Generally I agree, which is why Walker's position on legal immigration is so different and why it will invoke attacks from the GOP's corporate paymasters and political establishment. It remains to be seen if Walker will be forced to back down.
As of yesterday, Friday, Walker is holding firm: Pressed by Young Republicans, Scott Walker Sticks to Tough Immigration Stance
He repeated that view Friday after a speech in Cedar Rapids, when Eddie Failor, 24, expressed concern “as a young Republican” that the party must make inroads to new voter blocs, including by supporting a comprehensive overhaul of immigration.
Mr. Walker told Mr. Failor that his top priority would be securing the border. He also said he favored “making sure the legal immigration system is based on making our No. 1 priority to protect American workers and their wages.’’
Alexander Staudt, the treasurer of the University of Iowa College Republicans, also told Mr. Walker in the meet-and-greet line that he was concerned that by talking tough on immigration, Republican candidates would turn off Hispanics.
“In terms of how wide or how narrow the door’s open, our No. 1 priority is American workers and American wages,’’ Mr. Walker told him. “I don’t know how anyone can argue against that.’’
I would feel a lot better about Scott Walker if he changed his position on a path to legalization for illegals already here.
Seems kind of illogical. Stop or reduce legal immmigration, but legalize illegals.
I liked when Santorum said deporting illegals to sunny Mexico was not exactly like sending them to Siberia.
Most Republicans act like it deportation is capital punishment.
