and they showed that we’re just being overrun

That's right Bubba. Maybe up in CheeseLand you didn't quite grok that, but it be the truth.

Hope he means everything he said after that.

But then, McCain said he'd "build that danged fence!"

RE :”Once you do that, then you can talk about enforcing the laws by using an effective e-verify system for all employers, one that works for small businesses, farmers, and ranchers, and making sure that any legal immigration, no amnesty, any legal immigration system we go forward with is one that ultimately has to protect American workers and make sure that American wages are going up. That’s the way we prosper for every hard working American in this country.”

I like Walker but this sounds like popular political double talk.

The whole reason to have immigrants is to keep check on costs/inflation due to wages, same with trade. The only other reason might be to increase birth rates, like to keep social security and medicare funded.

Obviously everyone wants more $$$ but we also want low prices too.

From the article: “This will force both to link their own policies to their open-borders preferences and explain the contradiction to the blue-collar workers that will be most impacted by them.”

Walker is onto something here. The impact of unrestrained immigration is obvious, but the tech sector has been the only group objecting, or at least the only group heard objecting. But tying open borders to the wage issue is brilliant, in my opinion, because it pins the Dems down, forcing them to explain why an open borders policy won’t hold down the very wages that they claim must be raised if people are to achieve a “living wage.”

No, Mr. Walker. Immigration policy should protect the sanctity and preciousness of American citizenship.

What it should not do is render it into worthless candy tossed out by whore politicians looking for votes and donations.

[MaxMax]

Ok, so he said "We" as in "the USA" needs to do this or that, then goes on
to say ""Once you do that, then you can talk about"".

Where is his approach? Visiting the border doesn't mean squat, Reid visited the
border too, and many other elected officials including little Dick Turbin.

There was nothing in this interview but his perception and nothing about the solution.
Obama won by doing this, by just playing words so that everybody took it their own way
but once you read the speech, or in this case interview, we can begin to actually see there
was no meaning to his words.

All Walker did here was tell us what we already know.

[dragnet2]

Ever since Scott Walker began engaging on the national stage, he’s been dogged by questions about his policies on immigration.

Walker is just another political fraud, out to save his own political ass.

[9YearLurker]

He has for years said that he’d legalize the illegals here currently, eventually give them citizenship, and make it so easy for anyone who wants to come here from any country to do so that they wouldn’t bother trying to cross the border illegally.

Until he explicitly renounces each and every one of those positions—and vows not to provide ‘dreamers’ or anyone else here illegally escape from the heavy enforcement of our laws—that is, kicks them out of here—he’s a no go in my book.

So far he’s trying to get credit for wriggling back the straightforward statement of his positions, but he hasn’t explicitly said that he’d enforce our laws and deny legalization to illegals in the country now.

Best to keep the heat on all of them until they soundly reverse their pro-legalization positions. (That includes you, too, Ted Cruz!)

[BobL]

He’s still STRUGGLING. It is VERY SIMPLE:

1) No jobs for Illegals - employers get thrown in jail
2) No goodies for Illegals - meaning no welfare, Obamacare...
3) No education for Illegals - meaning no K-12 (screw the courts) and no enrollment in colleges - at least colleges that participate in student loans (i.e., 99.746% of them)
4) A BIG WALL to put an end to border runners
5) And finally - Respecting LEGAL HISPANICS for all of the good things they’ve done for this country - including the awesome people that I work with.

[Mariner]

I"d sure like to see Cruz adopt Walker's position, and I'd like to see them both say no LEGALIZATION to anyone here illegally now.

Ever.

Because only politicians who take that position will ever see my vote, advocacy or money.

It's my bottom line.

[Monorprise]

Either Scott or Ted Cruz needs to leave the race. We can’t be dividing the Conservative vote.

[apoliticalone]

Politicians always say the right stuff, and then they get elected and do whatever their financial over seerers want. I like the idea of making immigration policy something that is good for Americans, and not just business.

He’ll be indoctrinated by the global Chamber of Commerce whose first goal will be amnesty, open borders, cheap labor and rescinding our Constitutional right of national sovereignty through trade pacts. Multi-nationals do not like sovereignty as it gets in their way.

When corporations actually served the USA instead of every country that will make them more profits I was a corporationist. Now I view corporationists as the opposite of conservative. They have no corporate citizenship.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

I dont trust Walker but it is good it is being brought up.

Id say Trump and Santorum are the only candidates who have made much mention of immigration.
