Scott Walker is decidedly not for amnesty for undocumented immigrants. But what immigration policy is he for?
The Wisconsin governor, fresh off a speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit that earned rave reviews, and currently enjoying a popularity surge — he’s just pulled ahead of the Republican presidential pack in Iowa for the first time — stopped by ABC’s This Week earlier today for an interview with Martha Raddatz.
After grilling Walker on foreign policy and getting him to say he wouldn’t rule out sending ground troops to Syria, Raddatz shifted the conversation to immigration. Stipulating that Walker supported securing the southern border and fixing the nation’s immigration system, Raddatz began this portion of her interview by asking Walker point-blank, “what would you do about the 11 million undocumented who are still here?”

Wait... is someone trying to tell me that all conservatives won’t agree on all issues all of the time?
Just how are we to nominate anyone?

Why do we need an immigration policy? Why not enforce the laws and legal policy that is already on the books?
Now agreeing on stopping and reversing the invasion of the US is a stopper. We do not need another Chamber of Commerce cheerleader pretending to represent US citizens.
Didn't hear the whole thing, but that Martha Rat-ass is a real piece of work.
If we nominate someone who will grant citizenship to illegals, then being a conservative will cease to have any significance at all.
From ‘The Hill’, July 3, 2013:
Walker was then asked about the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally. The editorial board asked if he could “envision a world where with the right penalties and waiting periods and meet the requirements where those people could get citizenship?”
“Sure,” Walker responded. “I mean I think it makes sense.”
You're right. AFTER we enforce the laws on the books THEN we can discuss an 'immigration policy'....
Translation: I am for amnesty.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the GOP been equally culpable in this mess? I seem to recall the grass roots having to mobilize to stop terrible amnesty plans supported by much of the GOP office holder and leadership class.
Everyone knows it is not possible to deport 11 million people.
Well, it is possible, if you operated your country like you were Hitler or Stalin, but it is not very possible here.
The solution? Don’t allow any more illegal immigrants, and keep arguing about what to do about the illegal immigrants already here until they all die of old age....
Fair enough. But some issues are deal killers. Immigration (amnesty/open borders) is one of them.
I'm still not clear on Walker's position on this yet. But ultimately, if I don't like his position on immigration, I won't vote for him.
How about the current one?
Just close the borders and enforce the laws we have, dammit!
As a Southerner it is funny listening to a Wisconsin Governor wiggle on the issue of illegal aliens which is a form of slave labor. Walker is a squish on the border and immigration.
I think illegals were kicked out in the late 1940s. Maybe again in the 1950s...
There’s a concerted effort to run Walker down.
RINO GOPe and others are trying to run him down as a “squish” when the thing is, those doing it are not squishy on it, they are full on liquid when it comes to the issue they try to tar him with.
Do you understand the concept of self deportation?
It would have worked with illegal immigrants who had been here 2 or 3 years. But I don’t think it is very feasible today. If illegal immigrants could not get jobs, some would leave, but not many.
