I wonder where Walker stands on illegals?
I like his position on the H1B. But what about other legal immigration?
People having to wait 6 years in many cases.
I got denied trying to bring a niece here to Disneyland, yet they won’t do anything about illegals. They denied her because her biological Mother is in Canada. Stupid things like this.
“Expected 2016 GOP candidate Scott Walker is making a concerted effort to clarify his stance on the country’s immigration policy.
Wisconsin Gov. Walker, who’s expected to run for president in 2016, has said candidly that he’s changed his mind on immigration reform after saying in 2013 that he could see a plan in which illegal immigrants could eventually become citizens. On Wednesday night with Fox’s Sean Hannity, Walker tried to strengthen his position on securing the border and preventing illegal immigration in the first place.
“In Texas in particular, [Texas Gov.] Greg Abbott showed me with the men and women on the ground from the local level to the state level to even some of the fine men and women who work for the federal government, and they show that we’re just being overrun, that this is an issue of safety, of security, national security, it’s ultimately an issue of sovereignty,” Walker began.
“If the United States was being attacked in one of our water ports on the East or West Coast, we’d be sending in our military forces, and yet we’re facing some of the same challenges with international criminal organizations, the cartels that are trafficking not only drugs but weapons and humans, and we need to step up and be aggressive,” Walker continued. “that means securing the border with infrastructure, with technology, with personnel and the federal government’s got to lead the way. We can’t expect the border states to do this alone.”
“You can’t be talking about anything else until you do that,” Walker concluded. “Once you do that, then we can talk about enforcing the laws — by using an effective E-verify system for all employers…and making sure that any legal immigration system — no amnesty — any legal immigration system we go forward with is one that ultimately has to protect American workers and make sure American wages are going up.”

“.....Likely candidate and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has also had a complicated history on immigration policy, says he is open to providing citizenship for some undocumented immigrants. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who announced his candidacy this month, co-sponsored a Senate immigration bill providing a path to citizenship that he has since disavowed.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has said undocumented workers already in the United States are not likely to leave, so they should be turned into taxpayers. Aides to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas say he hasn’t ruled out the idea of a pathway to citizenship for some.
In an interview Monday on Glenn Beck’s radio show, Walker said illegal immigrants “have to go back to their country of origin” to be considered for citizenship and suggested placing limits on that legal system.
“The next president and the next Congress need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that’s based on, first and foremost, protecting American workers and American wages,” Walker said in the interview. “We need to have that be at the forefront of our discussion going forward.”....
