Scott Walker on Birthright Citizenship: ‘I’m Not Taking a Position on It’

“I’m not taking a position on it one way or the other“, he said in that interview.

Trump argued earlier on Sunday that he is unconcerned with Walker’s 2016 campaign, given his record in Wisconsin.

“I think part of it is that it’s very tough for any politician to be fully immersed in the business of being governor and simultaneously running for national office”, Heck said.

Republican Scott Walker is in the middle of a three day campaign visit to New Hampshire. “That’s quite a change” Franklin said. “There are a lot of folks in our state legislature who didn’t want to tackle the kind of big, bold reforms we pushed – we had to take them on first before we ultimately took on the unions and special interests in Washington“. What’s odd here is that Walker promised supporters this week on a conference call that he was going to be more aggressively anti-establishment on the stump and try to win back some of the supporters he’s lost to Trump. “It’s silly political correctness”, he said.

Kirsten Kukowski, Walker’s spokeswoman, later clarified her boss’ comments, saying he wanted to eliminate the problem of birthright citizenship, not necessarily actually eliminate birthright citizenship. We are talkin’ BAD MUTHAf***A tough, all you all.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich last week spoke in favor of leaving the constitutional protection in place.

Last February, Republican assemblywoman Melissa Melendez launched an anti-Muslim hashtag, #standupagainstIslam, in response to the death of American hostage held by the so-called Islamic State (ISIL) in Syria.

But when he was asked if that meant deporting children of undocumented immigrants, he said that what he meant by enforcing laws was to focus on the E-Verify program, an online system that allows companies to verify their staff’s eligibility for employment.

Walker added that he opposes a repeal of the 14th Amendment legalizing birthright citizenship, saying border security and immigration law enforcement are the more pressing issues. It’d be nice if he had a position on what to do about kids born here to parents who manage to evade President Walker’s new security measures.
