in Washington who are leapfrogging over everything else and trying to get to that right away. We fundamentally don’t have a system . . . to legitimately deal with people who want to come - in fact, I think you would greatly reduce if not outright eliminate the number of people who come in illegally if we had an effective, time-effective particularly, system of dealing with legal immigration.”
