I don't entirely trust Walker's johnny-come-lately conversion on the immigration issue either (too many Republicans become immigration restrictionists in primary election years, only to convert back to open borders advocacy while in office).

However, one thing in Walker's favor is that he's the only likely candidate to even bring up the fact that illegal immigration is only the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the current flood of Third World immigrants came here completely legally, and many who claim to want to see "something" done about illegal immigration really think that the right thing to do is to make it easier for even more people to come here legally.

Again, I'm not sure that I trust Walker, but I'm still glad somebody recognizes that legal immigration is also a major source of cultural, economic, and demographic problems.

We will always be a nation of immigrants. We have always been a nation of immigrants. Those coming here legally are not the issue. They will assimilate. It is those who come here illegally and steal what is not theirs and will never assimilate that are the issue.

It the current laws were actually enforced, both for Illegal and Legal, we would not be having this conversation.
