I agree with all of your preferred policy changes on immigration.
As to Walker; maybe you’re right, and he is unworthy of trust. I hope his recent comments on immigration represent a genuine reflection and change of heart on his part, but maybe it is all just a lie. After all, he left himself wiggle/weasel room to later decide that unending mass legal immigration is great for Americans.
Cruz is probably better on illegal immigration, though isn’t he okay with allowing a legal status for some illegals without citizenship? Whatever the case on that, Cruz is bad on legal immigration. I’ve yet to see him criticize any element of it. He did vote against the Gang of Eight bill, but during the debate over it he proposed an amendment to increase H1B five fold, and voted against a Sessions amendment to limit overall legal immigration.
Rubio can’t be trusted. Jeb is atrocious. Jindal has called for huge increases in legal immigration too. Snyder and Kasich would likely be horrible on the issue too.
So if you are right about Walker, then it seems there is no hope at all for good, conservative comprehensive immigration reform from any of the candidates.
Your end conclusion weighs heavily on my mind. We’re being sold out by every one of these idiots. Hate saying it, but it’s true.
My problem with Walker is that he said a way can be found for them to stay if they pay a fine.
And that wouldn’t even be so bad, if he later claimed he had changed his mind. Problem for me is that he declared right then, that this was a new policy and he had already changed his mind.
Game, set, match.
That coupled with the 25 years it would take for legal immigration to match 30 million, it tells me Walker is just doing the fancy dance about immigration.
That really grates me. If a guy can’t shoot straight with me, I’ve got no use for him.
I don’t like some of Cruz’s immigration policy. These guys all seem to be bag men for the Chamber of Commerce and corporations.
It sickens me.
