Here’s a link for you.

READ the ENTIRE “hit” piece.

It’s an interesting piece. As hard as this less-than-friendly “news” outlet tries to slam Walker (even at the end where they’re telling you how to interpret Walker’s words, in spite of what you’ve just read - they just make it up to fit their scenario) it just isn’t there. But there is the headline - which is what people absorb.

Oh, and don’t miss the part where they had to make a correction on their reporting about Walker’s stance.

Your own link offers this damning, verbatim transcript quote from Walker:

” WALKER: If people want to come here and work hard in America, I don’t care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or South Africa or anywhere else, I want ‘em here. To me, if people want to come and live the American dream, if they want to work hard and self-determination and have their kids have a better life, I mean that’s what — whether you’re folks like my brother’s in-laws who immigrated a generation ago from Mexico or whether it’s people like my ancestors who came from places like Ireland and Germany and other parts of the world many generations ago, there’s a similar pattern there. That is, people who came, who risk a lot, whether it’s traveling across an ocean or across a national border.

So anyway, long story short to that, not only do I think they need to fix things for people who are already here, find some way to deal with that (but also) there’s got to be a larger way to fix the system in first place. Because if it wasn’t so cumbersome, if there wasn’t such a long wait, if it wasn’t so difficult to get in, you wouldn’t have the other problems that we have with people who don’t have legal status in the first place.

That seems to be, at least to me, what I hear in the national debate, largely overlooked. It all is about the 11 million — and I don’t know how we get that exact number because people, if they’re not here legally, I don’t know exactly how you figure out when it’s 11 million, or 25 million or whatever it is, but we’ve heard enough about it that it’s a real issue. But, like I said, I don’t know why — you hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that. To me, I don’t know that you need any of that if you had a better, saner way to let people into the country in the first place.”
