Scott Walker Lays Out Pro American Worker Stance on Immigration

"Walker is now the only potential or declared GOP presidential candidate to discuss the negative effects of a massive increase in legal immigration on American workers:

In terms of legal immigration, how we need to approach that going forward is saying—the next president and the next congress need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that’s based on, first and foremost, on protecting American workers and American wages, because the more I’ve talked to folks, I’ve talked to Senator Sessions and others out there—but it is a fundamentally lost issue by many in elected positions today—is what is this doing for American workers looking for jobs, what is this doing to wages, and we need to have that be at the forefront of our discussion going forward.

Conservative Media Rallies to Walker After Tough Talk on Legal Immigration

"The conservative movement’s leading media icons lined up to back Scott Walker after the media attempted to lynch him for talking tough on immigration. After being attacked by outlets such as MSNBC, Mother Jones magazine and the Huffington Post, Walker stayed the course, telling the Quad City Times on Friday that American workers had to come first.

“A couple years ago, when the unemployment rate was at incredibly high levels and labor participation was low, why would we want to flood the market with more workers?” he said. “So that would be a time when you would have arguably less. As the unemployment rate goes down and labor participation rates go up, the two have to go hand in hand. Then it could be conceivably more than we have today. So it’s not a set number.”

I have seen no such plan. Trump plans to deport all illegals and then allow "the good ones" to come back in as legal immigrants. This was a plan proposed by Pence and Hutchison back in 2007 and was rejected then as equivalent to a selective amnesty, which it is.
