Trump did a great service by bringing up the American victims of criminal alien crime. Tens of thousands have been murdered and millions more have suffered at the hands of illegal aliens. Despite a 71 page 2011 GAO report providing the statistics, Congress has been silent. All we hear are sob stories about the "undocumented." No other candidate has mentioned it except Trump.
But Walker and Santorum have mentioned the damage being done to American workers by immigration, legal and illegal. Trump has not connected the dots between the historically low labor participation rates and increased levels of legal immigration.
But now you want me to believe your candidate is to the right of Trump when it comes to immigration?
My candidate? I am really not happy with any of them when it comes to immigration. They are all waffling and parsing their statements.
Do you actually think for yourself or do you let others, with a ludicrous grading system do your thinking for you?
I have worked on the immigration issue for 8 years as a member of a grassroots immigration organization. I have lobbied on the Hill and in Richmond. I have worked with NumbersUSA, the Center for Immigration Studies, FAIR, and many individuals like Kris Kobach, Robert Rector, Roy Beck, Mark Krikorian, Mike Cutler, Steve King, Jeff Sessions, and many others. We had a booth a CPAC for four years.
I am very informed on the immigration issue and follow closely 7 days a week. I don't consider the NumbersUSA grading system to be "ludicrous." I know how the data are developed and the criteria established. It is all supported with facts that you can see on their website. Roy Beck has been an early and strong voice about the consequences our immigration policies are having in all areas.
I think for myself, which is how I got involved in this effort in the first place. I do it voluntarily and without pay.
You and this web site have to be the only people that actually believe Walker or anyone else of the Republican candidates are to the the right of Trump on immigration.
You are not very informed about the immigration issue. You are easily swayed by misleading rhetoric. You are not alone. Trump and Cruz are not that good on immigration as it impacts the American worker. Walker has had a late epiphany, but no one really knows if he is being honest or not. Trump is getting squishy on the illegals as he takes the heat. It remains to be seen how his position evolves during the campaign. As I said, he did a great service in pointing out and putting a face on the victims of criminal aliens, something that has been lacking. It is about time. Trump should focus no on the link between immigration and American jobs.
Here is where Walker said is for open borders and Amnesty. This is from the Wall Street Journey March, 2015.
“Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told a private dinner of New Hampshire Republicans this month that he backed the idea of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and to eventually become eligible for citizenship, a position at odds with his previous public statements on this matter”
For the record, I will not vote for your boy Walker. It's Trump or Cruz as far as Republicans.
I guess you think Boehner and McConnell have done a great job helping Obama pass all his legislation. The 2014 election was about stopping the Administration. Instead it's been the best gift to Obama.
I guess you are happy with that, and you think more of that will save us?
Finally, Walker is unelectable. The media and the DNC are going to bash him for being a college drop out. You may be good with that, but the majority of people are not. That's why the majority of higher end jobs all require college degrees.
Walker is an Establish, back up fall guy. He will lose just like Jeb.
