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."...
March 1, 2015: Fox News: Chris Wallace interviews Scott Walker:
".....WALKER: And my view has changed. I'm flat out saying it. I'm -- candidates can say that. Sometimes they don't. I'm saying my --
WALLACE: So, you've changed from 2013?
WALKER: Absolutely. I look at the problems we've experienced for the last few years. I've talked to governors on the border and others out there. I've talked to people all across America.
And the concerns I have is that we need to secure the border. We ultimately need to put in place a system that works. A legal immigration system that works.
And part of doing this is put the onus on employers, getting them E-Verify and tools to do that. But I don't think you do it through amnesty.".....
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.”

April 20, 2015: Scott Walker Lays Out Pro American Worker Stance on Immigration "During an interview with Glenn Beck, Walker became the first declared or potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate to stake out a position on immigration fully in line with that of Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). He also noted that he has been working with Chairman Sessions on the issue to learn more about it.
Walker is now the only potential or declared GOP presidential candidate to discuss the negative effects of a massive increase in legal immigration on American workers:..........................."
So far Walker is espousing positions furthest to the right and that causes me some hope.
If a candidate does not propose building a barrier along the border first I’m not interested
Jennifer Rubin, huh?
The NeoCons are nervous. Maybe the back up horse is straying out of the docks.
BTW Jenny....mass immigration doesn’t hurt workers? If not, what would be the point of it?
Ask the jerks at SoCal Edison who just booted 400 Americans to bring in H1Bs.
They didn’t do that to “expand the economy”. They did it to screw the “overpriced” people they have, and put more money in the managers pockets.
The southern and western states politicians are deeply intertwined with the illegal alien labor lobby. The upper midwest states, not so much. I think after Walker took a trip down to the border, and took a look around, may have made him think twice about siding with the illegal alien lobby.
Now if he ties reducing muslim terror to reducing muslim immigration, I'm going to write him a check.
“AshLee Strong’
Anyone who feels the need to write their name like this makes me a bit suspicious. Maybe her parents did this to her, but I suspect she feels the need to ‘be different’ and thusly is a bit insecure and not actually a Strong person.
OK, WaPo, calling for references on that one.
Walker is getting really close to supporting what my position on fraudulently documented foreigners has always been, go home and apply like everybody else. Enforcement works everywhere it has been tried.
Any talk of future legistaion makes me nervous. We need to see that they will enforce the laws we have before we agree to any changes.
