This is so simple ... Build the wall, enforce it and then we’ll discuss immigration. What’s so difficult about figuring out a policy?

I know Jeb Bush LOVES illegal alien degenerate scumbag criminals.

Maybe NR and Andrew Johnson should be worrying about HIM instead of Walker.

I would bet a Trillion dollars that Walker’s position when related will be perfectly acceptable.

“His communications director, Tom Evenson, explained that a pathway to citizenship that requires individuals to face penalties to gain citizenship does not qualify as “amnesty,” a position he repeated in an e-mail to National Review Online”.

Same as Jeb’s, pro-amnesty.

It’s exactly what I’ve been saying all along. This article hit the nail on the head.

It will be very interesting to see what he does now about the Indian casino. The Seminoles & Menomonee Indians have offered to pay $200 million towards the new arena in Milwaukee if Walker reverses his decision to not allow them to open a casino in Kenosha WI. How is he going to justify not taking them up on that offer to the taxpayers?

I don’t see how any Governor could turn down $200 mil in private sector funding. Why doesn’t Walker want them to open a casino?

Are union issues one of the top concerns of Americans right now?

If unions were the source of all of our financial problems, national security issues, Obamacare, immigration problems Walker would be my go-to guy.

The Potowatomi tribe didn’t want the competition and withheld $25 mill that it owed the state last year.

Our previous democrat governor had made an agreement with the tribe to have the state cover any losses from the opening of a competing casino. The Menomonees have offered to cover these costs for the state. Now this afternoon we hear that the Menonomees & Seminoles have sweetened the pie once again with the $200 mill offer for the arena.

Some believe that Walker’s decision to run for POTUS is to blame as some Iowa Conservatives did not want him to approve the casino deal. He made the decision the day before he left to go to Iowa. He blames the situation entirely on the previous gov.

What will Walker do now? It is getting interesting.

Casinos don’t jibe too well with the Baptist narrative.

As for attacking the POS Jeb I’m all for it.

I will accept filing in the home country for legal immigration and awaiting one’s turn.

Would I permit a properly filed prospective legal immigrant to get a work permit? Only if the actual work numbers in America warranted it. Otherwise, I’d prefer they wait in their home country.

I suspect that agricultural workers will be replaced by machines in the near future. It simply isn’t cost effective to have individuals picking food in a field. That has gradually been realized for every crop. It has limited the variety of vegetables to those that lend themselves to automated picking, but America will make up the difference in a personal way in garden pots and garden plots.

Ask him his thoughts on ethanol subsidies and right-to-work, while you’re at it.

The majority of the american public does not support amnesty.

But I haven’t seen a presidential candidate yet (with the possible exception of cruz) who doesn’t support amnesty.

Clearly there is something very wrong in this “representative” democracy.

Ummmm, maybe he could just enforce the laws already on the books... that’s a workable plan.

His policy is no different from Jeb’s.

Jeb wants to open the doors - that's a change. A bad one. All we need to do is enforce the laws on the books.
