This is the correct position to take on this issue. This is where I have been for years. Why is Walker only now coming to the correct conclusion?

I honestly don't think he had a clear position on the issue before. Being the governor of a state far from the border and in the Midwest, immigration just wasn’t much of an issue.

I am glad, that now that he has had time to think through the issue that he has come down on the side of the American worker (and those who would like to work but can't because they are being pushed out by illegals)

Legal immigration has been a sacred cow since the 1965 immigration law. No mainstream pol has ever suggested lowering the annual intake quotas. Until Walker. That is why he is attracting so much flak from GOP and Democratic pols alike. A significant number of major donors on both sides of the aisle require the pols they support to, at minimum, be pro-legal immigration and to support the expansion of the current intake quotas. Walker is writing off the big GOP donors who have imposed this litmus test, and that will have some impact on his viability as a major candidate. Money isn't everything to a political campaign, but it is very, very important.

At least he is coming to that position. He is the only Presidential candidate that understands that both parties have abandoned the American worker. It is a winning position.

Americans Don’t Want More Immigration…And They’re Right

Why are Walker bashers on here insisting he "flip-flopped" on illegal immigration when one of his first acts as Governor was to cut off in-state tuition for illegal aliens?

Perhaps he's listening to "we the people" as he travels around.

Walker’s been running a State and fighting unions and other democrats.

I don’t think he’s had a lot of time to worry about national issues. But now that he is, we’re seeing a quick and flexible mind in action... his immigration solution is brilliant.
