It is encouraging that Jeff Sessions has Walker’s ear and that Walker is listening.

Reduce immigration, and bring back jobs to America.

Those two things, go hand-in-hand.

Immigration, and jobs. We are currently wrong, on both.

Both parties are wrong. Nobody is standing up for America.

the way to end illegal immigration is to deal with those politicians that make it possible.

And legal immigration is WAY down the list. For me anyway. We got more serious problems than Legal Immigration.

....An American citizen is an American citizen is an American citizen.

Amen!

This is why Obama (and his ilk) call us "folks" and tell us that the Greeks think they're exceptional too, and that Christians are on their high horse; why they go to great lengths to deny that terrorists in France targeted a Jewish deli.

We're supposed to be global - citizens of the world, governed as united nations (not a United States of America).

This is why Obama and his administration work to de-develop the country, "downsize" and demoralize our military, insult and abandon our allies, and terrorize our common bond and civility.

The moneymen want CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR, and they will fund ANYBODY who will vote to give it to them.

Screwing American labor?
Screwing the welfare system?
Screwing the country in general??

Like they could give a s#it.

WALKERS PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGALS, CLEARLY STATED ON 4-24-15

“When I asked if he supported a pathway to legal status, he said no, he’d send them back to their country of origin and let them get in line with everybody else.”

We need to elect a President who will stand up for the rule of law and the citizens. No one has been more consistent than Jeff Sessions. I don’t trust White House road conversions when the issue is this important. It’s not like WI had been immune to the invasion until the end of March of this year.

You realize that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave used to be a senator and what has brought us? Besides Senator Sessions has to be willing to run and I doubt that he is

Walker has not called for reducing legal immigration. I wish he would. He’d be my favorite for the nomination if he did. Reducing legal immigration would be good for the country and would preserve a fighting demographic chance for conservatism. But all Walker actually said is that the interests of American workers should be considered in setting legal immigration policy. That gives him wiggle/weasel room to later say that he agrees with the WSJ and the chamber of commerce that unending and ever-increasing legal immigration is actually good for Americans!

I’ll give the author credit in that he didn’t say Walker wants to end legal immigration, as some on the right and left have falsely done. The author is right that support for reducing legal immigration is a widely held mainstream American view. It’s much more popular than support for increasing legal immigration. But Walker hasn’t actually gone there yet, and who knows if he will.

Demographics is destiny. Mass legal immigration is importing millions of future democrats every decade. It has helped turn Calif and other states blue. It has helped turn red states purple. It will probabaly make Texas competitive in the not too distant future.

In its demography-shaping power, legal immigration has no rival.

Walker and Cruz need to debate on the issue of immigration.

That's the 'conventional wisdom'.

I don't believe that conventional wisdom will hold up for this election.

It's also meaningless in this part of the election process.

I'll keep sending my time and money to Cruz.
