Exclusive — Walker: We’d Be Sending in Navy to Stop Illegals if They Were Swarming Our Sea Ports Like They Do Southern Border
[SNIP]
".........Since former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush—one of amnesty’s biggest proponents—has now backed off his previous support for citizenship for illegal aliens (he wants to give them amnesty via legal status), that means Rubio is the only candidate who still stands with the AFL-CIO and their brothers in the Chamber of Commerce wanting to give illegal aliens full blown American citizenship. That means Walker, the anti-special interest union battler, has an even better opportunity to fight Rubio—who’s quickly becoming the establishment’s go-to candidate as Bush falters frequently and fails to gain traction on the campaign trail—and his liberal immigration position.
Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), laid out why unions have abandoned Americans when it comes to immigration—they used to support standing up for American workers—and it comes down to purely political power calculations by the bosses.
“It’s not just that unions are looking for more warm bodies to recruit, they’ve undergone a basic cultural change at the top to become culturally leftist in ways they weren’t before,” Krikorian told Talking Points Memo back in 2013. “Americans have pretty much given up on organized labor, so organized labor is giving up on Americans.”
In fact, Walker’s battle highlights an abandonment of the principles on which unions—and everyone else—used to agree. Samuel Gompers, the first president of the American Federation of Labor (AFL)—which would eventually become the AFL-CIO—strongly disagreed with the Rubio-Trumka position on immigration.

I just finished listening to this Laura Ingraham radio show clip and her discussion with Larry Kudlow about Scott Walker.

“Larry Kudlow: “I think Scott Walker is right about not participating in Florida for 2016 race.” - May 27, 2015”
For Gov. Walker it sounds like a plan.
I hope JB is the ultimate loser by what happens in FL and for the nomination.
Whatever furthers that, is a good thing.
“At least now the problem of illegals is being discussed at the national level. It should be one of the most important topics debated in the 2016 presidential election cycle.”
Finally. Tancredo and Hunter tried to get it discussed when W tried to force amnesty on us.
I’d be interested to hear Walker’s stance now, and why he’s flipped 3 times on it. If he has a reasoned explanation and is convincing that he won’t flip after elected, I could vote for him. I just escaped Mexifornia and know how illegals can ruin a place, so this issue is front and center for me.
