First and foremost, it is about preserving American culture and exceptionalism.
Number 2 is to stop the wholesale importation of Islamists.
Wages are a distant #3.
Both parties seem to have bought into the idea that a million immigrants per year combined with another million illegal immigrants per year is a boon for America.
Meanwhile we have more Americans out of work than at any time ever.
Conservatives who find the courage to actually oppose illegal immigration will try to take the sting out of it by proposing easier legal immigration. No one besides Walker and Santorum have questioned why we need to be importing people with half the country out of work already. Legal or not, until the country goes back to work, why are we bringing in people by the millions? How does that benefit the citizen?
Because immigration policy should always be designed to benefit the citizen. And it never is. No one ever asks the citizen what he wants, and good luck even finding out what the true numbers are. They will never ask you what the policy ought to be and they will never even tell you what it is if they can avoid it.
The article ends....
“Scott Walker decided to talk past the expert class, the Koch Brothers and the Chamber of Commerce, to the concerns and challenges facing ordinary Americans. If he decides to keep doing that, he may well win”...
Now doesn’t that sound just like a media push....it was about the same thing Hillary’s doing.....trying to say they are relating to the American people....in order to win.
I dont’ care if or not they “relate” to me....because they don’t....but they do know Americans enough to know what we want them to do and not do. So speak to those issues rather than play this “I want to be your friend” nonsense.
We need a President...not a friend.
I like the fact that Walker buys clothes at Kohls and wears off the rack suits {when I was selling computers, my suits were tailor made, they look better} but most Americans today, don't wear suits and can't tell the difference between Joseph A. Banks and Armani.
Walker is truly the "common man" as was Lincoln.
Scott has a problem.
He states his immigration policy has changed.
What do you do if you want to protect the jobs of U. S. Citizens? Dont you send back the people who are here illegally holding down jobs?
In this video clip his old (2013) policy is aired in a second video clip. He backs illegals staying in the U. S. if they pay a fine.
It is also mentioned that he favored the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill. (You know, amnesty but not an amnesty) He acknowledges that.
Then in this (03/01/2015) clip, Walker is asked if illegals can stay, if they pay a fine. He responds with, I believes a way can be found to do that.
This is the same policy as his old policy.
Then he states that his policy has changed. No Scott, it hasnt changed. You just got through endorsing the same policy, illegals being allowed to stay in our country if they pay a fine. So you even fibbed about it.
In 2006/07, 2013, and now in 2015, his immigration policy regarding illegal immigrants is the same as that under McCain/Kennedy. Let them pay a fine and stay.
Immigration is discussed starting at 9:20 and the ...a way can be found... is located at 10:20
