But Walker's actual comments - made in a webcast with Politico in D.C. - were ambiguous on what has been the most contentious question in the broad immigration debate: the status of millions of people living in the U.S. illegally. Walker never mentioned citizenship in his comments.
As for an embassy in Wisconsin, the current one is in Chicago for 3 million people. I think all he said was why should one have to travel to Chicago to do business there? They already send out temporary workers to do embassy business in rural Wisconsin. I'm not sure if that is unreasonable.
Fired off a letter to Rush's private email about this Josh, probably a Union-Stooge spreading falsehoods as well.
Walker has not been clear on immigration, yet, at the same time, these were just remarks taken out of some interview. A bit offhanded, not a formal policy yet.
“Walker never mentioned citizenship in his comments.”
There is a video of an interview with him and at the end he is asked if he could forsee a time when people who were already here illegal could, if they paid fines etc. become citizens (this is not a direct quote you’ll have to find the video there are lots of links to it here). Walker’s response was “Sure”. No he did not use the actual word citizenship. He has said numerous time “a pathway to citizenship”.
This immigration issue has been around since before Bush. I’m sure he has formed an idea of a policy by now. He just doesn’t feel that it is politically expedient to share it with the rest of us yet. Let’s hope he does, clearly, sooner rather than later.
I’d rather know what that is before I jump on someone’s bandwagon. I well remember how Chris Christie was such a hero around here for awhile because he talked tough to the teacher’s union and stood up to them. Look how that turned out.
