Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is slamming Hillary Clinton’s new approach to immigration as a “full embrace of amnesty.” In Nevada Tuesday, Clinton said she would not only protect President Obama’s unilateral executive actions on immigration but that she would go beyond them to offer new status to currently illegal immigrants. And she said her final goal for those who came to the U.S. illegally is “full and equal citizenship.”
“Hillary Clinton’s full embrace of amnesty is unfair to hardworking Americans and all immigrants who followed the law to achieve the rights and privileges afforded to U.S. citizens,” Walker said in a statement Wednesday. “And by supporting the president’s lawless executive action, Hillary Clinton once again believes she’s above the law. Working families want to secure the border, enforce the law, and fix the broken legal immigration system.”
Walker has roiled the immigration debate inside the Republican world by saying “the next president and the next Congress need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that’s based on, first and foremost, on protecting American workers and American wages.”
