Washington (CNN)Scott Walker on Sunday took his third position within seven days on Donald Trump's proposal to end birthright citizenship, this time saying he opposes Trump and supports the policy.

The Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential candidate was asked on ABC's "This Week" whether he backs Trump's push to end the 14th Amendment's mandate that all children born in the United States are automatically granted citizenship.

"Well, I said the law is there. And we need to enforce the laws, including those that are in the Constitution," Walker said, adding that he favors addressing illegal immigration by improving border security and requiring businesses to use a system called E-Verify to check workers' legal status.

You have no answer? Why are you supporting a liberal socialist who the media is pushing? I notice you don’t deny he’s a liberal socialist? Do you support Hillary, Jeb and, Obama, too?

H1-B visa holders are assured of being indexed to only a percentage of the average income of US citizens. They are always cheaper and glad to be here and employers are glad to keep them.

A good write up, here:

Trump’s expectation requiring parity with US citizens for H1-B visa holders (no more indexing to a percentage):

C’mon now. I’ve started to appreciate him. He is doing a great job of drawing people over to Trump.

It costs $15-20k in fees, legal etc. to get an H1-B. But L-1 Visas are unlimited, and they can’t jump to another company with their L-1. L-1 Visas depress wages way more than H1-Bs, but no one talks about those.

I’m for getting rid of both types, but Cruz only spoke to increasing by 500% the number of H1-B visas.

He has been wishy washy from the start about illegal aliens.

We don’t have time for someone to make up their mind whether they side with the citizens and the rule of law.

We saw what you did there. You’re trashing Trump so more of us will vote for him in our primary. You’re a closet Trump supporter. Whatever doesn’t kill Trump makes him stronger. Carry on with your insults.

Well, L-1s are unlimited, so he couldn't very well increase it.

Plus, you don't realize L-1a are where the wages are really depressed. I've seen H1-B's get hired for more than citizens. I've seen companies that won't hire H1-Bs because of the expense and risk. The original company pays $15-20k and then a month later, that person gets hired by another company for more money and they take their H1-B with them. L-1s are not portable, so they don't have competition, so they don't get paid as much.

If you believe conservatism is pointless, why don’t you go to DU? Why are you supporting a liberal being promoted by the media?

He won’t be in the primary? You still can’t answer why you’re supporting a liberal?

Since when do we take anything the Clintoon News Network has to say with any kind of seriousness.

Next thing you know; there will be those who believe anything the New York Slimes has to say.

The correct answer is: “I’m sorry, but your premise is flawed: the 14th amendment does not such thing.”


Indeed!

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

What “Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof” Really Means:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2139082/posts

MORE:

Using native Americans as a reference to show that “born on soil” does not always confer “natural born Citizen” status:

“After the Civil War when citizenship rights were extended through the Fourteenth Amendment to ex-slaves and to ‘{All} persons BORN or naturalized in the United States,’ that Amendment still excluded individual Indians from citizenship rights and excluded them from being counted towards figuring congressional representation unless they paid taxes. This demonstrates that Congress still considered Indians to be citizens of OTHER sovereign governments even in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted.” (emphases mine)

It’s easy for him to complain, impossible for hi to put his own butt on the line supporting anyone.

All sorts of negative adjectives come to mind, but his one note bull$hit is wearing thin.
