......................“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,” he explained. “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. The federal government needs to step up and act.”
The most impressive part of Walker’s answer came at the end,where he didn’t just leave the issue at border security—he said that’s just step one,but after that’s completed there needs to an immigration policy that serves the national interest and protects American workers from cheap foreign labor that forces like the Chamber of Commerce,major labor unions,and other elitists are pushing for. He used language that sounds like it came from Sen. Jeff Sessions(R-AL), the immigration populist who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest—and specifically noted that wages of “American workers” must be protected.
“You can’t be talking about anything else until you do that,” Walker said. “Once you do that you can then we can talk about enforcing the laws by using an effective e-verify system for all employers,one that works for small businesses,farmers,and ranchers and making sure that any legal immigration,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. That’s the way we prosper for every hard working American in this country.”
...If Walker stays on this path, it could mean bad news for the rest of the GOP field.
