I'm going to take Governor Walker at his word for as long as he maintains it in hopes that other candidates will likewise adopt his position with respect to protecting the American worker. Rick Santorum has already done so. It is a noble position as opposed to the duplicitous act of railing against amnesty on one hand while grabbing corporate cash with your other hand in exchange for supporting the gross expansion of H-1B visas.
“It is a noble position as opposed to the duplicitous act of railing against amnesty on one hand while grabbing corporate cash with your other hand in exchange for supporting the gross expansion of H-1B visas.”
I’d call being against amnesty, then for it, then against it right before deciding to run for president duplicitous. Certainly disingenuous.
“It is a noble position as opposed to the duplicitous act of railing against amnesty on one hand while grabbing corporate cash with your other hand in exchange for supporting the gross expansion of H-1B visas.”
This sounds nice and good, and I am definitely open to supporting Walker. What I don’t like though is claiming it is “duplicitous” to have maintained a consistent position against amnesty for illegals and a consistent position of advocating for an increase in LEGAL immigrant visas.
If you don’t agree with his position, just say so, and if that is your “hill to die on”, fine. But I fail to see how being consistently against amnesty and for reforming our legal immigration system is duplicitous.
I also fail to see the nobility in having advocated for a path to citizenship and now taking a general position of “protecting the American worker.” That, to me, seems inconsistent, especially since Gov Walker lays out no specifics about what he would do within the current immigration system to protect the American worker. As with many of his statements, they are so general they could mean just about anything.
I do appreciate your honesty in disclosing you are supporting Walker. Overall, he’s a good man and would make a fine POTUS. I just happen to prefer Cruz even though I may have a difference with him on H1B visas and one or two other issues.
Right, you mean before he “evolved” on immigration. Or, the mess with the WEDC in Wisconsin? Or, you mean his strident support of the Patriot ACT being brought back?
