Yep, he did it on a conference call that was widely reported in the press, and then he “clarified” his position by essentially reiterating it to the largest newspaper in WI. Like Jeb Bush, he has a Mexican wife, but he actually goes farther than Bush on the issue by saying that he wants every single person who wants to immigrate here, whether from Mexico or from another country, to be permitted to do so legally (open borders).

He has also several times tried to claim that he’s not for “amnesty”, though he is for a path to citizenship for illegals and, again, he would in the future as he put it in one of his supposed clarifications (the Breitbart piece), say, “If you’re somebody, whether you’re from Mexico or Germany or Ireland, and you want to come to this country legally, we should find a way to make it happen.”

Thanks for the info and the links. Question: when Walker states that he wants every single person who wants to immigrate here, whether from Mexico or from another country, to be permitted to do so legally, does he not mean he wants them to follow our immigration laws that are on the books, whereby you make application, wait to be notified and then get in line?

In every article about Walker, I notice you come on with your immigration rebuff. Do you understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? Even the articles you cite use the term legal immigration. My son-in-law is a legal immigrant.
When you make such a blatant mistake as saying that his wife is Mexican, it is hard to trust anything else you write. Are you supporting Rand Paul? (You might want to research the last name Tonino.)
