Wisconsin is suing the Federal Government over the executive order amnesty. I don’t think they’d be doing that if they were for amnesty. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/scott-walker-clarifies-his-stance-in-illegal-immigration-debate-lm8vluj-194096481.html

“The immigration system is broken, but this is an issue that should be addressed through collaborative federal action, not unilateral action by the president,” Walker said. “President Obama’s actions represent a violation of his constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws and exceed the limits of his administrative powers.”

Walker underscored that joining the lawsuit was not about the policy itself but about the process used to achieve it.

“To be clear, this lawsuit is not about immigration,” he said. “It is about the rule of law and the legality of President Obama’s actions.” Scott Walker’s statement on WI joining the lawsuit against Obama’s executive action on amnesty.

The lawsuit is about the executive action. It’s not a statement on amnesty. It is clear from Walker’s statement that it is the process that is the issue. He believes that instead of an executive action immigration policies need to go through the legislative process.

I am very pleased that Walker directed his AG to join this suit. It shows he has respect for the Constitution and our legislative process. As he should.
