Fair enough...Walker has flip flopped and who knows if he is sincere. But at least he is suggesting that that the interests of American workers be considered in setting legsl immigration policy. That alone makes puts him ahead of the others on legal immigration.
It’s very disappointing that Cruz is so liberal on legal immigration, supporting not just the current high pro-Democrat levels, but also wanting to increase them. To his credit Cruz has been good and consistent on illegal immigration, but he seems oblivious to the demographic disaster that is unending mass legal immigration.
Walker HAS NOT flip flopped. Where do you guys get that idea?
He still says that if illegals pay a fine, a way can be found for them to remain here.
That has been his policy since 2006/07. This is 2015.
Try to grasp this concept when addressing legal immigration.
You think it’s great he wants to address legal immigration, and he’s the only one who wants to.
Consider this:
Legal immigration for the last ten years rages from about 1 to 1.1 million, with a few exceptions.
Refugee immigration for the last ten years ranges from about 40 to 70 thousand, with a few exceptions.
At the most, we’re talking about 1.05 to 1.2 million legal and asylum additions to our nation each year.
In 1990 ten years after Reagan’s amnesty ended, we had 9 million illegals in country. This according to the revised census for 2000, published in 2001.
Since 2000, with Bush (mainly) and others talk about amnesty, there was a virtual flood of illegals across our southern border, Time magazine estimating 3.5 million coming across each year. I don’t think it was more than 2.5 million, but who knows.
I do know that during one nine month period there 900,000 illegals taken into custody in one sector on the border. (It was by far the busiest sector) Traditionally the INS (Now ICE / LMAO), had stated they only captured 10 to 20% of the illegals coming across. 900,000 in 9 months translates to a yearly capture of 1.2 million. And if that’s only 10 - 20%... well you do the math. It’s been 15 years now since 2000.
I estimate conservatively we have 30 million illegals in the United States. Over 90% of all births and about 80% of all medical services in the Los Angeles County Medical Centers are to illegal aliens. The school system is crushed with the children of them.
If we don’t have close to 10 million illegals in California alone, I’d be surprised.
So now Walker wants to address legal immigration, but let illegals stay if they pay a fine.
At 1.2 million per year legal immigration, it would take 25 years to stop 30 million people from coming here, if you didn’t allow on single legal immigration process.
And yet gold old Scott Walker wants you to focus on that, and not the illegal immigrants he’ll let stay.
Get the picture? YET?
