>>Amnesty: yes or no? If yes, go home...<<
Please tell me which of the 17 or so GOP candidates are not on the record favoring amnesty of one form or another, at one time or another.
Answer: You won’t find a single one, including both Trump and Cruz.
As for Walker, he has now settled on a stance that immigration quotas should be set after considering the effect on the wages and jobs of present American citizens. That position automatically assumes that the border has to be closed, or it’s meaningless otherwise, and it goes well beyond the GOPe which favors immigration generally, regardless of the effect on our present wages.
The GOPe, and the economists who fit that mold, believe that GNP grows when immigration increases the work force. That is true, but it doesn’t mean that real wages don’t also shrink at the same time, which is also very likely true if you’re importing more labor. Walker has recognized this and has found an excellent position to take on immigration, in my opinion, and one that will be accepted by many across party lines as well.
And, yes, you will be able to find amnesty in some form in both Walker’s past and present positions...
