Adelson is massively pro-amnesty, effective open borders, and cheap immigrant labor.
It’s no wonder Walker two years ago said his approach to the border would be to make it so easy for anyone from “Mexico or any other country in the world” to come here legally that nobody would bother to try to cross the border illegally.
“On the policy front, Adelson’s political agenda has long been dominated by his ardor for Israel and his hawkish views on defense and national security — subjects that are less important to many of the Koch network’s libertarian-leaning donors, who have often pushed for fewer foreign entanglements and tighter defense budgets. But other domestic ideological and bottom-line concerns, as well as political exigencies, seem to have brought the multibillionaires’ agendas closer together.
Adelson, the Koch brothers and a number of the network’s wealthy donors, for instance, are said to be strong foes of estate taxes, which in the last year have increasingly become a target of AFP and some other Koch-backed groups. Likewise, both the casino mogul and the Koch brothers have poured big bucks over the years into efforts to curb union clout, in part by backing the various campaigns of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) as he has fought to limit public sector unions’ bargaining power.
A few Koch network groups, including AFP and 60 Plus, have in the past year expanded lobbying drives at the federal and state levels to pressure lawmakers to kill estate taxes. This spring, the House passed a bill calling for an end to death taxes after a lobbying blitz by a coalition that included a few Koch-backed advocacy groups and other powerhouses like Americans for Tax Reform and the American Conservative Union. A similar bill is pending in the Senate, but Democrats may filibuster it and the White House is firmly opposed.
Another area of overlapping political interest is the Koch network’s multimillion-dollar funding for Concerned Veterans for America, an advocacy group launched in 2012 that focuses heavily on health care reform for veterans and the need for tougher national security policies. The group’s founder, Pete Hegseth, previously ran another outfit, Vets for Freedom, which received $1.4 million from the Adelson-backed group Freedom’s Watch and spent close to $5 million during the 2008 election season, according to public records.”

Walker: "“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.”
I’m sure whatever Walker does on Monday will pale in comparison to what Trump is going to do on Tuesday. Everyone knows a billionaire speaking on a battleship trumps a governor from some midwest state.
They’ll be little if any coverage of this outside of Nevada.
Trump’s hotel towers over Adelson’s Venetian from I-15 lol.
