He hasn’t actually offered any anti-amnesty policies to contradict his earlier position and his statements over the last two years—he’s just using the standard GOPe cover of “secure the border first”, with the added populist flair of also “prioritizing American workers”. Those are clearly his two campaign-approved phrases, but they don’t actually say that he’d govern contrary to the pro-amnesty wishes of his Koch funders.
As far as I can see, it’s just a little GOPe hedging and fudging.
June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it....
Walker signed his two-year budget at the Fox Valley Metal-Tech's Plant in Ashwaubenon near Greenbay. More than 200 protestors were outside the company with signs calling Walker, "You dirty rat" and "Shame, shame."..."
[NO other governor has revoked instate tuition for illegals. NO other governor has survived a recall election.]
March 2015:“We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false,” she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.”
“I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment,” Walker said. “In terms of what to do beyond that, again, that’s something we got to work with Congress on.”
I was wondering about that at first. But these past few weeks, Walker seems to have broken away from those who lust for cheap labor at the expense of the US worker.
I'm liking Walker more and more as his voice strengthens.
You’d miss the barn with your nose touching it. Your analysis is nonsense.
WALKERS PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGALS, CLEARLY STATED ON 4-24-15
“When I asked if he supported a pathway to legal status, he said no, he’d send them back to their country of origin and let them get in line with everybody else.”
