The idea of visas for wealthy foreigners comes with strings attached that they must invest in productive assets that produce jobs, money must stay for a certain number of years, etc..... Also, these are usually capped at a few thousand spots per year. Moreover, its all a public process and legal.
Whatever you think of the scheme, its a HUGE difference from simply granting amnesty and full US entitlements to millions of law-breaking illegals who follow no laws whatsoever
Don’t fall for the MSM hype to have conservatives attack each other.
Scott has a problem.
He states his immigration policy has changed.
What do you do if you want to protect the jobs of U. S. Citizens? Don’t you send back the people who are here illegally holding down jobs?
In this video clip his old (2013) policy is aired in a second video clip. He backs illegals staying in the U. S. if they pay a fine.
It is also mentioned that he favored the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill. (You know, amnesty but not an amnesty) He acknowledges that.
Then in this (03/01/2015) clip, Walker is asked if illegals can stay, if they pay a fine. He responds with, I believes a way can be found to do that.
This is the same policy as his old policy.
Then he states that his policy has changed. No Scott, it hasn’t changed. You just got through endorsing the same policy, illegals being allowed to stay in our country if they pay a fine. So you even fibbed about it.
In 2006/07, 2013, and now in 2015, his immigration policy regarding illegal immigrants is the same as that under McCain/Kennedy. Let them pay a fine and stay.
Immigration is discussed starting at 9:20 and the “...a way can be found...” is located at 10:20

Precisely. Letting a few thousand wealthy foreigners in with strings attached to how they use their money is not equivalent to allowing a flood of near-feral illegals through the borders. And Walker didn’t sell those visas, which is precisely what Hill and Bill would do (and probably did).
I don’t have a problem with wealthy persons coming to the US.
Once they are US Residents, they must pay our income tax for all monies earned throughout the world. :-). We need their money.
