“You hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that, to me, I don’t think you need any of that if you have a better, saner way to let people into the country in the first place.”

Explain that then.

“You some kind of Bush Bot?”......ok Columbo....yeah I’m not wild about Walker and his “path to citizenship” amnesty stance....so I must be a supporter of the biggest amnesty candidate out there. Good one.

You might try reading up on Walker. He is good in a lot of areas, but his stance (and record) on illegals is pretty atrocious....that is unless you are a fan of the Mexican consulate he helped set up in Wisconsin...and being soft on illegals.

From the same interview:"“See now that’s where they take it out of context,” Walker said in response. “I’ve not said there should be amnesty in this country. I don’t believe that. I don’t support the legislation being kicked around. What I’ve said repeatedly is we need to fix the immigration system, but fix the legal system. So if people want to come in this country we should have a legal immigration system.”

I was very concerned when I read what you linked and I apologize because I should have known somebody would pop up with a politician saying exactly the opposite of what he currently espouses. That's true for every single POL (even Cruz). Under analysis, this comment is absolutely in line with what he believes. He is a problem solver not a temporary "fixer." He wants to fix the larger problem and provide a reasonable working solution to the long term issues. From what I've read of his other positions, I think he'd be perfectly amenable to border-crosser denial systems like fences, security zones with sensors and dogs or troops. He is a pragmatic guy.
